Natalie Palamides: Nate - A One Man Show

I can see why some people don't like this special. Those people probably expected a standard stand-up special but this is so much more. If your a fan of improve and don't mind being uncomfortable at times(that's the point people) then you will most likely enjoy this. I personally found it to be hilarious.

Natalie plays a macho man on stage in a post-"Me Too" world. The character is ludicrous, disgusting, naive, sad and (at points) trying to do the right thing. Gutsy in look, the protagonist is topless throughout the whole show, sporting a wig, hair everywhere and a handle bar mustache. The large physical performance involves purposely awkward crowdwork that is fun at first, shocking in the middle (as the performance gets pretty raunchy) and pretty middling at the end. And that's how you might describe 'Nate' as a whole. A good concept designed to shock that just ultimately fizzles out as the viewer's asking themselves, 'Why?' Is it a meta-commentary on the ultra-serious one man show? Was that the point? Or was it really just about how men just don't get it? The message is intentionally vague but at least it was entertaining.

I haven't been slapped in the face with this kind of comedy in years. If you don't like Kaufman, you won't like this.

If you love the purist form of absurdist crap that leaves you uncomfortable, feeling sorry for the audience, and laughing till you soil yourself, then strap on in.

I need an entire series. I want a collab with GWAR. I can't wait to see more from N.P, because WHAT A GENIUS, HOLY MOLY.

Not only was this show hilarious, but it also has a pretty solid moral lesson for us all............just axe.

I don't understand why this has such a low rating. I laughed so much my cheeks hurt many hours later. Natalie is fearless and funny but manages to keep a message about consent throughout the entire show. I cannot recommend this enough. That being said, it's not for everyone.

Okay, why two stars then ? Well 1 stars don't get counted and the makeup and acting was actually okay (to a point). But the show tried to only stand on vulgarness and the uncomfortable state of the audiens. This isn't really comedy in any sense of the word, I don't know why it was classed as that in the first place. It's more preforming with a laugh of awkwardness add too it.

I do like satire, dark humor and pythonesque humor, but it was really none to be found here, it was just escalating absurdities and sadness. I really hope Netflix din't use actual money on this because it really makes me rethink my payments too them, as this is something I helped bring into the world then. I would be a better person by using pirat sites instead if that was the case, as that at least meant I was not partaking in making more of this.

This is the "girls and two cups" of comedy, you see it to sare others too, just to see the horror build in them as it downs on them what they have gotten them self into.
