Michael Che: Shame the Devil

We chuckled a few times. We were slightly amused at times. The left coast audience seemed eager to laugh at anything, maybe to get their minds off their terrible conditions. This is not a comedian we would ever pay to see.

This definitely isn't your average comedy special, and I almost switched to something else. I'm happy I didn't. This was heartfelt, personal, intelligent and of course it was funny. It's easy to be funny screaming and throwing zingers but it's also something we've seen a zillion times before.

Overall the special was just okay, I definitely had a few good laughs while watching it so I don't think it was bad, but the laughs were pretty spaced out. If you're bored and need something to watch I guess it's worth it once, but I definitely wouldn't pay to see him live.

He is low-key but it works. He almost tries to keep the jokes from getting too out of hand, which goes against the logic of a comedian. And his subject matter is pretty much what Dave Chappelle hits on. Long story short, I will be watching more of his stuff.

It started off very slowly and I was wondering when Che would start telling jokes. And then it reached stratospheric levels. I laughed for most of the show. If you prefer low-brow, slip and fall jokes, genital jokes this special isn't for you.

Comedy is special in the fact that you want someone else to say the stuff you can't say out loud or publicly. If you get easily offended, this special isn't for you. Some of his jokes, you'll have to watch/listen again to get the meaning. You laugh and think at the same time, which is his brand of humor. It's not for everyone.
