Aziz Ansari: Nightclub Comedian

It's pretty spot on and sweet. The part about Timothee bubble tea is so good! Some reference I don't get cause I'm not from America. Also the part about vaccination can be shortened. This man has the power of being genuine and moving even in a stand up setting. His old footage is sooooo cute. Should this show was longer tho.

An existentialism night with Aziz who has stepped back to observe and then deliver his verdict to us mere mortals, but all with laughter intact and food for thought.

Always love the serious side to a comedian, and Aziz did have some valid points of what is so screwed up with this world without talking down to you. The maturity of an artist is always frowned upon by followers who prefer the artist to remain the same, like a favorite beverage or food. Sometimes the artist needs to also mature with their work, and Aziz is heading in the right direction...

This is a low production, almost impromptu recording of Aziz doing 30 min at the Comedy Cellar in NYC. What makes it worth it is that this time Aziz gets personal, authentic, and genuinely thoughtful about the how the world has broken down since the days of flip phones and Nokia bricks, all the while staying light, clever, and often times hilarious. Definitely worth the watch.

I volunteered at Rape Crisis for several years in the 1970s, and tend to fall into the "believe the woman camp." However, after reading her account and his account, I did believe her. What I didn't believe was that it was sexual harassment or rape. What I believed is that two young people didn't communicate very well, and Ansari paid the career price for all the other men who did sexually harass and rape.

Maybe one day our culture will get this right.

Anyway, I was happy to see Aziz back and funny, I have missed his comic voice and the intelligence in his act.

Half an hour of Aziz is better than no Aziz so I'm overjoyed at this. It was great hearing his take on what life has been for what is now going on three years. I also like that his material is getting an even more poignant edge to it. He had a bitin his last special about family and how infrequently they are seen and it immediately made me rethink how often I should see my aging parents. As great as his comedy is, that moment has done more for me, and I hope many others who maybe never would have thought about it in the way he presented it. And there is a bit more in this special but I'm not going to give away anything to ruin hearing it from the man himself.
