Sheng Wang: Sweet and Juicy

3 user reviews for a stand up that actually makes you chuckle throughout. Thanks, Ali, for bringing out a talent that stayed in the shadows for far too long. He is right amount of quirky, right amount of laid back, right amount of mundane and unbelievable amount of funny. The set is so tightly written, one bit after the other keeps on coming and almost all of them lands. Unlike other comedians of Asian origins, Sheng does not appeal to his racial identity or point of view in the construct of his jokes, he keeps the jokes perfectly general. Also, he is sometimes observational, sometimes imaginative and always lyrical. Good job Netflix. Again, nice work, Ali.

My virtual standing ovation to Sheng. You are in my personal list of favorite comedians now.

I'm always checking out, "new to me", comedians. Most don't make it past the five minute mark. Sheng's content is well researched, developed, and delivered with comedic perfection. Feel like I struck gold hitting the play button. Thank you for the balls of mutiny to not give up in such a brutal line of work, Sheng! I love stand up and excited to have a new favorite on my bucket list. Also, his hair is amazing. I was entranced and laughing, like an insane person when watching. Worth it. Looking forward to more to come!

Don't want to risk revealing spoilers, but, his observational comedy is on-point. It's relevant. He's subject matter is broad and very intelligent. We gotta keep those fridge top fossil fuels an option.

I stumbled upon the 2022 stand-up comedy special "Sheng Wang: Sweet and Juicy" while looking through the available stand-up comedy shows on Netflix. And never having heard about Sheng Wang before, I opted to sit down and watch the show and see what he had to offer.

And I have to admit that his particular style of comedy was not particularly compatible with my sense of humor. Sheng Wang didn't make me laugh once throughout the course of the 60 minutes that the show ran for. So it was somewhat of a swing and a miss for me to sit through this stand-up comedy show.

It should be noted that Sheng Wang did feel at home on the stage, as it was something that came natural to him, and he certainly was capable of making the audience laugh. So it wasn't that he wasn't funny, but his comedy talents just didn't appeal to my taste. I found that he appeared sluggish and everything was in slow motion, so I was desperately lacking some in-your-face energy from Sheng Wang.

Without being brought to laughter, then I have to say that sitting through 60 minutes of the show felt rather prolonged and slow. I can't claim that I am in any rush to go out and watch more of Sheng Wang's shows, if there are any.

My rating of "Sheng Wang: Sweet and Juicy" lands on a three out of ten stars.

Wang has written a few things and acted in a few roles. It's probably even harder to write and perform standup in front of a large crowd, exposing your true self to the audience and to the camera. Finding that combination of timing and humor to make people laugh. Jokes on timing your health care, basketball, and buying things. How our take on stores changes as we get older. Funny jokes and great delivery ! I agree with the other two reviews here... really great stuff! I hope wang keeps on keeping on, and records more standup shows. He is introduced and directed by fellow standup ali wong. Or maybe they could do combination show together?

My friend and I put this on tonight for background noise but from start to end we watched Sheng and LOAO!! He's our new favorite comedian. Looking forward to Shengs next stand up special!! Laughed so much we counted our belly laughs as our ab workout for the week. 😋 Every skit we could relate too. I mean really relate to! I love a good deal and was just at Costco last night and my friend and I were like scavengers in the clearance clothes tables. We both had to stop each other to not buy anything bc most of our clothes of late have been from Costco. I said to her we need to stop bc we are getting way to comfortable with a Costco wardrobe. We need to start shopping around! Lol.
