I waited for 15 minutes to hear something even moderately amusing. Then, forwarded to the last 10 minutes, because - surely he's going to end with his strongest stuff, right? There was not a single laugh line in this! In fact, the end is a screed of his (supposed) girlfriend telling him there was nothing funny in his 'special' - exactly what you'll be saying if you don't heed this warning to not watch. He needs to be encouraged to take up a different line of work!!

Everybody in the comedy world talked about how this comedy special was the worst. It was a thing where his friends were like "dude, I can't even look at him anymore." that's how bad it was. - Luis J Gomez

My policy is once I start watching something I watch it until the end, no matter how bad it is, so I can write a honest review about it, but in this case I really struggled not shutting it off. I didn't but was really close doing it. Is a comedy not supposed to be funny? I get it that we can't all have the same sense of humor but this was by far the worst unfunny stand-up I ever watched in my life, and I watch a lot of stand-up comedies. Not once did I laugh, not even a tiny grin. I didn't know Drew Michael before watching this piece of garbage but now that I know him I'll make sure I write his name on a piece of paper so I will never make the mistake again watching something with him. I absolutely can't stand him, he's one of those egocentric people nobody really can't stand, one of those guys that thinks he's special but unfortunately he isn't and nobody in his entourage has the guts to tell him to shut up. I doubt he has a lot friends, or maybe just fake friends, or stuck-up people like him. After five minutes my wife and I already had enough of his endless ranting about things nobody cares besides himself. His show is also filmed in a ridicule way, it actually fits him well, another failure like his boring monologue. Every now and then Drew Michael calls Suki Waterhouse, another really annoying person to indulge. Their conversations are of another level of dumb, interesting to absolutely nobody. Her résumé about Drew Michael in the end was actually spot on, almost like he knows it himself that he's one of the most boring pompous people on earth. I can't believe HBO would air something like this. Does nobody checks the quality of a show before giving it the green light? I can't imagine somebody did this, and if so this person should be sacked.

Okay so here's the thing. Jerrod Carmichael did a phenomenal job directing this special. But it isn't his fault that it wasn't funny in the slightest definition of the word. I did enjoy the experimental idea of not having an audience and I think had it been a Jerrod Carmichael performance then it would've actually been a much better production. Instead we're stuck with Drew Michael's cringeworthy takes on life that didn't make me laugh once. It was actually rather disturbing. That being said, I do think that this experimental take on a comedy special could be the start of something interesting where a special is portrayed in ways other than the traditional comedian and audience set up. When or if that does happen I just hope there is a better comedian involved. I wouldn't recommend this to fans of comedy but I think aspiring directors might enjoy the way this was shot which is why I will give it a 4 out of 10 rating instead of something lower.

That reason was I had NO idea what I was watching. I was doing things around the house and missed the intro and title. Thankfully it wasn't too long before the credits appeared and I could IMDB it. I didn't get it, at all. I can only recommend if you need background noise.

This is a very different type of special and for his content , it works very well. As a fan of standup , this is very different and people should check it out .

This shouldn't be advertised as stand-up comedy or comedy of any sorts. It's not even a little bit funny. Might be interesting for depressed teenage girls, though.

I look towards HBO for great stand up showcases as for nearly three decades it was the only place to find them consistently before Netflix came along. This was no different, a comedian I had never heard of with a special on HBO is always a great way to learn about a new talent and be entertained by a fresh take on society and/or life in general. I was a bit confused at first by the presentation. No audience and a performance monologue approach cut with a Skype conversation with a love interest is not what many consider stand up comedy. Drew's performance is paced differently as well, coming off at first as a bit whiny, hasty, and pessimistic, but then I realized without an audience and the expectation of a timed joke this was a man showing his inner demons without the pretense of a typical comedy show to buffer my insecurities on his thoughts or jokes. It made the experience so much more real, as if I was in my own head. Much like having a dark thought or joke that you would never share but still laughed out loud randomly to. Once I found the rhythm of the presentation, the whole piece became more engrossing, hilarious, and a new way to experience "stand up" comedy. Drew's honest, rapid fire, almost rambling deliver crossed with intimate and up close frames of himself made me feel connected to him as a real person lost in thought and feeding these enlightements and insecurities directly to my own mind without the stage, lights, and audience that forms a natural disconnect that we are not aware of or just accept. I was also highly impressed by Jerrod Carmichael's artistic vision in the direction and overall feel to the piece. Intimate, insecure, and most importantly, very funny. I will expect more comedians to try this approach in the future but as the first of it's kind, that I've come across anyways, it succeeds on every level.

Firstly 90% of the one star reviewers here are people whose lifetime total reviewers is exactly one review. That points to s SINGLE whiner who was offended creating a dozen accounts to downgrade this routine. Are we surprised that his would happen in the PC world that gets offended at anything and everything? I found this routine smart, subtle and original
