I'm not really a Broadway person, but I love John Mulaney and Nick Kroll so I had to check this out. This show is absolutely hilarious. My friend and I were laughing the entire time. They make fun of a lot of tropes in theater which great. Their characters George and Gil are so funny. There are a lot of New York related jokes that probably make the most sense to people who are actually from New York, but I still found it very entertaining.

Hilarious
Oddball
Found it mildly humorous but think it's too regional specific.
I'd imagine if your American, or more specifically from New York, it's probably absolutely hilarious but unfortunately humour that really doesn't cross the pond.
A disjointed and bizarre show that I only watched on Netflix because it mentioned Michael J Fox and for that, I only needed to watch the 7min trailer rather than the whole show.
Endlessly Fun
Full disclosure- if you don't enjoy Broadway shows, subtract one star from the rating, and if you don't live in New York, subtract another. The humor is unapologetically slanted to a New York theater audience, but it is, after all, a limited run Broadway show.
Mulaney and Kroll inhabit their characters so comfortably and completely that one tends to forget the men behind them. A two-hour show of self- absorbed, borderline delusional caricatures is so reminiscent of Steve Martin's early comedy that his cameo in the middle of the show feels like a foregone conclusion.
The jokes are fast paced but the premise never seems rushed. The performance is loose, but scripted and theatrical enough to feel substantial. I've watched it twice. Highly, highly recommended to comedy fans.
