Ehhh...it was okay with a few chuckles every now and then. We've seen this kinda content from him before and from others before, so it wasn't anything new. Play it in the background while you cook or clean.

So so.
Setups that didn't pay off
As another reviewer said, he was very repetitive sometimes, and it fell short. "Cancel me. Cancel me! C'mon, cancel me. Cancel meeeee." He also did at least 3 setups that fell flat, with the live audience and myself. He'd do this big build-up, then tell a switcharoo joke that wouldn't quite land. And while I agree with most of what he said during his soapboxing, it's all been said by every comedian these past three years.
Its like watching a very bad roast on society
It's one of those stand ups that starts off aggressively to give you the impression of this dude got some balls for taking on controversial subjects that he drags on way too long with the anticipation of getting better or funnier perhaps but that delayed train never arrives.
