Thoughts
We might be joining in the tradition of watching stand up comedy in bleak January here, with another live special, this time from Kevin Bridges. I’ve not seen a lot of his comedy before, other than the iconic accent recognition piece but always willing to give it a go. Overall, I enjoyed it, but the comedy fell into three buckets for me - one where I didn’t know what he was talking about, referencing people or events I don’t know. The second was just not really funny to me, Covid jokes are still a bit soon, not too sure on the Hitler bit. But the third was where he absolutely nailed it and the bit about your brain waking up as you go to bed spoke to me on so many levels. Mixed results but an enjoyable watch nevertheless.
