Moses Storm: Trash White

Moses Storm: Trash White is a superbly written comedy special performed beautifully. An unashamed and personal story that has strong jokes and excellent delivery. Occasionally sentimental. Occasionally uncomfortable. Storm brings you into his history and shows you how hard growing up in poverty is without becoming a lecture or a smug pity party. My only problem is the staging, the set was distracting without really adding to the show and the outfit Moses wears made things slightly disingenuous like he was a carnival salesman. I wonder if the show had been filmed more like Jerrod Carmichael 8 that it would've better served the material. Yet the lighting is effective and the few uses of film projection are good without being distracting. Moses Storm himself is reminiscent of Robin Williams in his performance- a more sedate and subdued Robin Williams. Flaws aside this is a truly excellent comedy special. I mean, I was moved to write a review. Highly recommended.
