The Standups

At first, this show feels like an up-and-coming comics showcase. The first episode felt pretty strong with Nate Bargatze. But in later episodes, I found myself 20-30 minutes into the show, quitting the episode and skipping to the next one. I pretty much did that with the rest of them. Unfortunately, most of these lesser known comedians appear to be unknown for pretty good reason. It felt like they didn't really have much in the way of jokes to tell, but hoped somehow talking about themselves would be hilarious. It is almost cringey watching these mediocre personalities dying in front of a huge, live audience, with nary a chuckle.
