First off you need to address the audience for this show. The were just awful. I do not know where they got these people or what was wrong with them but they would not know funny if it bit them on the face. Neal Brennan did one of the best sets I have ever seen him do and they barely clapped for him. Not sure if it was the subject matter or what, but they seemed very sensitive. When recording these specials the audience is pretty important. No matter how funny or skilled a comedian is, the audience ultimately sets the mood. This audience was like a dead fish for most of the comics.
The next problem is the mix of comedians. They have some incredible comedians mixed in with people that should never hold a microphone. I think most people will find themselves just skipping some of these comics about 4 minutes into their sets. But one thing is for sure, these comics do not belong on the same stage together.
Here were my individual ratings (1 to 10) for the US and Canadian comics sets. There are many more but this will give you a start.
1. Neal Brennan 9 Just a great set. The audience did not seem to like the subject matter but F them. Great writer and great stand-up.
2. Chris D'Elia 8 I have seen better from him but this was still good. Great comic.
3. Nicole Byer -1 I don't have words to describe how terrible she is. She just screams and laughs at her own "jokes". No thank you.. ever.
4. Nick Swardson 5 I have seen him so much better than this. Just a bad day?
5. DeAnne Smith 6 Not my type of humor but pretty good. Crowd liked her.
6. Ivan Decker 8 Never seen him before. Thought he was excellent.
7. Dave Merheje 3 Lot of screaming + Adderall? + bad material = not good.
8. K. Trevor Wilson 7 I found this guy pretty amusing. Interesting style.
All in all I would suggest giving this show a chance. Just make sure you keep the remote in your hand and a finger on the ff.
