Jim Jefferies: This Is Me Now (2018)

Some comedy is good enough to smile and chuckle along with. Not so with Jim Jeffries. Jim slowly drags the audience along through sometimes unfamiliar and awkward stories. Many stories hit a hilarious home run at the climax. Jeffries' ability to deliver an unvarnished accounting of the human experience is outstanding. No matter how embarrassed he has been, he still tells the story. In fact, this comedian seems to take great pride in his most horrific life moments. If you have ever felt out of place, judged by others or not good enough, but you end up muddling your way through and coming out better that before, then Jim's comedy will likely entertain your mind and lift your spirits. To laugh at our own low moments gets us through life. Jim's ride, thus far, has built him a foundation that delivers insight, joy, laughter and even embarrassment. But, it is OK. That is the whole point. Enjoy!

Yet another spectacular performance on stage from the most iconic comedian of our time. I don´t get why people that are not used to his humor or like his kind of humor keep seeing his shows / specials, but i stop trying to understand people a long time ago :)

I'm a big Jim Jefferies fan and I've seen maybe all his stand up and this one is probably the worst. It's a little too political at times which to me is fine if it lands but a lot of the jokes didn't land. I'm glad I stuck around though as he had a great bit about Al Pacino though that was worth the wait and makes me question if he actually met him. I'm sure he hasn't but he did the impersonation so good.

I really liked the first couple of Jim Jefferies stand-up specials, he was a fresh, edgy and rambunctious new voice when he first appeared, but living in LA and hosting that awful chat-show seems to have tamed him and given him no time to come up with any quality material. He really doesn't have anything new to say and what he does have to say isn't all that funny. There are no great set-pieces or even any lines you'd want to remember to pass on to anyone else. I laughed precisely twice. Some of the bit about Trump was moderately amusing but so safe and predictable, and nothing that the average man in the street couldn't have easily come up with himself. The Al Pacino story was nice but didn't lead anywhere, or add up to anything, it was just some stuff that happened. Unless it was simply a contractual obligation, I can't actually see why Jefferies wanted to put this show out at all. Really just a disappointment.
