Jerrod Carmichael: Rothaniel

Experimental, up close and personal, lonely, a deep dive into the mind of a Rothaniel, and I’m so grateful it exists

Incredible well-delivered storytelling. Carmichael gives us a look into their family, class, race, and sexuality, all with a sense of humor.

Less standup than a comedic yet heartfelt confessional, probably Carmichael’s most authentic filmed performance, amusing but also touching

A compassionate and empathetic special featuring one of the few good uses of live audience participation.

personal,very personal,dealing with lgbt acceptance of yourself and others,finding out generational problems within family members, funnytoo

This sort of just hit me, like hard. Just watch it

Didn’t really tell jokes. He just came out as gay on stage

It's an honest and intimate performance, but I missed the consistent laughs of his first 2 HBO specials.

This is barely standup. It’s a mix of performance art and a scripted one man show. Low on laughs, too much info with too few punches. Skip.

Very good one man shop disguised as a comedy. Drags a little towards the end. But exceptional. Going to be hard to follow.
