If you are not familiar with the reluctive stand-up comedy brand, you may not find Glee in your last special, Please applaud. But if it is in the joke, or at least, but the leg after the online presence of the Australian comedian over the years, he will feel at home with his subversive and postmodern show of show that is almost loose to be fun that Iks Iks Iks English. Functioning as a single man show with spot Intense audience participation and audio drops of your sound technician, James, Reuben alone: please applaud It is a special that immerses itself deeply in the trade of comedy, but you cannot not use welcome thanks to the willingness to rely on the absurd.
The program framework
Reuben alone: please applaud It is framed as an arc of redemption for the comedian, which last year are booed with the duration of the stage and America’s Got Talent Hearing. Duration of the hearing, Hey, hit the gold timbre, for indignation of Heidi Klum, Sofia Vergara, Howie Mandel and Simon Cowell before the judges collectively gave him the boot and told him it was fun. When reviewing the images of his disastrous performance, Reuben is only in a deep depression and wondering if he should give up his dream of being a comedian.
Solving to claim, dresses with the same outfit hey America’s Got Talent And he goes to the stage where his audience awaits him anxiously. At this point, you will ask if they relocate alone AGT Hearing was just an elaborated configuration for Please applaud, Or if he made a bomb bed in front of the judges and was inspired to produce this special in response to the poor reception he obtained for his trick.
I still don’t know the answer to this question because the meta-humor Reuben alone: please applaud It is in depth.
A little inside or a little inside or a little
Term of false fake beginnings of intentionally, so bad that they designed complicatedly to bother the audience when they are not worth it, and frequent interruptions of James, Reuben alone: please applaud It is a reminiscence of the comedy of Bo Burnham in the sense that each aspect of the show must be tried meticulously so that the light and sound gags are executed properly. At one point, he only responds to a call on his cell phone before telling a audience member who is the call for them, giving them the phone and punishing them for a telephone valley of the valley of the call of their special.
After dragging the drill for longer than any other comedian would dare, it is only possible to return to Hispone, just for the same audience to tell him that he cannot use a recording, that everything is on his way to leave.
This continues … for a while.
Anti-comedy done well
Mocking the audience (and himself) in each step of the road, the “work of crowds” of Reuben alone Please applaud He is also intentionally uncomfortable because he finds a solid jump point for his humor, he resorts to Gags as elaborate tests of lies detector meaning by bells, abolish and red and green lights at indications of indication of hembers are bees Beeul beeul beeul beule Beule Beule Beule Beule Beule Cuestas. Every time he only returns to the stage, dribble to the cameraman, but only before asking James to evaluate the bit bit that moves the next or tries desperately to give a do.
Constantly concerned about whether microphone support is brass in the shot, he relies only graciously through his disaster in a set in Please applaudthat culminates in a final joke based on the definition of Einstein’s madness that requires several passes to resolve because Hefinds himself stayed in a loop that not he is not no, it is not that it is not that he cannot not do that he cannot not make him not break, what resulted in an existential crisis for all the notes).
Not for everyone
Specials like Reuben alone: please applaud They are not for everyone because you cannot simply enjoy it as a unique stand-up special, but rather an extension of the canon and the tradition that has only erected for your personality on stage through its online presence at the years. There are simply too many winks and winks on the way to completely collect what you are throwing if you are not familiar with your work, and he offers his comedy at such a frantic pace that it is difficult to continue with you, he does not know what he is getting. However, if you have a leg watching relief alone, then Please applaud It is an absolute pleasure for fans of the anti -denia because enjoying the joke means being totally in the joke before the special begins.
