Here is the stand-up comedy set you requested.
Anthony Jeselnik: Thoughts and Prayers
2015 |
USA | Laughs: 5.5 (Watch Once) |
imdb: 7.8
I watched this after the day after seeing Anthony for the first time (in his 2019 show
Fire in the Maternity Ward) and was surprised to find it considerably weaker, which is good news as far as things to come.
The set may be uneven, but if you're an amateur of stand-up I'd still recommend you watch it as it contains a few really strong bits, including one of the best gun jokes I've heard.
Anthony's taboo topics (such as kids getting hurt) don't bother me, it's just that his craft is less polished on this show than on the next — from themes to writing to delivery. Some of the jokes are even objectively lame, such as the one relying on word play on the word
deer or the one about an uncle at NASA.
But despite this and the fairly boring second part, this is still a far more worthwhile hour than all of the filth that passes as comedy these days.
Looking forward to seeing some of Anthony's future work.
