Review of Drew Michael (2018) by Gib G — 30 Aug 2018
Drew Michael is a genius. A very dark genius. I watch him do stand-up in NY and it blows me away how he can conceive such intelligent thoughts on some of the darkest topics and consistently make it unique and original and personal.
The format of this no audience thing seemed odd on paper, but it adds another dimension to the special and it feels like a narrative performance, like we are sitting in on a private session with his therapist that melds in with couples counseling.
To keep things objective, I wasn't into the the girlfriend phone conversation cuts AT FIRST. I wanted to fast forward to Drew, but I didn't and glad I didn't. After watching the special it shaped the narrative and lead to a fulfilling ending.
I've met Drew in person and he's also a super nice guy. Not that at matters, but it's good to see nice people on TV.
