    The funniest special I've seen in 7 years

    I won't over complicate it: this is a guy completely unafraid of comedy in 2023, and it's downright refreshing.

    I cannot believe the tightrope that he has to walk for some of these jokes, but the fact that he keeps going and is unapologetically just doing whatever he has to do to get a laugh out of the audience is a comedian who understands that he's not a philosopher or a politician: he's a jester. Shane Gillis absolutely knocks it out of the park.

    Keep an open mind and understand that this guy is just trying to make people laugh, and I assure you you'll have a good time. I'm at times surprised a company like Netflix even posted this.

    Finally - a real comic

    While he is not my kind of comic (stick with me here)!, I applaud him for his ability to go deep into topics that far far too many comics today are afraid to even think about let alone get up on stage anywhere and actually talk about and make fun of!

    Comics are supposed to make fun of literally everything that we (I precious and dear - from disabilities (which if we don't have, we know and love someone who does - even if they don't know it), to color and (my favorite) the color of cocks.

    His descriptions are detailed, I'll leave it at that, and most of them are hilarious! Some go on a bit long, but hey, don't we all.

    I see I've used up the much loathed and totally unnecessary 600 minimum characters on this on excellent character.

    What a great special

    I walked in I said WOW what a great special.

    Shane is the man, it's incredible to see how far he has come since being removed from SNL. He's been nothing short of spectacular and you see it reflected in his loyal fan base. Shoutout to the dawgz. Very happy to see such a. Deserving performer finally achieve the greatness he's clearly worthy of.

    He comes out very hot at the start then gets more and more comfortable as the set continues. No spoilers, but he has a bit about the girls who got dragged to the show by their boyfriends that's pretty hilarious.

    If you're not a fan of Shane, or haven't heard of him before, this is well worth the watch.

    Possibly the funniest Netflix special in recent years...

    With the oversaturation of cancel culture friendly, unfunny content from Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura, Shane Gillis returns to bring it all down. Shane really throttles the line the entire special, stepping over it and then crossing right back. Sure, there were a few jokes that didn't resonate with me, and watching Shane's awkward body mannerisms made me as uncomfortable as he probably was; but when the jokes hit, they hit hard. My only complaint is the set probably could have used another 10 minutes of material. The question most people should be asking after watching is, when do we get another Shane special?

    On the money

    Shane Gillis is off the charts and one of the funniest guys comedy has to offer. Not afraid to dive into touchy topics in a lighthearted manner. You always find people that go too far on either end of the spectrum (pun absolutely intended). They're either too afraid to make people mad or push it too far beyond what's acceptable. Gillis found and lives in that middle ground and it's awesome. The impressions were also spot on as always. Had me cracking up on a plane.

    I will say some of his jokes fail to land, which could just be me personally. But overall very funny.

    Definitely worth checking out and is one of the best specials I've ever seen on Netflix.
