Ronny Chieng: Speakeasy (2022 TV Special)
3/10
Comedian forgets his Punch lines
6 May 2022
I think he's a funny guy typically; he seems to usually aim towards Left wing politics a lot in his jokes which is fine because he's usually funny. The last special was hilarious but this time it felt like he was out of material shortly after starting. The amount of times he repeated "That's the ups and downs of comedy" or repeated the Mr Bean impression was a bit embarrassing; and then the part where he kept trying to make sure he didn't offend his left wing audience......oh boy "This was a younger me, less experiences me....a younger me etc etc" for 3 minutes was just like he was nervous to even tell his joke. It's odd considering how he easily bashes the intelligence of anyone with a differing opinion than his during the pandemic.

I agreed with his last part ironically about reviewers online bashing his "craft" or anyone's craft in entertainment while not themselves knowing the craft; there is truth there for sure but it wasn't funny and as with most of his other "jokes" it felt more like a rant than anything.

Hopefully his next special is funny and he gets new material.
