Disappointing to say the least. I was waiting for this after seeing the trailer but disappointed. Kenny, I am a fan of you, but your materials are not good enough. Chappals n birds, too random of a subject n doesn't have any relevance. Trying to force the issue for the sake of it. This show wasn't natural at all.

A superb Kenny classic of lucid, physical, musical comedy
chak-anurag21 June 2021
Very throroughly enjoyed this netflix comedy standup special. It was very relaxed, gliding over mundane everyday life topics with the typical Kenny style etflix comedy standup special. It was very relaxed, gliding over multiple mundane everyday life topics with the typical Kenny style observational comedy at its best, where we can see him humanise so many non living and living things humorously😄. Also the content matched his personality and presentations. And finally obviously his musical outros were too good👌🏻.
Many thanks for his funny stand-up routine which left a lasting lingering smile and laughs making it a very satisfactory entertaining event.

It's hard to digest that it's written and performed by a professional

For his fans this special may feel good but in actuality this is below average stuff. It's not something that you expect from "one of the best Professionals" from the comedic field. Most of the show will make you smile rather than laugh.
For "some reason" the Crowd is mostly filled with girls and they seem to laugh and cheer even when he's not cracking a joke or saying something good. Odd 🤔.
In my conclusion I would like to say that please don't watch this below average stuff. You will leave it half way through anyway. Better to Skip it completely. Funny how He's called a "professional" comedian.

Kenny: Most Interesting, more like Most Boring
FullBush29 May 2020
I think people including myself seem to appreciate comedy which has some dark aspect to it. Just family friendly comedy seems to be a content of the past. Ofcourse if the stand up special is around 1 Hr long, you would definitely have a few punchlines but one thing it has to be through out is ENGAGING. I didn't find Kenny engaging in this Netflix special. Same unreal family expectations and personal failure jokes are becoming tedious, give us something new. If comparison has to be done, Kanan Gill's special was 3 times better than this and even that was average. Wasted my time. If I had a do over, I wouldn't watch it any cost. UTTERLY DISAPPOINTED.
Too bad. Unbearable. Not comedy
ntshkhatri29 May 2020
I tried watching but couldn't bear it. I was waiting for comedy but nothing worth laughing and enjoying in initial 30 minutes and couldn't continue more than that. Highly disappointing and sad to know this guy is one of the most famous stand up comedians in India.
In his new special, Kenny truly is the most interesting person in the room.

One can feel it in the first 5 minutes as the special starts, that Kenny is all hearts in yet another masterfully written and brilliantly performed special of his. He says in his one hour that it's better to be remembered than to be interesting. This special is both- interesting and worthy of being remembered. His nuance in observations from an average, mundane, daily life to his use of music to bring out the central theme of the self-worth and meeting expectations is remarkable. He is a through and through performer, his jokes are well thought of and we'll worked upon, they are
Painful.

Amazing and great
subhikshni3 June 2020
I've been waiting for this for a very long time. This was totally worth the wait. It was amazing and great. From the start to end it was all up tight and it was such a smooth set. I have already watched it thrice and I will be watching it again anytime now. Everybody should watch this for to know facts of life through jokes. Totally Loved it.
Not that Interesting Bruh !
notyouranthony6 June 2020
Honestly speaking I am one your biggest Fan, but unfortunately this was not what me and my friends expected from this show. Compared to your previous one "Don't Be That Guy" I would rate this one a (-6/10). TBH, I missed the last 10 minutes of show, because I slept off. Nothing to offend, this is just a honest review. But we have hopes that you will Ace it in your next one. All the best Bruh \m/
Pathetic morbid stuff

The first 5 minutes into the special and you know, Kenny is all hearts in yet another masterfully written and brilliantly performed special of his. He says, it's better to be remembered than to be interesting. This special though with all nuanced observations and wonderful music that connects the dots is both interesting and will be remembered for long. He is a performer, and even something as simple as drinking water in the middle of long hour of talking is made fun with his antics, thus giving the audience no dull moments. Watch it for the art and the artist both and witness a masterclass on making mundane things interesting enough to bring out them
When you get to do a NF special, you should make it worth the audience's time! This was clearly not :(
baravaniniranjan3 June 2020
I planned to watch this because I had liked Kenny's earlier stand ups (older ones which I liked more than his later work). But within minutes of starting I realized it's not worth the watch:( the material itself isn't special worthy at all! Nothing much to genuinely laugh about, nothing interesting and it seemed forced, couldn't get why audience were finding it funny?! After first 15 mins or so I just fast forwarded to some later scenes and found it to be no different & so closed it off.
Had seen Kannan's latest special when it came last month and though didn't find it as good as his previous special (keep it real, which was one of the best specials of Indian standup), now I feel it was way better than Kenny's!
Rated 1 extra star only because his work used to be good and with the hope he doesn't repeat this in future :)
Wouldn't recommend watching this, better spend time watching something actually funny :)

Infinity out of 10!!!!!!!
rakshithjagdeesh2 June 2020
Ok.. Where do I start from.. It was a well written, tight knit set.. 1 hour went like 15min but I rewinded a lot of 'em coz they were beyond funny..Back drop was just amaze balls... When u played the guitar, the tone of the light just blended so beautifully well with the kinda tune he played..
Cuddling bit was dammnnnn hilarious.. 😂
And in the end, harmonium along with western beats fused soo beautifully well..
Calls harmonium as depression and sadness, and people are supposed to laugh at it?
creator_sagi2 June 2020
It's 2020 and you are entitled comedians like him are still trying to pass on "Harmonium is sadness" & "curriculum of SSC was sadness" as a joke. And that's just first 20 mins of the show. He goes to say stuff like, "guitar is high heels, while harmonium is paragon chappal"
And who gets to decide what's what? And who, in their right mind think this is funny?
No, it's not Bout indian music vs Western music, although Kenny goes on to make it about the same for a long time.... But my outrage originates from the the point where I think of the renowned and not so renowned classical musicians who gave their life in pursuing a career involving instruments like harmonium only to be ridiculed "harmonium as depression" by the likes of Kenny Sebastian
Subpar material with terrible delivery
hardbore31 May 2020
I usually don't write IMDB reviews since I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to stand up comedy.
And I have seen enough Kenny Sebastian shows to like him, I even follow his hour long podcasts. But this show was terrible.
The jokes were way below average for a comedian who gets a Netflix special and the delivery was equally bad. None of the jokes landed. I literally switched it off after 10 minutes.
It seemed like he probably pulled together the material in a hurry , I expected much better content.
I would say don't waste your time, there's way better content out there
Wish I could give it a 1000/10

I have never felt this uninterested
kritika-719932 June 2020
I am a serial binger, i watch everything i'm the most millenial millenial you can find yet, it was exruciating to watch this through. not only was it unfunny it was also distasteful. i'm sure Mr Kenneth wanted to draw attention to castiesm in india but it just felt like humour at the expense of castiesm. i couldn't move past that and so my oppinion can be flawed but as i said if i couldn't watch it you probably can't either.
Chill genre of comedy
abhishek-aga6530 May 2020
The show is light n chill, the topics are light with observations and kenny feel like a breeze..
One thing about kenny that now he doesnt care about people have to say about him which is a very habit, if you are in comedy field..
The kind of comedy kenny performs is good for comedians to get inspired from because he makes everything lively such as chappal, dosa, harmonium, guitar..he gives everything a face and voice...
Its a great set..in stand up comedy dont go by the review, see yourself...its good stuff.

Kenny recently said that its his best one yet
kickasssaviola12 June 2020
The fact that kenny is not accepting that his netflix special is bad and despite all the bad reviews, the general public not liking it and even some of his fans agreeing to the fact that the special is really bad, I am left with nothing but disappointment and I pity kenny.
Standup comics have become so arrogant that you're not even allowed to dislike their content anymore. They will call you out separately and call your feedback/criticism as something thats wrong. They will say that you're spreading hate and don't know anything about comedy. Kenny's twitter handle and the reply on his tweets is a prime example.
Its just sad and his special is not something that one should pay for(to watch it live or on netflix). At the very least this is not something that's acceptable from a top comedian and definitely not something thats worth being paid and promoted for.
Dull bland. Disappointing
ram-hemanth329 May 2020
Was waiting to watch for since the trailer dropped. Trying to think of why Kenny released it. The most funniest joke was when he said "thank you guys you have been lovely" and audience started clapping sarcastically. I gave 3 all for his guitar skills.
The Most Interesting Person In The Room is BEAUTIFUL!
mridani-215374 June 2020
The most interesting person in the room is a visual brilliance! It's so well written and brilliantly performed, so much so that I have watched it thrice already! Worth the wait, indeed! The callback jokes are so perfect and well timed. And I just love the musical comedy that Kenny has performed so brilliantly. It's almost impossible to not talk about the whole stage setup of the show everything is so spectacular from the background to the shift in the lighting. The entire show is so amazing and so beautiful! I will definitely call it a WHOLESOME ENTERTAINMENT!
Mediocre at best
ll-318-42788628 June 2020
Totally Agree! He's the Most Interesting Person!
mansisuryavanshi3 June 2020
The Special is Very well written.. The Best thing about the special is How Kenny take us on a Beautiful Journey of his observations & thoughts..The Best Part is the Flow between the jokes.. all the joke bits r diff from each other but he connects them all together like a Cute story... His Observational jokes are too perfect that makes us laugh a lot coz we have seen/experienced that in our daily lives.. Also, the way he uses Music to entertain audience in middle & Music with jokes is his speciality... His Expressions are main reason which makes it even more interesting..
If u wanna be stress free I will suggest you to watch it.. You will really get a calm soothing & happy feels :):):)
The most boring person in the room.
