I have watched way better stand up comedies, this is definitely not among the best ones of them. However, this guy made me laugh. When i watch a stand up comedy, this is the goal, i just wanna have a good time, i don't care about comedian's character or their political stances. This show didn't begin very good, but as it progressed, it became better and better. There are some hilarious moments at the second half. Dave Hughes is a funny guy. I would laugh even without hearing him, just by watching his grimaces and his gestures. I didn't know him before this show. Definitely from now on, i'll keep an eye on him.. Don't look for something meaningful/multilayered, and you will enjoy it. No messages here, no agendas. Just Sophomoric humor. That was enough for me.

Lost me during COVID, lifetime fan

The "storyline" reads:

"While Melbourne was locked down, Dave Hughes was trending. He went viral during the pandemic and managed to get himself in trouble with pretty much everyone. Luckily, Hughesy is zen."

Problem is that the rest of us Aussies arent zen about Dave making an absolute pillock of himself and carrying on like some backwoods American conspiracy nut. Spouting dangerous anti vax nonsense, when he decided he'd crossed from being a comedian into a self professed medical doctor means he doesnt get a pass and lost many, including me, after a lifetime of being a fan. COVID really did show up a lot of people who we once enjoyed as really poor human beings. Eric Clapton was another lifetime figure who i happily removed from my life because im tired of celeb-experts. Have an opinion, but dont spout bs as fact....

This is a man who made jokes about people suffering COVID and people were dying from it. This is a man who spouted his Trumpian "alternate facts" into the toilet bowl of the internet, twitter.

Do not reward him by watching his attempt, im sure at trying to spin his way out of it, he doesnt deserve it.

Couldnt give it a zero, sadly.
