Jerrod Carmichael: Rothaniel (2022)
Felt like I was constantly at the edge of Devastation
I believe Jerrod is truly a master of his craft. His special is vulnerable, charming, and depicts a quiet introspective experience that wraps around the heart in a bruising fist. He's able to break the tension easily but doesn't try to shy away from acknowledging his own incomplete journey and complicated emotions of what coming out to his family has been like.
I didn't know what to expect from this special, bc tbh I didn't even know he's a comedian. As soon as he began his special on the topic of family secrets I sucked in a breath and kept on holding it, bc I know what its like to keep secrets of and from your family.
When he came out to his audience you could cut the silence with a knife but he didn't falter, even poking lightly at the reaction and what the audience might be feeling. And this is why I think he's absolutely brilliant bc by maintaining this easy camaraderie he seemingly completely draws his audience further into his space. The venue truly becomes the definition of "a safe space"
I can't wait to see more of his work. And I wish him nothing but success for his future.
