I mean, of course I had to watch this after what Inside did to me.
Is it as good though? Well...no. But only two complaints arose for me. One is that I don't think Bo should be saying a gay slur on stage, although the salt and vinegar joke was hilarious, and I think is only made even better when you remember he was specifically talking to all the white people in the crowd.
And the other is that the opening of this special seemed to be implying that there would be a consistent theme to this, much like Inside, but there wasn't really any such thing. It goes from straight white privilege, to nursery rhyme rap, to country music slander, to Pringles cans, and I might not have minded this if the opening part wasn't there, because I was kind of expecting something more consistently going for anti-humour, and for the most part it wasn't.
But that aside, this is amazing stand up. Every song is memorable, has really funny messages and lyrics, Bo is an absolutely perfect performer throughout the whole thing, he's captivating, has a great personality, and an on point sense of timing, and the lighting happening on this stage is honestly amazing.
I can even say there's a few shots that impressed me from the directing, which isn't all that common for a stand up special, where all the director is really required to do is just keep the focus on the guy doing the funnies.
So I wasn't let down after Inside, which is a pretty amazing feat all by itself, and I can't wait to see his other special too.
