time: 60 minutes
As you can see from the title of his Netflix
comedy special, Last Comic Standing Season 4 finalist Chris Porter falls into
the “Angry Comedian” category. While not necessarily crude, his material is
somewhat edgy, with some strong language. The angry genre is not everyone’s cup
of tea, but it is one I dig a lot.
I identified a lot with Porter’s material.
From the struggle of remaining nice in spite of stupid questions to the people
who constantly feel the urge to fill every bit of silence around you and the
acceptance of your own lack of handsomeness, this American comic’s stuff really
resonated with me. I found myself laughing out loud many times. Both the lines
themselves and the delivery contributed to making this a funny show.
The only fault I found in Chris Porter: Ugly
and Angry is that the comic started strong and then the material got a bit
weaker. The closing stuff was still funny, but it is better to build to a
strong finish, since that is what the viewer will remember most. Still worth
seeing for fans of the genre.
