Jim Jefferies: FreeDumb (2016)

Genre: Comedy
Cast: Jim Jefferies
Running time: 76 minutes



In his latest comedy special, titled FreeDumb, Jim Jefferies discusses such topics as Bill Cosby, the work of a comedian, the link between vaccines and autism, Jenny McCarthy, his family, politics and much more.

The Australian stand-up comic doesn’t hold back when it comes to delivering his edgy material the way he always has. My only issue is he spends a little bit too much time trying to explain that these are just jokes. I get it, and a lot of other people do; those who cannot take it: Screw them! I also feel like Jefferies stretched out the last part of his show too much. I get that some comedians want to finish their show by making a point. That is perfectly fine, as long as it is concise. At least, some solid points were made, so I am in a forgiving mood.

Overall, FreeDumb is a very good, laugh-out-loud comedy special that is well worth watching. Not as good as Bare, another show of Jefferies available on Netflix, but it is still solid material. The bit on Bill Cosby was plain awesome, and the same goes for the vaccination jokes.
