Cast:
Michael Che
Time:
60 minutes
In a live comedy special recorded on stage in
Brooklyn, Michael Che pulls no punches as he discusses racism, homophobia, the Black
Lives Matter movement, Jesus, gun control and many other topics.
From the get-go, I loved how Che was brought
on to the stage by a live rock band. That was a nice touch and it gave the
whole intro a much more dynamic feel. The man’s comedy is honest and
uncompromising. I did not necessarily agree with everything being said, but good
points were made and I loved the fact that he dared to go into some uncomfortable
zones, comedy-wise. When there was some push-back from the crowd, like on the
subject of Trump (this show was recorded before the election), Che showed
himself to be very apt at improvising and playing with the reactions.
Overall, Michael Che Matters is a very funny
comedy show, with a few weaker moments here and there. Che has that nervous
thing where he often giggles at his own premises and punchlines, which can be a
little annoying, but, all things considered, the comic still manages to make
you laugh and think. Highly entertaining.
