Comedian Chris Rock delivers a stand-up comedy special in Baltimore for a Netflix special.
I generally like Chris Rock's comedy though wouldn't call myself a die-hard fan. I am a fan of his fearlessness and unPCness and here he doesn't disappoint. Quite a lot of jokes that many comedians wouldn't go near for fear of the Woke Brigade and offense seekers in general.
There are some great jokes and topics (once again, often going boldly where no one has before), especially towards the beginning of the show. From a point he did seem a bit repetitive and some of his jokes a bit forced, more relying on the outrageousness of his statement than on any humour involved. Plus, in general I do much prefer comedy of the serious-seeming-story-and-then-punchline variety (e.g. Dave Chappelle) rather than Chris Rock's opening-line-is-the-punchline style.
This said it is very funny at times, as well as thought-provoking, and as a bonus, we get his take on the Will Smith incident at the Oscars.
