I previously knew Deon Cole as a costar on Blackish, but fell in love with his individual stardom watching this Netflix special. I loved his humor and comedic timing. He is laugh out loud funny. Great job!

It's been quite awhile since I've seen a comedian this funny. All the jokes were well written and Deon delivered them in precisely the manner that brought the most laughs. I enjoy seeing him on the TV show Blackish, but I did not know that he is this hilarious. Deon is going to be a rising star!
So damn funny!

Unfunny

Never heard of this comic and would be pleased never to hear of him again. Nothing funny here, but more like a noisy, nasty drunk down the end of the bar. How do these people get 'specials'? This man was playing to a very forgiving black audience - one that seemingly would laugh at anything. Admittedly, I turned the show off at about twenty minutes in, so if it became gold after that, oh well.
Won't he do it? YES HE WILL!

I recognized him, but hadn't seen his stand up before. It was PERFECTION!!! In fact, I can't wait to watch it all over again when my boyfriend gets home from work later.
Great style and he really worked the physical comedy as well! Laughed wayyyy harder than I have in a VERY long time, and will definitely be watching anything of his that I can going forward!!! Also, had some interesting thoughtful / not comedic stuff in it that I really enjoyed.
And not that it is here or there, but total. seven. course. dinner. plus. dessert. Whew!
I accidentally left a review on his seminar instead, but I will just blame that on being exhausted from laughing and sweating so much.

One of the best comedy specials I've seen in years!

I've loved stand-up shows since forming an unhealthy attachment to Eddie Murphy's Delirious way before it was appropriate for me to be a fan. My cousin gave me a copy of her audio tape and we had it memorized basically by 5th grade.
My love of stand up has stayed and I have been delighted to watch dozens upon dozens on Netflix and listen to comedians on Pandora on all car rides so I have heard about everyone who is even mildly popular.
I will say there are a number of specials that disappoint me and aren't nearly as funny as they should be to have a solo hour recorded. Deon Cole is hilarious, his special top notch, laugh out loud funny, but he has been under the radar for the most part and that is tragic!
I knew he was kinda funny from black-ish and writing for Conan, and I had caught various bits on Pandora that were really funny (I love his "I don't get jokes" friend calling hang-up bit, google it you won't be disappointed) but wasn't sure about a special.
I listened to it while mowing my lawn and my neighbors had to think I was mental ! I was laughing the whole hour, almost non-stop! Sometimes I would have to stop I was laughing so hard, or I would need to see it as he is a physical comic sometimes and needs a visual.
His jokes are smart, his message is good but not overdone or cheesy when he does a serious-ish moment or two in the show, and he is just flat-out funny. I think this special is one of the best and I'm sad that he isn't recognized more for his talents!
10/10 rating, this special is special! LOVED it!

A top notch act
cekadah5 November 2019
Artful, trenchant, ingenious - just a few words to describe this show! Mr. Cole certainly knows how to present himself on stage and his stage presents is certainly a part of the act.
Catch this video because it will have you smiling and laughing! He articulates his jokes and life observations directly to everyone in the audience and his witticism is spot on!

Laugh out loud funny

Deon is funny....made me laugh out loud every few minutes. I give most Netflix comics a chance...most I turn off after 15 minutes. I did watch all of Deon and his comedy gets better and better. He is very good with the physical side of it too. He also gives women some real good advice about what they should and should not put up with.... Hope he makes some more comedy specials...
Laughed so hard

Another good discovery in the stand-up comedy.

I didn't know Deon Cole before this show but I will for sure look out for his next shows from now on. Physically he reminds me a bit of Lionel Ritchie and a bit of Eddy Murphy but then much better build. He's quite agile during his show, which I like, it's much better then a static performer, it creates a good interaction with the audience. His jokes are sometimes subtle but certainly effective, but most of the time it's very straightforward, the kind of comedy you like or not, in my case I liked it a lot. There are a couple passages where he starts preaching a bit, and that was to me the weak spot of his otherwise excellent show. He should just stick to bringing his jokes like he did most of the show and he will for sure never fail to entertain.
