    Awesome delivery!

    I'm not quite sure why there are all these people saying this was "awkward". If you want a history lesson you can watch a history show or read a book. John provides an entertaining take on the history of Latin Americans. It's a mixture of comedy and dramatic interpretation.

    In contrast to your standard punchline stand-up comedian shows on Netflix, this was a welcomed break from the norm. It's a one-man play and was quite entertaining. There's no doubt that it's artistic interpretation and in it he exposes the challenges he faces as a parent and his frustration/obsession with the maligned history Latin Americans have been given.

    Yes, you can read Howard Zinn's classic book, and I highly recommend it. But if you prefer dramatic interpretation, this was an entertaining approach!

    LATIN HISTORY FOR MORONS

    Hmmm I was Bored so I ALWAYS LOVED JOHN'S WORK IN MOVIES. BUT NEVER SEEN HIM ON STAGE. So i Watched his HISTORY Glad that I watched it. It was Very interesting on how he put the Show on. Funny, but I was more into the History of it all. I didn't Laugh as much as everyone on the Show. I was more into his HISTORY. He was Funny but if he was a Teacher. WOULD KIDS LEAVE THE CLASSROOM????? NO WAY HE HAS THERE ATTENTION. INTERESTING PROGRAM

    History for real

    I'm a white southern boy who witnessed firsthand the genius of John Leguizamo at Raleigh's Goodnight's comedy club. He told us that night he was testing the material for this special. What a truly funny and eye opening quasi lecture he presented. Incredibly entertaining, funny, and informative. Props to Leguizamo on another amazing performance. I highly recommend for anyone, especially some of the more ignorant white MAGA supporters out there (you know who you are)!
