Stand-Up wise, Neal Brennan's '3 mics' was mostly enjoyable.. he's obviously a talented writer.
However, there's a distinct strand within American stand-up that seems to rely on overt personal exhibition, which this guy builds right into the routine with a full third of it ('one of the mics') dedicated to 'emotional' performance. It's, for the most part, not at all funny.
I sort of get it, and I sort of found it interesting — but it was too much. Way too much.
I'm not sure why hundreds of people would go to listen to someone pour out a load of personal shit without much expectation of a laugh or three from it.
Odd. Worth a watch though — I'd just be prepared to either skip some of it or sit back and wonder at it all.
