Jerrod Carmichael: Rothaniel

"I've really been digging the recent trend of openly intimate stand-up specials. This is purely performance as therapy (and/or vice versa); and the audience participation is so honest & heartfelt. I could totally understand why some people would get upset by paying to see a comedy show, and instead witness someone on stage tearing open their chest and showing us their raw humanity. Personally, I would be honored to share that experience with a performer."

"This was definitely a unique comedy special. It’s a very raw real and honest stand up. But he is naturally funny even while talking about something so personal. It’s actually a brilliant special that’s short sweet and straight to the point."

"He’s such a beautiful person. Effortlessly funny - I don’t know where people get the notion from that you have to be nasty & mean to be funny. I hope they bring his Carmichael Show back. "

"jerrod has such a comforting presence. like this just felt so casual. i really adored it. i love when comedy specials really let you connect with the comedian. "

"incredible special - i've never seen anything quite like it before"

"Both funny, touching and heartbreaking. "

"Amazing. I went in blind, not knowing what to expect. It was amazing. Not surprisingly, it was directed by Bo Burnham, and it conveys the same kind of raw, honest feeling as his own work. "

"Funny, tender, honest. A different kind of comedy special. "

"Yes! Incredible and so vulnerable. Really really enjoyed this. "

"I only knew jerrod from his show but this was very eye opening. It was raw but warm at the same time and I loved the connection with the audience. It was very open but still made me laugh out loud at times. This was really great work and I can’t wait to check out more of his stuff and some from bo as well. Love ya rothaniel 💙. "
