      Audience Member Laughed my ass off countless times! Definitely one if his best one. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member This is ... pretty good. The guy's funny, but I found an hour of this to be a clear case of diminishing returns. There's little variety in his material so I pretty much new what was coming after the first 15 minutes. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member You can't lose with Chris Rock. I don't care who you are, you want to laugh, watch this. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Very funny stuff, it is all the general "racial" humor. It plays on the black stereotypes and Rock is very good at incorporating the jokes and fluently moving into the next ones. It is older classic Rock stuff and he has a few jokes that get good big laughs and a few smaller more timid ones. Overall nothing falls short and they are all very comedic and Rock put together a solid set. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Very funny. Of course racist, but that made it funny.

      Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel There is something here to offend everyone, but [Chris] Rock's outspokenness is refreshing. This outrageously entertaining program is a welcome antidote to today's absurdities. Aug 2, 2019 Full Review David Bianculli New York Daily News It's a great showcase, written entirely by a gifted comic whom you should, by tuning in, allow to Rock your world. Aug 2, 2019 Full Review Heather Thompson Guardian [Chris] Rock seethes with a refreshing blend of irreverence and anger, setting forth on everything from gender and fidelity to taxes and modern medicine. Aug 2, 2019 Full Review David Zurawik Baltimore Sun [Chris Rock] struts and frets his hour on the stage in black leather, walking back and forth, back and forth, yelling at the audience. This is the comedian as rap performer, not artist. Aug 2, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
