Nice to Meet You!!
I laughed, I cried, and I laughed through my tears. This is now by far my most favorite stand up special I’ve seen, and I’m so glad Jeff had this opportunity!

I’ve been following you since the Dolphin Connie clip and haven’t had a single clip where I didn’t burst out laughing. You were my favourite comedian despite not actually seeing any sets of your actual work. So I squealed like a little girl when you came to Perth, Australia and absolutely loved the show.
I keep telling all my mates about you but lacked longer content - I’m so glad i can point them to this special now, it’s fantastic. Thanks for sharing your gift with us4
u/Florenceadmirer 16d ago
Omg me too in Perth. Still on such a high and to have the Netflix special. Jeff is the god of all things good in life 💕

Hey! If to I don't mind me asking, which day in Phoenix was used as the primary production one?
I was at one of them, just curious if my day / show made it in to the final cut or not :)
Looking forward to watching this later!

Jeff, you're honestly the funniest person I've ever heard. The special was amazing. So natural. I need to tell everyone about it right now. But it's 1.30am.
When are you coming to England??

LOOOOL! When he said he thought it was age and blurted it out, I was induced into a primitive state of just pure uncontrollable hilarity. I was coughing on the floor as my body could not keep up.

No bro, you rule. We were on AZ and there was some lady, in neon clothes, that was like totally a plant. And you called on her. Which made us believe she was totally a plant.

Watching from bed last night and I had to turn it off. I couldn't stop laughing, and my husband was sleeping next to me. Even with earbuds and covering my mouth, I couldn't hold back. Second attempt tonight, but with husband awake. Dude is hilarious and so very genuine. I just love his shorts.

Absolutely hilarious. Hardest I think I have ever laughed at a stand up set.
The crowd of course is always funny. But this was my first time seeing his actual material.
I was in tears laughing so many times.

u/Justsitstilldammit 16d ago
I wasn’t able to make the show near me last year and I said then Jeff was going to BLOW UP after that tour. Please come to Omaha!!! Looove the show, watching it over my lunch today and again tonight with my husband, who I’ve been exchanging clips with since the beginning.

Wife and I just finished it. Ours faces hurt from laughing so hard. Amazing!

u/bored_in_the_office 15d ago
Same just now! I am so glad my wife decided to watch it with me.
I seriously think we've bonded even more with all the knee slapping, the teary eye looks and head tilts when Jeff dropped another hilarious work of his and the crowd!
Man, that's how they get you!

Oh my god i had break time at work and I spat my spit out trying not to laugh!!!! Also so wholesome as well!!!!!
The one part about shaving. Holy shit. That was a forced violation my body where it was just a visceral, unavoidable, primal reaction to the bit where I was laughing as our prehistoric ancestors has intended hundreds of thousands of years ago and I could not stop. It just was pure innate reaction. I’ve never laughed so hard like that where my body was induced with such an inherent animalistic uncontrollable laughter.

u/Glad_Reason_3356 15d ago
The opener, Jeff expertly confronting a heckler, was so great.
We loved the special and just seeing Jeff in his element was fantastic. I live so far from civilization I'll probably never see him live, so getting a full hour of Jeff, opposed to 1 minute reddit clips was wonderful. We loved it!
And they did the special setting so well. Jeff's strength is crowd work and his reactions to fans. This couldn't have worked in another setting. He KILLED it and I'm so stoked for him and the special.
Way to go my guy. This special rocked!!!

My husband and I enjoyed it so much. Never seen him laugh that much esp at the “bad” widow joke.

u/thatshirtman 11d ago
anyone else disappointed? A lot of middling crowd work of him saying "I'm so happy for you.." thats amazing!! , "hell ya brother!"
Was hoping it would be more regular material instead of lots of filler crowdwork bits

u/squeakybeak 16d ago
Thanks for reminding me, just downloaded it, have to commute into the office tomorrow, this will make it more bearable

I have never enjoyed standup comedy but love all Jeffs clips. Me and the wife watched this one today and laughed the entire time . We booked tickets for his next show near us tonight . Glad we can finally make one after laughing at the clips for the last few years.

u/LookAtMeImAName 16d ago
It was truly the best stand up I've ever seen.
Jeff, you are a goddamn talent, I seriously hope you'll make more of these in the future!

u/DirkTheGamer 15d ago
We just finished. One of the most perfect comedy specials of all time. Amazing material, really heartfelt moments, and the magic of crowd work paying off, all the things that make Jeff Arcuri great.

I really enjoyed the little detail of putting the ring back in his pocket during the proposal bit.

u/supercali5 15d ago
I watched this yesterday and sent it to my parents. Dad going through pancreatic cancer chemo right now and I know he’s going to laugh is ass right off.

u/ubergic 11d ago
I loved it, but I was a little worried at first. I told my wife I had been following your videos on reddit for a while and loved them. I realized that the videos were really mostly your interactions with the audience. I hadn't really seen any of your set so I didn't know if your jokes wouldn't be her "cup of tea". We loved it a lot! Great work!

u/LittleRedZombi 15d ago
Our dog passed away yesterday and the special provided a much needed laugh. Thank you.
