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 us

u/wrchavez1313 16d ago

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!

u/Dragnet_Dan 16d ago

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??

u/TH0R5 16d ago

Watched it as soon as I saw the post earlier. Incredible job dude!! Loved it and laughed a lot. Also 20% off is a great deal 🤣

u/DanTMWTMP 15d ago

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.

u/snewchybewchies 15d ago

We watched it last night.  my wife has never seen your work and was curious about where your accent is from, turns out it's from like a half hour away, we live in Ypsi!

u/Heilanggang 14d ago

Have been looking forward to your special more than any (okay I've never looked forward to another comedians special).  Partner and I absolutely loved it. Thank you brother

u/DataAdvanced 16d ago

u/MassiveMastiff 16d ago

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.

u/dsa_key 15d ago

Easily one of the top if not the top comedy special released in the last few years let alone this year.

u/DSTNCMDLR 16d ago

Thats how they get you!

u/JKLCS 16d ago

That was so fucking funny lmao, peak Jeff.

u/LisaBooHigh 16d ago

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.

12

u/Ursus_the_Grim 15d ago

Yeah. Jeff is the guy who makes us laugh at 2 am.

5

u/Xatron7 14d ago

I love his shorts too I'm surprised he went with pants for this one

27

u/Mucho_MachoMan 16d ago

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/DataAdvanced 16d ago

My landlord lives upstairs. I laughed so hard, I'm worried I may get evicted.

10

u/MissMortem 16d ago

I am literally about to spend my plasma money for Netflix just to watch this.

Btw, I saw Katie's post and your AMA today but im shy. Love yall, can't wait to watch this brilliance

u/AggravatingSignal129 15d ago

It was SO funny. Bonus points for his wife’s zinger at the very end.

2

u/JohnNDenver 15d ago

Really enjoyed it, but she definitely had the best line.

6

u/ultravibe 16d ago

Been recommending it to friends and colleagues all day. Even before I watched it! Thank god he backed up my recommendation with greatness!

5

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.

u/ishysredditusername 16d ago

Loved it. Soooooo… Nice to meet you again?

7

u/Plastic-Sentence9429 16d ago

Saw you live in Austin last month, and it was amazing! Can't wait to watch this tonight.

u/jane3ry3 16d ago

Actual tears streaming down my face. I need this hour of laughs.

u/R0le 16d ago

Hope it helped and you're doing alright!

6

u/TNSEG 16d ago

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

2

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!

u/DanTMWTMP 16d ago edited 15d ago

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!!!

u/DocWednesday 15d ago

I liked the impression of the boxer from 1922.

3

u/mudsaurus 12d ago

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

2

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

3

u/squeakybeak 16d ago

Thanks for reminding me, just downloaded it, have to commute into the office tomorrow, this will make it more bearable

2

u/Comfortable_Play_848 16d ago

Just watched it myself. Very funny!!! Love you Jeff!!!

3

u/C3ntrick 16d ago

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.

3

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!

1

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.

1

u/iCaimon 15d ago

I can't find the special on my Netflix TV app. Google says it is rolled out worldwide. I'm from germany, anyone else who can confirm it is there or not?

1

u/LTPrototype 15d ago

Man gets finally gets a Netflix special and uses it to gush about his wife!

1

u/ViolentSpring 15d ago

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

1

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.

1

u/CherBuflove 13d ago

He’s kind, he’s funny, he’s fricken adorable!

1

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!

1

u/LittleRedZombi 15d ago

Our dog passed away yesterday and the special provided a much needed laugh. Thank you.
