Waste of time
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
I had never even heard about Maz Jobrani prior to stumbling upon "Immigrant" and "I'm Not a Terrorist, But I've Played One on TV" on Netflix and decided to give this guy a chance.It turned out that I was in for a treat because Maz Jobrani was hillarious and he had lots of great material. There are plenty of laughs to be had throughout the "Immigrant" show. But it was just a shame that some of the material was re-used from the "I'm Not a Terrorist, But I've Played One on TV" show from 2015.I was thoroughly entertained and amused throughout the entire show, and he has lots of on stage charisma and was good at involving the audience into his material.If you enjoy stand-up comedy then you should definitely take the time to check out "Maz Jobrani: Immigrant" if you haven't already.
This was the first show of Maz Jobrani i have watched and i am pretty sure it was also the last one. He tried very hard to be funny, but failed miserably. His jokes were based on boring stereotypes as well as the usual Trump scandals, which have been discussed to death months ago. Often he only got his laughs after saying "right? right? right?", forcing his audience to whip out the courtesy clap...I had to turn it off half way through and i'd highly recommend you to find entertainment somewhere else...
I was up last night looking at "Recently Added" on Netflix. I noticed that there was a new stand-up by Maz Jobrani. I have seen some of his earlier shows, and my husband has been to one of his live shows. Let me tell you I did expect to laugh but I didn't think I'd have tears in my eyes! I generally enjoy stand-up comedy but this show was a non-stop belly laugh ride... to the point that I could hardly breathe at times between the laughs...Of course there was way more than just comedy to Maz's show. I truly enjoyed it and would watch it again and again. He talks about life in present-day America as a husband, a father and an immigrant.I found truth in this show, as well as irony, hope and of course comedy! He brings everyone together in this show, including non-immigrants.If you have Netflix, don't miss this!
