and was kind of disappointed. I love his thoughts and politics and have seen has various shows on HBO and Youtube over the years. But his live show was...kind of boring. Lots of schtick, blubbering, umming and ahhhing. But it didn't have that bitting content like I've always seen before. Anyone else experience this or is it just me?

(5,524 posts)The whole "I'm constantly angry" thing is too gimmicky. He's just okay, but probably annoying when listened to for a long time.

(34,845 posts)In the others he does seem to fall flat to me. He's been doing this for a long time and maybe he's wearing it out?
