Anthony Jeselnik: Fire in the Maternity Ward
Forging his own comedic boundaries, Anthony Jeselnik revels in getting away with saying things others can't in this stand-up special shot in New York.
Critics Sentiment
Jeselnik delivers his signature misdirection style jokes
The last extended joke runs too long without payoff
The special peaks early with his signature misdirection style, then gradually declines as the formula becomes predictable and repetitive
Jeselnik's third special showcases his trademark dark humor and perfect delivery, but suffers from over-reliance on familiar formulas. While reviewers praised his unique comedic voice and willingness to cross lines, many felt disappointed by the predictable misdirection structure and extremely slow pacing. The consensus suggests solid craftsmanship diminished by a lack of creative evolution.
