Eric D'Alessandro | I Don't Understand (Full Comedy Special)

Комедия

In "I Don’t Understand," Eric D’Alessandro delivers his unique New Yorker charm and Italian-American humor to Red Bank New Jersey, in his debut comedy special filmed at the beautiful Vogel at The Count Basie Center of The Arts. This captivating show combines spot-on impressions and sharp wit as Eric humorously navigates topics like growing up Catholic and Italian, challenging stereotypes, and the everyday adventures of living with a woman. Tailored for both longtime fans and newcomers, Eric's mix of personal anecdotes and observational humor makes this special a perfect choice for anyone who loves a hearty laugh at the familiar and funny aspects of life and relationships.

    I didn’t know what to expect from this, but by the end I was laughing non stop. Great special. I appreciate how well he managed to weave in and out of settings, but early on somehow set it up and painted a picture for us so that later when he hopped back into that time and place we were already onboard. I was really impressed with how well he was able to move around from story to story and revisit things then leave them again and come back again, while never really seeming to do so. The whole thing felt very organic ((LIBRULZ)) and natural , everything fit together while nothing was repetitive or trite even though he hit on some tricky stuff from time to time Great song at the end too.

    @carynmartin6053 I saw this explained in a comment and it made sense: Comedians tend to post crowd work clips because it gives a preview of their sense of humor without giving away their act, since they use the same jokes in different shows. It's like a little treat without spoiling the whole event.
