The first time I watched this guy, I was BLOWN AWAY because he started talking about one topic but never really finished. He digressed time and time again only to have it come back around to the original story which he finished. Truly mesmerizing. The ability of digression was literally maxed out on him.

I rather liked it when he started one segment with "the hardest part of jury duty" but the audience thought it was the punchline to the previous segment.

He does this thing of deliberately wearing colours that match the background colours of the stage. He does that in each of the netflix specials too. Which I understand goes against one of the main rules of stand-up which is to never blend into the background!
