Fusing his musical and stand-up chops, Kenny Sebastian gets analytical about frumpy footwear, flightless birds and his fear of not being funny enough.

source: The Most Interesting Person in the Room by Kenny Sebastian
I usually don't write IMDB reviews since I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to stand up comedy. And I have seen enough Kenny Sebastian shows to like him, I even follow his hour long podcasts. But this show was terrible. The jokes were way below average for a comedian who gets a Netflix special and the delivery was equally bad. None of the jokes landed. I literally switched it off after 10 minutes. It seemed like he probably pulled together the material in a hurry , I expected much better content. I would say don't waste your time, there's way better content out there
The Special is Very well written.. The Best thing about the special is How Kenny take us on a Beautiful Journey of his observations & thoughts..The Best Part is the Flow between the jokes.. all the joke bits r diff from each other but he connects them all together like a Cute story... His Observational jokes are too perfect that makes us laugh a lot coz we have seen/experienced that in our daily lives.. Also, the way he uses Music to entertain audience in middle & Music with jokes is his speciality... His Expressions are main reason which makes it even more interesting.. If u wanna be stress free I will suggest you to watch it.. You will really get a calm soothing & happy feels :):):)
I planned to watch this because I had liked Kenny's earlier stand ups (older ones which I liked more than his later work). But within minutes of starting I realized it's not worth the watch:( the material itself isn't special worthy at all! Nothing much to genuinely laugh about, nothing interesting and it seemed forced, couldn't get why audience were finding it funny?! After first 15 mins or so I just fast forwarded to some later scenes and found it to be no different & so closed it off. Had seen Kannan's latest special when it came last month and though didn't find it as good as his previous special (keep it real, which was one of the best specials of Indian standup), now I feel it was way better than Kenny's! Rated 1 extra star only because his work used to be good and with the hope he doesn't repeat this in future :) Wouldn't recommend watching this, better spend time watching something actually funny :)
It's 2020 and you are entitled comedians like him are still trying to pass on "Harmonium is sadness" & "curriculum of SSC was sadness" as a joke. And that's just first 20 mins of the show. He goes to say stuff like, "guitar is high heels, while harmonium is paragon chappal" And who gets to decide what's what? And who, in their right mind think this is funny? No, it's not Bout indian music vs Western music, although Kenny goes on to make it about the same for a long time.... But my outrage originates from the the point where I think of the renowned and not so renowned classical musicians who gave their life in pursuing a career involving instruments like harmonium only to be ridiculed "harmonium as depression" by the likes of Kenny Sebastian
I've been waiting for this for a very long time. This was totally worth the wait. It was amazing and great. From the start to end it was all up tight and it was such a smooth set. I have already watched it thrice and I will be watching it again anytime now. Everybody should watch this for to know facts of life through jokes. Totally Loved it.
The first 5 minutes into the special and you know, Kenny is all hearts in yet another masterfully written and brilliantly performed special of his. He says, it's better to be remembered than to be interesting. This special though with all nuanced observations and wonderful music that connects the dots is both interesting and will be remembered for long. He is a performer, and even something as simple as drinking water in the middle of long hour of talking is made fun with his antics, thus giving the audience no dull moments. Watch it for the art and the artist both and witness a masterclass on making mundane things interesting enough to bring out them
Don't get me wrong, I love Kenny Sebastian. But man, I tried. And I couldn't. Chappals? Ffs.
Ok.. Where do I start from.. It was a well written, tight knit set.. 1 hour went like 15min but I rewinded a lot of 'em coz they were beyond funny..Back drop was just amaze balls... When u played the guitar, the tone of the light just blended so beautifully well with the kinda tune he played.. Cuddling bit was dammnnnn hilarious.. 😂 And in the end, harmonium along with western beats fused soo beautifully well..
It was an unbelievably and unbearably pathetic show. His jokes were misogynist, body-shaming, elitist and most importantly 'not funny', just morbid.
