My review: The idea of watching a comedian building a set from the ground up is truly a beautiful thing to watch. We hear all the time about comedians working smaller shows to fleshnout jokes, but watching the method behind the madness was rather amazing to watch. This shows a side of a comedian we never get to see because we always see the finished product but not the build of each joke. As a fan of standup comedy, I had an amazing time watching this. I highly recommend checking this out.
