  • Mostly great/not a fan of suicide jokes

    Very funny show! Unfortunately, there were some jokes about suicide that pushed me away. That is mainly a reflection of my own sensitivity, as the subject of suicide has been very painful for me personally. This is really a rating of the comedy genre: It’s all fun and games until the comedian is joking for you to kill your self.

Often fun... more
