I’ve seen him live and there’s a lot of quiet time. He’s very funny but also very very preachy, it’s not just jokes for laughs. There are long periods of total silence it’s not knee slapping hilarity.
It would not surprise me to learn Netflix pipes in laugh tracks. They give everyone a “special” and some absolutely terrible acts are getting wild applause on awful performances. In reality, those audiences are quiet, groaning, or heckling.
It’s so manufactured that a number of big comedians are now making fun of it. Even Theo Von said on jockos podcast his Netflix “special” had a grand total of 9 people in the audience. Nobody showed up. I haven’t gone to watch his performance but I guarantee since Netflix paid to produce it, they made it sound and look like a rip roarin laugh fest packed to the gates.
