Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
natasharadanoff I am not a drum player, I am only a huge Fred armisen fan, and I laughed my ass off at this. This a special for the Fred fan, it's quintessential Fred humor and and anyone who likes Portlandia and his bits on Seth Meyers should love this. I don't know why it has 500 bad reviews, I adored it.
danjordan-79510 Thought this was gonna be a brilliant twist on comedy and a specially humoured piece for drummers, which don't get me wrong it was fun for drummers... for about 15 minutes in total... then it was all a bit mixed up really... Going through decades of drumming with the drum-sets in the middle was a let down... although he outlined a cool concept, it was just a little dry for comedy. Tbh I thought he was going to invite audience members to play and do a little maestro bit. Guests were a real buzzkill for me... all the guests came on and did some very damp jokes with FA but none of them were really that funny for punchline humour. He 'bigged' up Thomas Lang and gave him a good intro... and he didn't play drums until the end, WTF! They did some quirky story bit with a script and it was jut cringy really, he's a drummer, and he was announced as an amazing drummer. And only one drum beat was played by him. The three guests came back on stage and did a beat between the four of them all at the same pace. Great! A bit of drumming to end this horror-show! Wrong. Again. Well correct but man oh man did expectations (again) go too far. He shouted each name out and they played solo for about 5 seconds each, but there no fills or bits, just the same beat. I'm a drummer and for me I'd be bursting to do that if you were told to play the same beat over and over and not give those Toms a good seeing to! Overall; A full viewing is not not recommended, for lovers of drums or comedy. Sorry.
marcosalvaradoortiz Fred starts off with a familiar tone that one would expect from him but continues on with lazy joke writing and overdone gags. Many of the "relatable" jokes for drummers seem to be just "You know when..." and "Don't you just hate it when (insert relatable thing for drummers)" All in all one can see he is a talented comedian but his attempt at trying to be niche seem to have failed in my opinion.
bettycjung 2/7/18. I didn't know what to expect from a Fred Armisen standup. Oh, yes, I do in a way. I have watched him for years on SNL. This was like watching him playing Garth (without Kristen Wiig's Kat). Basically, he was all over the place, with occasional funny bits. The only saving grace was when he talked about and played his drums. He is actually quite a good drummer. Nice he had other drummers do their thing, especially Shiela E. So, it's a toss-up. Watch it if you like his humor, or watch it if you like drums.
