I've adored his past specials, have read his book and listened to his podcast. I love how he makes me think and laugh in equal measures, fueled by his imagination and worldy, compassionate perspective. Happy to hear he'll be doing more comedy now.
Overall, this special had some funny moments for me but fell flat compared to his others. One of my favorite bits was ordering Indian food in a Scottish restaurant, and I think some of his best material comes from retelling stories of his own personal experiences.
Enough of the material I'd already heard him speak to before (his German accent for example), so it didn't feel as fresh or engaging. I'm sure now that he's doing his own thing he'll have much more material to work with, and I'll be hear for it and rooting for him.
