SXSW Comedy with W. Kamau Bell (TV Special 2015). 2h 38m | TV-MA

“I was so happy to see a program like this come back around and give comedy some well deserved attention and make the experience so pretty and dynamic once again. As much as I love the solo headliner hours thereu0026#39;s something really spectacular about getting the morsels and tight sets from a spread of comics that all feed off each otheru0026#39;s material, like Beth Stelling and Mark Normandu0026#39;s little trade off in this that was such a great call back to me! The flow makes it feel so engaging and the level of care that was put into it was so reassuring to see as a die hard comedy nerd. Iu0026#39;m tired of the same stale, stationary cameras that donu0026#39;t really make watching the performance feel as engaging as it can be and the cutaways are a nice touch to show off the peculiarities of the festival. This held my attention a lot better than most other specials. It feels like the format of specials are maturing with this new comedy boom right now and Iu0026#39;m glad to see the showcase format being a part of that.”
