This was my first time to see Dana Carvey as a stand-up comedian.I must say that I found him to be funny. Dana Carvey sure has lots of energy and his material is good and well-thought through. It is nice that he does a mixture of current events and parodies.He is good at delivering the material and he feels very natural on the stage.However, this is hardly the type of show that you will watch a second time around, in my honest opinion. But if you haven't already seen "Dana Carvey: Straight White Male, 60", and if you enjoy stand-up comedy, then you definitely should take the time to sit down and watch it, if you have the chance.

There was a time when I thought Dana Carvey was pretty funny but you couldn't prove it by this stand-up special. He had his moments but the idiosyncratic gestures and repetitious nature of his bits failed to impress for someone who's been on the scene for as long as he has been. At least when he skewered political figures it was fairly even handed, bashing Trump, the Clintons, Bush and Obama with equal abandon. However he did unmask his conservative bent by equating capitalism with the Apple Store, and Socialism as the DMV; that was a pretty apt comparison. And I suppose it comes with one's own demographics, but his taking it to Millennials as a helpless generation found some resonance with this viewer, but it just wasn't that funny. So if I were to advise on a recommendation for a future gig, I'd have to say give it a rest - it just wouldn't be prudent.

I'll be honest, I couldn't finish this. I'm a huge Dana Carvey fan and while his comic timing is still there the material he's working with is garbage. First off, he starts right into the events surrounding the election, and maybe it's because I first saw it months later but I can't imagine people not just being so impossibly sick of hearing about Trump, Hillary, and Bernie. I know I am. And even if that weren't the case, most of that bit had already been heard almost verbatim on his appearances on talk shows over the year. Then, after that, he ostensibly goes into what it's like being a father with teenagers but it's just all the same old stereotypical digs and ripping on millennials... another subject that I (and I imagine/hope many others) am long past sick of hearing about. I just turned it off at that point.This is little more than a stand-up comedy version of the "Old Man Yells at Cloud" joke from the Simpsons, and it's such a shame to hear from someone as talented as Dana Carvey. As someone who still thinks his Critics' Choice show from 20 years ago is still brilliant, this is just depressing to watch.

And some of the jokes seemed all too familiar to my wife and I only very poorly half told. has done some funny things, at least her writing staff has on his show. Like finger bangers! But this format and presentation was a total bomb. Would say watch for its awfulness, but it isn't even worth it for that. STAY AWAY, find something better to do. Weed your lawn, knit a scarf, bake some pastries, stare at the water flushing in your toilet bowl. Anything is better time spent than watching this mish mash of boring raunch.
