I came here for a few quick laughs, and some jokes about drumming. Instead there is 20 minutes about the different dialects in America. The stand-up parts were not funny at all, and some of them were so bad I just wanted to turn it off. The only way I would recommend this, is if someone has seen everything on Netflix, except this, and refuses to re-watch Friends or something. I did not enjoy it at all.

Has the brilliant Fred Armisen ever done standup? Don't know. But this misses the mark by a long shot. His character comedy work is some of the best comedy ever. Rarely does a comic get me rolling laughing. But this... The material is weak, the delivery is weak and he took a bit of an elitist tone. Doesn't seem to be his thing but I like that he was trying something new (at least new for me).The observational material about drummers and musicians is adolescent at best or something you might hear from your lame band mates. I found it ironic that he said he didn't get jazz and then did a brilliant bit on regional accents while moving effortlessly across a map of the US, riffing on the subtle differences from area to area, and state to state - which was pure jazz.I think he had fun doing it. If you're a big fan like I am, you're probably going to watch this anyway.

Fred Armisen is a funny guy. I'm not sure who found the patently unfunny lame a$$ Armisen impersonator to perform this show, but that person should be punished. I thought the show couldn't suck any harder after Tres Cool left the stage, but Fake Fred actually did the "drum soundcheck" bit that literally everyone who ever played a gig has parodied only 1,000 times. In case my comments haven't been sufficiently clearly expressed, this was one of the crappiest pieces of entertainment I have EVER consumed - and I once saw a Tom Green movie by mistake.
