Our take
Netflix stand-up filmed in Seattle. Scovel jokes about a hypothetical home invasion, biblical reenactment, sex references and his late father's final wish. Constant f-words and crude humor sit beside sincere grief material. Strictly for mature viewers.
Uplifting themes
Brief reflection on family and carrying on after loss, amid the raunchy humor
Story (may spoil tone)
With a hypothetical home invasion, a biblical reenactment, and his late dad's final wish, Rory Scovel delivers unrelenting laughs in this raucous stand-up special filmed at The Neptune in Seattle, Washington.
