Didn't laugh once

My wife loves watching this guy on social media. I've never particularly cared for the few short videos that I've overheard while she watched, but I thought that maybe, if he has a stand up special, then surely he'll be funny. Wrong! I didn't laugh once...not even a grin. Kevin's timing is sssslllloooowwww and the pay off is nil. His overuse of the auto tune is really annoying but that's his gimmick. I have no clue how he ever got his own special! He's simply not funny. Do yourself a favor and skip this one, it's painful to watch. And I actually paid $5.99 to watch this? Dude, you owe me $6 and an hour of my life back.

Silly and funny throughout

Thornton's special included funny stories chronologically though his life. He's a TikToker who uses auto-tune and the catchphrase "In the 90s," which he uses just the right amount. He proves to be a capable stand-up with nimble comedic timing and delightful anecdotes. When it comes to whether this is "clean" comedy, I'd say it's cleaner than most. There's not much swearing compared to most stand-ups, but there's descriptions of pornography and sex. He had an uplifting message about being yourself and a few newer terms around sexuality for the audience to ponder. I laughed and smiled and watched all the way to the end.
