Thoroughly enjoyed part 1, though he went a little overboard with the kids' critique. Liked the veganism and health bits the most. The bedroom song bit needs work.
Part 2 was awful. His mother goes on a rampage of annoying, self-centred, and manipulative behaviour. She takes over and makes it all about herself, trying to pry into his private life and sneak her way into a family event by sidestepping and overruling his wife. His behaviour is no better, leaving his wife to take the fall for denying his mom's request. Mind you, he also puts his mom down throughout the show. It's so sad to see these things play out like that for other daughters-in-law.
Had it not been for part 2, I would have given it 8 stars, because the stand-up show itself was a blast. But I can't, for the life of me, understand why male comedians keep bringing their moms along in their shows; disgust toward the mom and the mama's boy and pity for the wife doesn't earn you any extra laughs or stars.
