Aziz Ansari: Here and Now

[+ E.T.Bass]

A while back I watched. Aziz Ansari: Live at Madison Square Garden and loved it. At the end of the show he did something that perhaps no one else would ever do which said a lot to me about a side of the man to admire, even though it may have seemed cornball to some.

 

Then later came the #MeToo claim. I had a hard time believing this was a guy capable of really bad behavior. I decided not to get spun up by it, and just hoped for a just resolution.

 

I watched his latest last night Aziz Ansari: Here and Now directed by Spike Jonze. He starts with some housekeeping about the aforementioned challenge and goes on to cover lots of current topics. Loved it. Lot of funny sh!t. Not surprised.

I enjoyed it, but he whispered in hushed tones thru much of the set. I turned on closed-caption because I had the volume turned way up and could not make out a lot of what he was saying.

 

Was it for effect? Peggy Lee playbook? I can't imagine being in the audience and hearing him.

Made me wonder too why the low tones...

I expect Spike Jonze drove the dynamics of the show.

I must have had my volume cranked. I am usually the first to complain about sound.
