Not the taping but just one of the nights. Felt like the timing was much better in person. That he was real relaxed and paced where the special looked like joke after joke. There were also moments in the bird revelation that were in the dc show that didn't make the cut which may be why it seems like the timing was off.

An example was early in the show where he's talking about how dope he is. At our showing he started a conversation with a 16 year old, transitioned from how he started off in clubs, to the rough clubs in Brooklyn, and then did the rape joke, but at a much better speed. It really built up.

I enjoyed the bird revelation. It seemed more stream of consciousness than trying things out. Some of it was old. Some of it was very new. And some of the old stuff hit better. Take his deliberate way he told the iceberg slim story in 2017 versus how frantic and energetic he told it in 2005. Was it the venue was it the years was it a call back? Either way it's a different story.
