Maz Jobrani: I Come In Peace
L**D
Decent hour of comedy with international appeal
Pretty funny.Overall he's not quite at the top of the stand up comedy world, but he has a fairly good grasp on international comedy. His routine will play well to an international audience with an open mind.It can be a little slow at times and he spends a bit of set up on getting to know the audience so for someone without patience it can drag a bit at the beginning. But overall he hits on some universal humor and ends in a really positive place.I'm not sure this is the kind of comedy show I'd bother to watch again as the overall themes are not particularly unique enough to demand additional viewings, but once through was a decent hour of laughs. (note the show is an hour and 15, there's about 15 minutes of banter that kind of drags here and there, hence the 4 instead of 5 stars).Anyway, I enjoyed it, but it was free (Amazon Prime) and it's not something I'd probably bother to buy as I don't see much rewatch value in it.

Comedy Master
It's not just his material, which freakin' original, clever, and hilarious, it's his timing. Sooo perfect. That and the way he masters so many accents -- Persian, Arab, Jewish, American, Mexican, Russian, Indian, African, Swedish, you name it. Definitely a comedy all-star. And he does it with a minimum of profanity. Not that I'm a prude, because I definitely appreciate that a judicious amount of profanity can heighten the humor. But these modern comedians who sprinkle the F-bomb and various other no-no's every other word strike me as just plain lazy. Instead of clever material, they give us the equivalent of a couple of kids hiding behind the garage saying "tee tee" and "doo doo" and giggling at themselves. Laughs on the cheap. If you're going to give me profanity, fine. But give it to me in material that's at least funny for some quality other than saying verboten words. Anybody can do that. Doesn't make one a legitimately funny or original comedian. Maz Jobrani is a legitimately funny, clever, and original comedian.

My Friend...Maz Is Hilarious...Trust Me. :)
Maz Jobrani is absolutely hilarious!!! He interacts with his audience and isn't afraid to laugh at himself, or anyone else. He breaks down barriers and just has fun with his audience. His smile is inviting and his material is engaging. Maz knows how to tickle your funny bone with clean, sharp witted humor, and I recommend EVERYONE watch it at least once, but be forewarned.....he's addicting! Personally, I can't wait for his next special......because it's gonna be a hoot!!! Thanks, Maz, for sharing what goes on in the crazy brain of yours. :D

Quite Amusing
From humor about family to the discussing the customs of various Middle Easternn countries, all very amusing. We may be black, white or other, foreign-born but raised in the U.S.; however, we are essentially all the same. I think that's why we can all laugh together.

Now this is funny
I related on all levels and his deliverance is smooth, content is insightful and honest, and I turned on stand-up comedy to wash dishes. Dishes never got done because I kept edging my way back to the screen to listen better. It's been a very long time since I laughed for so long and stayed engaged through whole show. Usually OCD gets in the way of watching a whole anything!

Really Fun to Watch
As a multiculturalist, I really like how he compares different cultures. So much of his material leaves me in stitches. The only thing that detracted is that I watch so many of his youtube clips that I already knew a number of the jokes. But otherwise, this was really good.Some of his impromptu humor is every bit as good as his planned jokes though. I like how he tries to set up a rapport with his audience as well.

He is very funny and does a great job On pointing out the stereotypes against immigrants . He makes interesting observations during his travels around the world especially the Middle East. He encourages people to travel to the Middle East to learn more about people there to break down the misconceptions that exist.

Totally hilarious!
I was a bit depressed, so decided to stop thinking and treat myself to something pleasantly distracting. Maz was the perfect solution! I had seen him perform in NYC before, but now he has some new material which made me laugh so hard... hadn't laughed like that in months!! He is a funny comedian, and I like his personality as well. Totally recommend watching this :-)
