Chris Fleming: Live at the Palace

The funniest and most fully realized comedy hour so far this year.

It’s gratifying to see Chris Fleming stay true to the vision he had starting out in stand-up two decades ago and be richly rewarded for it. Strap in and enjoy the ride!

By far, his most accessible work. .... What keeps Fleming’s observational humor from being banal—and shifts it into almost a meta-statement on banal observational comedy—is the oddball physicality that he brings to his act and his ability to extend a bit, through exaggerated pantomime, past the point of logic and into a more heightened and absurdist realm.
