I Watched The First Episode Of NBC’s Bring The Funny On Hulu And It’s Hilarious

Like seriously! Netflix has ALWAYS been my go to for comedy, but Hulu just took it up a notch with NBC’s Bring The Funny! So far there hasn’t been a single person where I was like …*clears throat and puts on my Brooklyn accent* “WACK”. Lol They’re just all incredibly talented and extremely funny comics.

And I absolutely LOVE the fact that this show is set as if it’s in an actual restaurant? (Or maybe it is? Lol)

But whether it is or not, I love that it still creates that feel of being at a comedy show for the audience and for the performers. When the performers look out, they’re not just looking out at rows and rows of unfamiliar faces, they’re looking out at what looks like a legit comedy show audience. People who are sitting at tables with their friends, smiling and probably spitting their drink out everywhere. Lol

If I’ve learned anything from working with kids over the last few years, it’s that your environment REALLY matters! So this small detail definitely makes this show that much better.

But can we talk about these performers? OMG! Lol The first episode is comprised of stand up comics, a magician, sketches, musical comedy, and a “robot” comic? Yeah, it’s a tad off, but it’s good! By the end of the show I was able to easily predict who would move on to the next round. (But only because I’ve picked up on how shows are edited, and I’ve noticed that certain people get more shine than others for a reason. Lol)

Anywho, Bring The Funny is amazing and such a great way for others to really see what else is out there in the comedy world. I’d suggest that everyone who loves comedy check it out.

Cause I’ll be honest, I was NEVER really into sketches! Lol (Hell, when I was younger, I also hated Dave Chappelle, and look at me now! Lol Have y’all read my post about his new Netflix series? Check it out here.) But yeah … I’m a damn 90s baby who grew up on All That and I still hated sketches. Frangela (pictured above) and JK Studios cleared that right up for me though! Their acts were so relatable. (I recently got shushed in the movie theater for talking, so yeah, TOTALLY relatable. Lol)

If you’re thinking, eh this may not be for me because I don’t like (fill in the blank here) … then this IS for you! Even the judges have their own biases and favorite kinds of comedy, yet they still find themselves laughing at what they thought they’d hate.

Here’s A Sneak Peek Of Bring The Funny
