Ryan Hamilton is one of those self-deprecating comedians who seems to take glee in poking fun at his physical appearance. Take a good look at his bio page on IMDb and you'll see what I mean. It's almost as if his face is permanently contorted into that sly grin, making him an unwelcome attendee at a funeral, something he actually addresses in his routine. In this stand up special, Hamilton has some insightful remarks about his experiences in New York City, Trump's election, hot air balloons and sky diving, a rather disparate list of topics. To his credit, he doesn't unnerve one's political sensitivities with his remarks, although he mentions that he once offended a couple who were avid balloonists who took his monologue seriously. Personally, I'm glad I grew up during a time when a comedian could poke fun at something without audience members taking offense. I guess I just like to laugh.

I enjoyed this

The contents of this show were very different from the usual standup i've watched, in a good way. It was not ROFL through the entire hour, but it was enjoyable nevertheless. Ryan wasn't loud, no stereotypical sex jokes, no easy jokes that you would people laugh by default. Would surely watch his Netflix special and would recommend this one to others as well.
Highly enjoyable

Very good Netflix special. Ryan Hamilton has an observational style in the same vein as Jerry Seinfeld albeit with quite a quirkiness about him. He has a likeable persona and very good delivery while tackling the tough edgy subjects (heh-heh) like Idaho, Disney World, and hot air balloons.
And I will say it's also refreshing to find a rare comedian that doesn't feel the need to use constant foul language or vulgar subject matter. He doesn't come off as a goofy "family" comic per se, but feel free to watch it with the kids around. I hope to see more from him!

This is one of the most underrated comedy specials-- in a world where most comedians rely on politics and/or raunchy shock value, Ryan Hamilton is breath of fresh air. This stand up special is relatable and hilarious, yet clean enough to watch with your grandma. 10/10
Hilarious
