10 Best Netflix Comedy Specials Of 2020
10. Tom Segura - Ball Hog
"If you don't know who Big Daddy Kane is you can go..." and we're not allowed to finish that quote, but you know where it was going. After what feels like an age the reigning master of relatable filth has made a come back, and in such glorious fashion.
Tom Segura has gained a reputation for being the comedian who says the kind of stuff you maybe say behind someone's back...but on stage and on TV in front of millions of people. He retains this reputation by opening Ball Hog by telling the audience that he doesn't miss his wife at all whilst on tour, but don't worry, he pretends to on the phone.
Segura has also always had a knack for relaying what should be the most reprehensible of tales and making them entirely relatable, and that's in full force in Ball Hog when Segura details his inability to swear at his mother...so he resorts to psychological warfare instead.
The highlight of the whole show is a story Segura tells regarding his mother never supporting his dreams and his realisation that you should always encourage someone's aspirations...which he puts into practice...in somewhat unconventional fashion...it's graphic. And, in classic Segura fashion, he makes sure to drop a golden age hip hop reference - this time Wu-Tang Clan.
Get this on, as soon as you can, but make sure no children are present because although Wu-Tang is for the children, Ball Hog is not. And if you don't get that reference, you can go...
