D.J. Demers: Born in '86 is a fascinating dive into the life of a comedian navigating his deafness during the pandemic. It’s conversational and relatable, mixing personal anecdotes with broader themes like sports and language. The pacing feels natural, with a comfortable flow maintained by the presence of ASL interpreter Caroline Blaike, who adds a unique layer to the performance. The humor, while at times reflective, often shifts to uproarious moments that keep you engaged. There's something refreshing about Demers' approach, particularly his take on the 'educational power of Scrabble'—who knew word games could be so profound? The way he blends personal struggle with light-hearted commentary is what sets this special apart.
