More Than Funny

About This Movie

More Than Funny, despite its somewhat generic title, showcases Michael Jr.'s unique comedic style that blends storytelling with observational humor. The pacing feels natural, almost like you’re having a chat with a friend rather than watching a set. There's a warmth in the atmosphere that draws you in, and Michael's distinct approach to humor—a mix of personal anecdotes and insightful commentary—gives it a thoughtful edge. While it's a straightforward comedy special, the way he connects with the audience feels genuine, and it stands out in the sea of stand-up because of that. Plus, the practical effects are minimal, yet they serve to enhance the comedic timing rather than distract from it.

More Than Funny came out in 2018, but the special's roots trace back to Michael Jr.'s performances leading up to it. It’s relatively scarce on physical format, which could pique collector interest, especially among fans of stand-up comedy. The limited distribution has made it a bit of a hidden gem for those who appreciate a more personal touch in comedy specials.
