This was my first time to see Dana Carvey as a stand-up comedian.
I must say that I found him to be funny. Dana Carvey sure has lots of energy and his material is good and well-thought through. It is nice that he does a mixture of current events and parodies.
He is good at delivering the material and he feels very natural on the stage.
However, this is hardly the type of show that you will watch a second time around, in my honest opinion. But if you haven't already seen "Dana Carvey: Straight White Male, 60", and if you enjoy stand-up comedy, then you definitely should take the time to sit down and watch it, if you have the chance.

Movie Reviews
An enjoyable show from Dana Carvey...
One of my favourite comedy specials
I must say I'm surprised by the negativity of the other reviews here. I found this to be a delight. When he started on trump I did think, Oh no this is going to be rubbish, but his take is just delightfully silly. Literally the only funny trump bit I've ever heard.
I've watched it several times. It's that good. Possibly my favourite comedy special ever.
Extremely laboured, bad impression comedy
Starting with possible one of the worst cold opens I've ever seen in a standup show, Dana Carvey launches directly into impressions of political figures. While he did at least ridicule all sides of the political spectrum in equal measure, he very much played the "here's what you want to hear" card.
Impression comedy can be great in small doses, but a standup routine so littered with them, especially when they're bad, can be painful to watch. His transitions between bits bordered on the quality of his open. It seems he just wrote a list of a dozen people he can do a mediocre impression of and went through them in sequence with no adjoining material.
The general sentiment from other reviewers seems to be that Dana has other strong material, and this was just one of his bad days. In that case, you may find it worth a watch. But if this is your first time encountering Dana, I'd recommend avoiding this special.
