Trailer Synopsis Cast

The comedian returns for his second Showtime special. While tackling subjects like white guilt, the national anthem and the righteously religious, he simultaneously skewers his own sense of male entitlement. Recorded in Portland, OR, Erik holds a mirror up to his audience's hypocrisies and nudges them into laughter while doing some corrective rejiggering on recently accepted societal norms.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Loved his first comedy special! But he was pathetic in this 2nd attempt. The materiel was not funny, dragged on tooooo long! I get people upset over my sense of humor. But he disrespected the kneeling of the national anthems true meaning! Then all his mimicking of people were all like he was trying to talk like a person of color. His LGBT jokes were tacky also. He just wasnt funny! And got more laughs @ "Goldie's". I give him a 'crate of rotten tomatoes"
