One last time
deloudelouvain18 April 2023
I guess it was Final Destination after all for Robert Schimmel. After successfully fighting cancer for years he died after this release. Glad I watched his show, it was entertaining. He clearly enjoyed his last and final performance, and of the reaction of the audience, when it was all about his battle, and that's good for him. A well brought stand-up comedy with good jokes, lesser dirty than usual, but thet still gives you a good constant grin on your face. He knows how to talk to an audience, how to bring a joke you don't expect. I'm glad he enjoyed bringing his jokes one more time, that's what it's all about.

Second Feature-Length Special Sees a More Mature Schimmel
MassDistraction16 March 2014
Robert Schimmel's big comeback special after years of fighting cancer and various other serious medical ailments. His style has changed a little bit over the years, with Schimmel varying up his material compared to his earlier work and using his health challenges for inspiration. The result is a more mature and engaging experience that helps the audience connect with him in a way his more vulgar work never really did. Things go a bit astray when he begins a snapshot slideshow, but one supposes he can be forgiven given what he's been through. Sadly, this would be his last special as he died in a car accident shortly after this was released.
