With slightly over an hours running time, “Pete Holmes: This Is Not for Everyone,” is a comedy special that will make, if not everybody, the many, laugh. Holmes has a way of cracking jokes at quotidian anecdotes mostly using himself as the subject (and iPhones as analogies), and does what most good comedians do, observe some of life’s absurdities and truths, and bring them to the fore without being too clownish, and simply using his naturalness.

A “staunch” defender of body-positivity…. In his own way. He lists the advantages of having “soft” rather than “hard” trimmed body. Followed by a humorous recount of a devilish gathering in the Midwest, his mother’s misfiring voicemail, the ordeals of growing old, and sitting through unending Youtube video intros.

A “good wholesome pal”, who will simply relay his thoughts in his self-deprecating manner, with a sincerity about mundane things that many will be able to relate to. Without excessive theatrics – there is some, but to a measured extent… he brings us an hour of good laughs, which hey, who does not like that?
