JEFF ARCARO: NICE TO MEET YOU is a funny stand-up comedy special that made me laugh out loud while watching. I had no idea going in how much I would enjoy Arcaro’s sense of humor. It was totally non-political and focused on subjects most people could relate to, while offering pure escapism.
Arcaro’s style is to invite members of the audience who surround the stage to participate in his routine by answering questions about their lives. It was like having conversations with people you don’t know yet really do, simply because we all are more alike than different. There was a bunch of ad-libbing, yet it felt very much connected to where Arcaro wanted us to go. His schtick was tight, smart, and refreshing. He bounced around from all sorts of angles involving family, relationships, labeling people, how we meet our mates, and even cancer. It was very smoothly done and seemed authentic and effortless.
JEFF ARCARO: NICE TO MEET YOU was an enjoyable and entertaining hour. He surprised me. I was smitten by his giggling, his facial expressions, and his ease in performing at a sold-out, large venue in Phoenix, Arizona. For me, it was an hour well-spent.
It is streaming on Netflix.
