Editorial Reviews

With his unique brand of youthful storytelling Donald Glover brings down the house in his hysterical stand-up special Weirdo. Filmed at the Union Square Theatre in New York City, Glover invites the audience into his life, sharing everything from childhood tales about his unrequited love for Cocoa Puffs and trips to Home Depot to observations on 'getting famous', relationships, the N word and why kids are awful people. Smart and hip with a fresh approach to comedy, Donald presents a solid hour of his hilariously original wisecracking humor. DVD Extras: Taxi Cab Interview With Donald Glover, 'Weirdo in NYC'

5.0 out of 5 stars A TV Star And Rapper, Glover Also Proves To Be An Immensely Likable Comedian April 2, 2012

By K. Harris HALL OF FAMETOP 10 REVIEWER

Format:DVD

"Community" star and rapper Childish Gambino's alter ego Donald Glover returns to his adopted city of New York for his first stand-up DVD special courtesy of Comedy Central. Shot before an enthusiastic crowd at Union Square Theater, Glover has such an easy and laid-back charm that it's hard not to instantly engage with his material. Glover has branded himself a "Weirdo" with the concert's title, but he is far from it. While some of his funniest bits play out absurdly, most of his stories and jokes are quite identifiable. Many tales from his childhood are both ridiculous AND universal, and you'll find yourself nodding knowingly and laughing at the same time.

Topics include the music world, foster care, appropriating language and a fateful trip to Home Depot. This is not a performance for Glover's typical television fans, this is an adult set with all the expected language and edgy source material. It's not the raciest set I've ever seen, but I thought I'd shout out to more sensitive viewers who might anticipate some extension of Community's Troy. Instead, this is Glover being Glover. And if this is any indication, I think we can expect to see big things from this talented performer.

In addition to the 65 minute concert performance, the DVD has a couple of nice bonus features for Glover fans. Originally from Atlanta, he does seem to love NYC. In the additional 40 minutes of extra features, we get a pretty engaging interview and a brief tour around the streets. These segments have their amusing moments, but they play out far more as personal extras that they do as comedic. I appreciated this added insight into the likable Glover! 4 to 4 1/2 Stars for the conert, I'll bump it up for the personal extras. KGHarris, 4/12.

5.0 out of 5 stars Donald Glover is gonna be HUGE! March 8, 2012

By Molly Flanigold

Format:DVD

I can't believe I'm only discovering Donald Glover. I watched this special 3 times in 2 days and laughed my butt off every time. My only complaint about this video is that it's over waaay too soon. His jokes are more like personal stories you're hearing from your funniest friend. This guy is just so damn likeable. Watch this!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious August 1, 2012

Donald Glover is hands down my favorite comedian! It's very easy to relate to his jokes or just laugh regardless because he presents them so well! Yes this is "Troy" but no this is not the same "safe" comedy so be ready lol
