This review is from: Jackie Mason - Freshly Squeezed (DVD)

Contrary to the claim on the box, Jackie's newest is mostly a rehash of old jokes without any comic energy. Early in the show Jackie passes aimless conversation with the audience off as "new" material. Even Jackie becomes frustrated at one point when he asks whether anyone is actually there in the audience. When his rambling fails to capture the audience he pulls material from his Broadway show out of his hat but without any comic energy. In fact, Jackie seems tired or bored throughout the show. Uncharacteristic for Jackie, his show seems unrehearsed and unplanned...as if he was asked to get up and wing it. Don't bother investing in this DVD as the title is misleading and the performance is poor.

This review is from: Jackie Mason - Freshly Squeezed (DVD)

As a fan of Jackie Mason, I have only praise for him. After seeing him Live on Broadway, "freshly squeezed" lived up to my expectations as have all of his shows, which I've attended. However, the DVD does no justice to the performance in NEW YORK.
Who decided to make the taping of the DVD in front of a Canadian audience. You cannot beat a Live New York Audience. The jokes were perfectly excuted, joke after joke. He was on a role, as usual. I didn't have time to stop laughing. Thank God for the therapeutic singing. His Father wanted him to be a Rabbi. I bet he never imagined that he would be singing on Broadway. The jokes were fresh and up to date. If laugther is medicine for the soul, Mr.Mason is my doctor.

2.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful comedian... but not here, December 26, 2005

This review is from: Jackie Mason - Freshly Squeezed (DVD)

Jackie Mason is one of the great stand-ups, but you wouldn't know it from this performance. The production values are almost non-existent: 1 camera at the back of the auditorium which moves in and out of focus, no extras, no music, no features. All this, of course, would be immaterial if the show were magic. But it isn't. He's a little off his game, the audience takes a while to warm up (vehement anti-french gags don't go down well in Canada) and, as everyone else has said, the material is far from '100%' new. This is part of Jacky Mason's charm, and even the new bits feel familiar... it's in his tone, timing and expressions. But all three are off-key in this performance, so this DVD's only for completists. First-timers should look to buy a recording of Mason on Broadway or in the West End, where he always rises to the occasion!
