Aziz Ansari: Right Now

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Aziz Ansari balances sharp social commentary with just enough earnest introspection to craft a special that, while not without its baggage, shows how far the comedian has come - and how far he may still have to go.

Ashlie D. Stevens Salon.com [I]n watching "Right Now," Ansari appears to be recognizing the need for growth - not just his own, but the culture at large's as well. Mar 18, 2020 Full Review Joel Golby Guardian It's not the Aziz of old - I mean how much mileage was really left in renaming foodstuffs and publicly bullying his cousin? - but the quieter, more contrite Ansari 2.0 still has plenty left to say. Mar 18, 2020 Full Review Wenlei Ma News.com.au His show is funny and insightful, but it's also emotional. It's enough to make you forgive him for his sins. Aug 6, 2019 Full Review M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut [Spike Jonze] is clearly interested in how a man rebirths himself into the court of public opinion. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 20, 2022 Full Review Robert Ham The Stranger (Seattle, WA) [W]hat [Ansari] does instead is let himself off the hook without extending the same courtesy to the rest of his audience. Mar 18, 2020 Full Review Alison de Souza The Straits Times (Singapore) There is plenty of crowd-pleasing stuff - bits about trying to explain racism in America to his white Danish girlfriend as well as topics he has addressed before, like the unfair burden of contraception placed on women. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 25, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Very intelligent and funny. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Aziz is one of those comedians who is good in shows and cameos in movies... But his stand up is not that funny, it leaves a lot to be desired... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member So much funnier than expected. The way he worked the people in the crowd into his routine was outstanding. Must watch. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review andrei d Azis Ansari needs funnier material Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member AZIZ STAYS KING IN HIS THING. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member I had given him 5 stars with the way he started the show. But the closure left me speechless. But that's how he meant it to be. Take a bow!
