Unusual comedian, reminds me of Dave Chappele - discusses hot-button issues without shrillness

I like his style. seems genuine. I don't agree with some of his values and I think neither does he. it is a show afterall. but the way he puts it not only give you a laugh, he makes you sympathize with his some what twisted justification which i think is comedy gold.

What links all of this together is Carmichael's patient delivery -- he speaks softly, slowly, drawing the audience into a conversation that's consistently funny without having much in the way of jokes.

The Daily Dot

8 is an amusing hour of standup with occasional moments of transcendence. There are a lot of laughs to be had, but not enough philosophy that lingers with you after the credits roll.

Decider

Onstage by himself in a comedy club or a theater, Carmichael raises the questions without easy answers or sometimes any answers. Instead, he forces you to confront your own philosophy.
