Nick Kroll: Little Big Boy

Kroll constructs his set by weaving together childhood humiliation, romantic failure, and bizarre personal anecdotes into a cohesive narrative. He relies on his talent for vocal caricature, most notably for the heckling celebrity in his head, to explore the insecurities that fuel a performer.

What lingers after the laughter subsides is a surprising sense of shared vulnerability. The special succeeds because it finds universal connection in specific, awkward truth. — MovieFinder Editorial
