I know many who would not manage this. It is literally in-your-face. It is raw, mad, provocative, ugly and very, hideously familiar. The audience is not let off. The few audience members who end up on stage are put through the ringer and it is bad. Very bad. Inappropriately bad. Unforgivably bad. And yet, the whole issue of consent is dealt with right at the beginning. Nobody knows what they have signed up for, Nate is a loose canon and anything that can happen does.
Funny thing is, at the end I cried. I cried properly. I cried for men and women and myself. I cried for Natalie Palmides and for Nate and for the whole audience. Because even when this stuff is laugh-out-loud funny, it tears you to pieces, and reminds you how deep the mess we are in really is.
Don't say I didn't warn you, but Nate is compulsory viewing.

Compulsory sit down tragedy
Brave AF and hilarious
You almost never see women-the gender that is raised from birth to please and appease-who are this willing to confront an audience, and mess with them and their expectations. I've never seen a more fearless performer in my life in terms of what she's willing to show of herself (himself?) and how she's willing to challenge the audience and wait politely but authoritatively till they show up for her. You absolutely never know what's going to happen, and when's the last time ANY show was like that? Next-level performing.
Enjoyable And Funny
I can see why some people don't like this special. Those people probably expected a standard stand-up special but this is so much more. If your a fan of improve and don't mind being uncomfortable at times(that's the point people) then you will most likely enjoy this. I personally found it to be hilarious.
