Tom Segura: Completely Normal (EOTWS)

End Of The Week Shorts #30.1 extract: Tome Segura: Completely Normal (2014)



Whilst this is not the kind of comedy that has you rolling around in fits of laughter, this works very well. 
The laughs came consistently. There were a few bumps in the hour, but every moment had me amused and smiling. This is all because of Segura's relaxed stage presence. There's no screaming, arms flailing, shouting, imitations or act-outs; Tom pretty much just talks about the T.V he watches, the terrible state of his body and the hotels he stays in. None of this could work if he didn't seem comfortable with, and in control of, his style. Moreover, without much expression from the camera work, but with great support from the focused editing (which doesn't contain shots of the crowd - something I've always hated), Completely Normal stays true to its title and performer in the best way possible. 
Subdued, yet solid, this is worth the watch.
