Chris Hardwick: Mandroid

Mandroid: for the manic nerdbot within us all
Chris Hardwick is hilarious wherever he shows up be it on The Talking Dead, Chelsea Lately, Attack of the Show (RIP), and, of course, his own stand-up special, which covers a an array of situations anybody who considers themselves geeky will have experienced. LOLed quite a few times as did my friend who was watching it with me. Nerds rule the world and Chris Hardwick is our official jester!

More than a Nerdist to me
As stand-up, Chris Hardwick has all the tools: not merely presence, timing, and physicality, but also an unusual density of material. Mr. Hardwick has a point of view that is relentlessly both warm and analytic that also manages to be heartfelt, puerile, and hysterical all in the same furry bundle. Fans of his book and The Nerdist Podcast will not be disappointed. Fans of the NFL and The Sportist podcast may (may) be less enthusiastic. A flagon of mead should be raised in the name of Squire Hardwick.

The only problem with the DVD is that we had to wait so long for it to be released; I've been waiting by my mailbox since November. And it's been snowing and cold. So cold.

For the nerds
If you enjoyed the comedy duo of Hard N Phirm, then Master Hardwick's solo stand-up is the stuff for you. Anyone that is a fan of the Nerdist will also rejoice with many laughs and wiping away of the tears. Quirky, perspective, and witty. You should probably just go ahead and drop some more of that internet money into Master Hardwick's pockets.
