Wootton dips as far into darkness as even Baron Cohen, but instead of merely relying on cursing and butt thongs to create comic gold, Wootton crafts a well-thought-out narrative and puts a few props in place before he meets his real-life characters.
-
While Wootton's alter egos--a criminally inept (emphasis on criminal) psychic, a struggling actor, and a scruffy documentarian wannabe, all new to Los Angeles--have hilarious moments, they don't show any layers beyond idiocy.
-
A week between each episode is highly recommended. But in small doses, his shamelessness, persistence, and humor are remarkable.
-
While he doesn’t often inspire the helpless laughter that “Borat” or “Da Ali G Show” provoke, his quieter, more slowly building situations can have their own devastating payoffs.
