Such low-energy approach can give the false impression that he isn't firing on all cylinders, but, it actually shows a quiet confidence in his distinctive, if still-developing material.
It takes a while to adjust to his pace, but ultimately it’s very beguiling. The set is not always hilarious, but there is a neatness, originality and maturity to his sophisticated writing, rich with esoteric references which takes his routine in genuinely unexpected directions. ‘Classy’ would about cover it.
