‘Not Safe for Netflix’ is a riotous 50mins of comedy that will gnaw your funny bone to dust and unashamedly snort it off of the cubicle stall toilet. From the moment the curtains draw, Adelaide’s own Clay McMath (Welcome to the Poddy Podcast), Justin Sorre, and Jay Michael dive headfirst into hilarity, navigating through a landscape of unmentionable yet relatable subject matter, with finesse and fearlessness. 

What gives this show a point of difference is its raw, unapologetic but still somewhat bridled approach to comedy, that is often seldom endeavoured by up-and-coming comics. The comedians audaciously confront topics that could easily leave the presuming flushed, delivering punchlines that can cross lines with unassuming wit and craft. From risqué anecdotes to biting social commentary, no focus is off-limits. 

But it’s not all shock value that makes ‘Not Safe for Netflix’ shine; it’s the intellect behind the humour. Amidst the laughter, there’s a subtle layer of societal commentary and sincerity that invites audiences to question the status-quo through the medium of laughter. The vibe in the room is infectious, with each joke assembling upon the last, creating a crescendo of laughter that resonates throughout the venue (The Howling Owl). 

In a world where comedy can sometimes feel watered down for mass consumption, ‘Not Safe for Netflix’ is a refreshing reminder of the power and importance of brazen, unfiltered humour. It’s a must-see for anyone thirsty for a tall glass of comedy that’s as bold as it is brilliant. Catch them up until the 9^th March this Adelaide Fringe Festival.
