Snoop Dogg's F*cn Around Comedy Special

Snoop Dogg hosts this loose variety-comedy showcase from a side-stage couch, smoking blunts and sipping Red Bull from a chalice while passing the mic to a lineup of veteran Black comedians. Instead of a traditional stand-up hour, the show feels more like a late-night green room hangout where the host performs brief musical snippets between introducing his friends. After each set, the performing comic heads over to the couch to join Snoop for a smoke and some unstructured banter, making the chemistry between the performers the main event.\n\nFilmed at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles as part of the 2022 Netflix Is a Joke festival, the special caught Snoop in a massive year, just months after his Super Bowl halftime show and his acquisition of Death Row Records. The comedy lineup features short sets from Katt Williams, Mike Epps, DeRay Davis, Melanie Comarcho, Guy Torry, and Donnell Rawlings. Given the May 2022 taping date, many of the comics take aim at the recent Will Smith Oscar slap, with Williams pacing the stage to demonstrate how he would flee a potential attacker.\n\nOther notable moments include Williams reminiscing about his first time meeting Snoop when he wasn’t yet famous, and Rawlings performing a vocal rendition of Silk Sonic’s ‘Smoking Out the Window’. The brief sets meant some performers struggled to establish their usual rhythm, though the casual banter between sets offset the rushed pacing.
