Drew Hastings – Irked & Miffed (DVD-Video + CD/Image Entertainment)

 

Picture: C+     Sound/both formats: B-     Extras: D     Concert: C

 

 

I had never heard of Drew Hastings, but here he is in his own concert on CD and DVD entitled Irked & Miffed as both issued by Image Entertainment.  Running 63 minutes, I expected what I get from most comics, smiles but no real laughs.  Sometimes, it is worse and they are both talentless and predictable.  In this case, for the first time in a while, Hastings comes up with some good ideas, but over and over cannot get the most out of them.

 

To his advantage, he has some self-deprecating humor about his age and it is smart.  I even nearly laughed at some points, but I would like to see where he’ll be in a few years.  In that time, it will truly be make or break, but if he can grow, he could be a big name in the future.  In the meantime, it might be worth your time to catch him now just to see what you think at this stage.

 

The 1.33 X 1 image is colorful and consistent, but has detail issues, while the PCM 16/44.1 2.0 Stereo on the CD and Dolby Digital 5.1 & 2.0 Stereo mixes on the DVD show their sonic limits in some compression and lack of overall fidelity.  There are no extras.
