Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) Jan 2
3.5/5
Sometimes, the dialogue he recounts has a sitcom banter to it, but the laughs have a genuine persistence. Go to Full Review Amber Dowling Globe and Mail Dec 20
It’s an honest and chuckle-worthy hour full of signature Nanjiani humour and deadpan delivery. Go to Full Review Kathryn VanArendonk New York Magazine/Vulture Dec 19
By the time it gets there, Night Thoughts has earned that sincerity and Nanjiani has successfully reminded everyone why he’s on the stage at all: Oh right. He was a comedian first. Go to Full Review Sean L. McCarthy Decider Dec 23
Unlike those big-name actors who have fallen into stand-up as a lark and/or a money grab when they stopped booking acting gigs, Nanjiani is both working hard onscreen and still quite skilled as a stand-up. He hasn’t lost a step. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

matthias s @Thescreenasvor Jan 14 Kumail Nanjiani: Night Thoughts earns a solid three stars. As always, Kumail is likable and sharp, delivering smart observational comedy with warmth and polish. The laughs are consistent, but the material plays it safe, rarely surprising. Fans will enjoy it, newcomers may want more edge. See more Omniah G @oGrace Jan 12 I’ve watched this three times with different people in my family, and it’s been a hit every time! The humor is so intelligent and the delivery is flawless. Best comedy special I’ve seen - hands down. 🤣 See more Neera B. @hellomynameisneera Dec 30 I was laughing with my husband throughout the whole thing. Worth the watch, and wholesome humor. Life is funny, and Kumail reminds us. See more Judy N @Coastal104 Dec 25 Funny, empathetic and deeply kind. Just wonderful. See more Kerri M @Keewi Dec 23 I really, really enjoyed this comedy special. It was incredibly funny, clever, and touching. It left me feeling positive about the world. See more Spicy B Dec 21 Laugh out loud gold beginning to end, while poignantly moving and sincere. An absolute must watch. Even if he didn't still have the superman muscles! See more Read all reviews
