For all of his success as one of Hollywood's biggest comedy stars, Adam Sandler knows that TV studios and movie sets can't compare with the special space he creates with live audiences. The intimacy and energy he generates onstage was abundantly clear in 100% Fresh, the 2018 Netflix special that garnered some of the most enthusiastic reviews in Sandler's career.
"Sandler is clearly having fun," said USA Today. "His spirit flows out of the special and it reminds you of the Sandler we all used to love." The New York Times also praised this exuberant showcase of the "loopy, lewd sense of humor that often spins into the absurd" and "the kind of delirious physical and vocal silliness that makes him the modern inheritor of the legacy of Jerry Lewis." A new tour that promises additional material and more of the parody songs that the Washington Post says "can't help but worm their way into your head," 100% Fresher is the latest sign of Sandler's renaissance as a live performer.
The charm and inventiveness Sandler displays as a stand-up will be no surprise to audiences who discovered him through Saturday Night Live characters like Opera Man and albums like his 1993 debut They're All Gonna Laugh at You. Nevertheless, Sandler's phenomenal success as a movie star - his films have amassed more than $4 billion worldwide - meant less time in front of live audiences.
That changed in 2016, when he set off on the road for The Do-Over Tour, which featured Sandler performing alongside his friends and fellow funnymen David Spade, Rob Schneider, and Nick Swardson. The pals had such a good time, they followed up with Here Comes the Funny in 2017. In early 2018, Sandler performed a special set of solo shows in such iconic venues as Comic Strip Live in New York, the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles, and the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. The highlights can be seen in 100% Fresh, Sandler's first comedy special since 1996.
100% Fresher presents Sandler at his casual, self-deprecating best. Expect hilarious stories of marriage and parenthood along with loopier routines and a touching tribute to the late Chris Farley. There also are his short, surreal songs about foul-smelling Uber drivers, Bar Mitzvahs, and many more topics that allow Sandler to demonstrate his mastery of musical parody.
