Michael Che Matters

Michael Che Matters (2016) is a stand-up special you can watch online on iFILM, filmed live in Brooklyn. Che — Weekend Update co-anchor on Saturday Night Live — spends sixty minutes on the topics most comedians prefer to leave alone: income inequality, homophobia, and gentrification.

The delivery is unhurried and the material has edges. Directed by Oz Rodriguez, the set captures the feel of a real room, not a polished TV production. It's the kind of hour where you laugh, then sit with what you just laughed at. Stream Michael Che Matters online on iFILM.
