Jerrod Carmichael’s latest comedy special, “Don’t Be Gay,” is a raw and honest reflection on his journey since coming out publicly in his Emmy-winning special, “Rothaniel.” The 38-year-old comedian takes the stage at the Marjorie S. Deane Little Theater in New York City, dressed in a simple white tank top and jeans, exuding a newfound confidence.

The special opens with Carmichael discussing his experience allowing cameras to document his life in the unscripted series, “Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show.” He delves into his struggles with internalized homophobia, infidelity, and seeking approval from the Black community. The backlash to his interracial relationship and a viral moment involving a hookup pushed him to seek therapy, confronting his deep-seated issues head-on.

Throughout the 53-minute special, Carmichael effortlessly weaves between humor and darker themes. He touches on topics like child funerals, graphic sexual acts, and the challenges of navigating his relationship with his partner, Michael. Despite the uncomfortable moments, Carmichael’s self-awareness shines through, showcasing his growth and acceptance of his true self.

As he delves into his upbringing in North Carolina, his hyper-religious mother, and the complexities of being gay in a society that often rejects authenticity, Carmichael’s storytelling shines. He explores his struggles with monogamy, his evolving relationship with his family, and the societal pressures that have hindered his journey to self-acceptance.

Directed by Ari Katcher, “Don’t Be Gay” is a blend of laugh-out-loud moments and poignant reflections on identity, love, and self-discovery. Carmichael’s comedic prowess and vulnerability make for a compelling and relatable viewing experience.

In this follow-up to “Rothaniel,” Carmichael exudes a newfound sense of liberation and confidence. He embraces his truth, sharing his personal struggles and societal challenges with humor and grace. The special is a testament to Carmichael’s growth as a comedian and storyteller, showcasing his ability to confront his fears and stand authentically in his truth.
