Last year Judah's 84-minute stand-up comedy performance film, America Is the Greatest Country In the United States, debuted on Netflix to rave reviews from across the globe. Through Judah's unique persona, style, one-liners, elaborate jokes and crowd work, he satirises the United States - specifically satirising: the blind narcissism of American exceptionalism; US domestic and foreign policy; and America's response to all the major human rights issues of the day. In this stand-up comedy show, he covers a lot of the same issues plus different ones, but with all-new jokes.
