An Evening with Tim Heidecker

On the surface, [he’s] an entirely narcissistic bully, and then you can play off some really sad, pathetic qualities in that person.

The material was filmed in Los Angeles in 2017 and had been part of bits that Heidecker workshopped for a decade.

Club's Randall Colburn gave the special an A− for Heidecker's ability to lampoon stand-up specials and reproduce the kind of self-important, boisterous know-it-alls that he has portrayed throughout his career.

[4] Sean L. McCarthy of Decider wrote that the public should skip the special, as "You have to already be fully in on the Tim & Eric experience to even begin to enjoy this, as Heidecker’s schtick here will not win over any new followers.

"[5] Brian Logan of The Guardian gave the stand-up two out of five stars with praise for a few jokes but criticized a lack of variety.
