    Angry Boys showcases his considerable talents in the notably imperfect world he's created.

    The mixing of those elements--crassness, poignancy, social commentary--is a hard one to master, and Lilley doesn't always succeed in tying them together in a way that is funny beyond the amusing cringe of recognition.

    The expansion emphasizes the sameness of his writing and his performances, and makes the payoffs of the jokes feel small.

    Chris Lilley has accomplished the impossible.This show encompasses talents much like Chappelle's Show, just when we thought it couldn't be done again.
