Nick Vatterott: Disingenuous is a stand-up comedy film directed by John Asher featuring Nick Vatterott in his first solo special performance. The film takes the audience on an hour-long journey of Vatterott's views and thoughts on various topics such as religion, technology, and awkward social encounters. The special begins with Vatterott wearing a lab coat and holding a beaker. He jokes about how he doesn't know much about science but has a lab coat, making him appear more professional and knowledgeable. He further discusses how he is not comfortable with people having access to his personal information and gets hilariously paranoid about online surveillance.
Vatterott's observational comedy is quirky and surreal, which is evident from the jokes about his love for fruit, and how he has been trying to classify them. He talks about speaking to God and wanting him to respond to his questions. Vatterott goes on to share his experiences of awkward sexual encounters and jokes about how the human body is designed awkwardly.
The stand-up routine keeps the audience engaged with Vatterott's fluid storytelling and his unique delivery style. He doesn't shy away from playing with words and using puns to keep the laughter going, such as referring to religion as a 'worship circle' and computer programs as 'glorified calculators'.
One of Vatterott's strengths in Disingenuous is his ability to think outside of the box and comment on mainstream topics in his unique style. An example of this is his take on technology and how it's designed to keep people engaged, yet he calls it 'monster creation' as people's addiction to technology is almost out of control. He even goes as far as telling the audience not to text while driving and projects a movie that is a comical take on what one would look like while texting and driving.
Vatterott's delivery is so natural that at times it almost feels like he is improvising. He constantly interjects with small comments, making the audience feel like they're having a conversation with him rather than watching a prepared routine. Furthermore, he performs sound effects and actions with his jokes to entice the audience to laugh.
