Taylor Tomlinson: Look at You

I'm a lot older than Taylor and I think she is a riot! She has women's issues down pat - no matter the age or race. She's just funny - and she has a great way of looking at life and the life of women.

Thank you, Taylor!

There's this stereotype that females are not good at stand-up.

Also lately other female comics become intensionally vulgar for no reason. Maybe to be taken as edgy and progressive , i guess. I dont know whats with that! ( yeah Im looking at you Wong)

But, I know Taylor is a hell of a good Comedian and she proved it for a second time on Netflix. She doesn't get vulgar if it's not beneficial for the story. She touches on some important issues in a funny and original way by connecting the whole material together and it works.

It does get a bit dark at times but she's a master at relieving the pressure and bring you right back up.

As a male watching this special of course Im not gonna get 100% of it and sure I'm not gonna be happy to hear an opposite POV that doesn't put my sex in the best light. That doesn't mean the stand up is bad. It means you get offended too easily.

I saw her original stand up on Netflix about a year or two ago and liked it, but it wasn't amazing. I thought this one showed so much growth for her as a comedian and in her confidence. She has great timing and the jokes toe the line between upbeat and serious commentary, without bringing the mood down. I'm excited to see what else she does going forward!

Taylor Tomlinson's first special was one of my favourites of the last few years, and this second one is even better. Watching standup is usually such a passive viewing experience because it's hard to get into it when you've seen so many specials, but something about Tomlinson's standup is really engaging.

This is a very consistent hour of standup that touches on serious and dark subject matter without ever sacrificing the comedy. There's plenty of standup with serious sections that I like, but Tomlinson handles the heavy stuff in a way where no matter how dark it gets, it still remains funny, also while treating the subject matter tastefully and with respect.

Kind of a masterful balancing act, and even people who might not find her style of humour funny can surely respect that. And if you liked her first special, this is a must-watch.

Two for two as far as I'm concerned, so she honestly might well be one of the best comedians working today.

I'm so happy for Taylor! She so deserves a Netflix special. It's been real great watching her grow and understand herself. Her comedy has evolved admirably and as an individual has grown wonderfully from her guest appearance on Your Moms House to Good For You.
