Amy Schumer: Emergency Contact

This was just Amy Schumar coming out to have a chat to the audience. You can hear the audience laugh, but, at what? I didn't manage to laugh, or even chuckle once, at anything she said during this under an hour, or an over the time limit, 30 minute failure.

No, I'm not an Amy hater, but this stand-up is not worthy of being called one. The audience deserves their money back and the viewer can never get back that 50 mins of waiting to hear something funny, but instead, just Amy gloating about herself and shelling out filler after filler.

This is where this review should end, but I need 22 more characters and ... oh, done!

The show was absolutely devoid of any humor, even though I started it with a cup of coffee, I ended up dozing off multiple times. Mind you this doesn't happen even when I sit down 5 hours to write my thesis.

Also I hope stakeholders put more thought into deciding who to support for such shows. It would be nicer to have such shows of people who actually get some giggles out of people.

This makes you understand why Amy is so involved in speaking on political issues and being on the wrong side that supports the perishing of innocent civilians. I guess she's trying to escape these atrocities of "entertainment".

My wife and I are fans of Amy's from back in the day. Over the years her comedy got quite stale unfortunately. Eventually it seemed (to us) that Amy had left comedy to start a family. We figured good for her. She did very well for herself while in the limelight.

Well... She's back.... with a special? We were curious, despite the large amount of distaste she has garnered for herself over the years with some of the biggest names in stand up. We gave it a try.

Nothing relatable out of the gates. L. A. Plastic surgery material from a frumpy wanna-be funny mom? Hard pass. I feel like this was specifically for her friends and family, but thought it was good enough to make some cash from. I'm curious if she actually tried the material out more than a couple times outside her friends and family... This was NOT "special" material by any measure.

Amy uses the exact same comedy beats that she used years ago. The jokes MIGHT be new, but the tired delivery was enough to turn us both off. We did chuckle a couple of times, but we might have just been attempting to find something funny.

In the end we turn it off long before the closing bit. Not worth it at all.

If you're chronica;ly depressed and unhappy with your appearance and your life, why go on stage and show it to everyone. Of course, some people (Woody Allen, Joan Rivers) could do it and do it well, but it's really hard and that's nowhere in evidence than in this depressing demonstration. What's worse, if anything could be worse, she's not very funny. She got a few snickers and one or two laughs, but otherwise it seemed to be like listening to a boring person at a cocktail party drone on about their life. If you're not ready, why do it? Even the audience is only luke warm, which speaks volumes itself.

Amy Schumer is the least funniest person I've ever had the displeasure of viewing. The jokes were rubbish, reused and old. Honestly I don't understand why she is even given a platform unless it is to TORTURE the audience.

Please do yourself an HUGE FAVOUR and don't waste your time. It's like poking needles in your eyes listening to her whine.

Really really hope Netflix never gives her another show or I will really have to cancel my subscription.

She should give it a rest and stop trying so hard to push this comedic career because it's genuinely awful and embarrassing.

Running out of space. But don't watch it.
