Catherine Cohen: The Twist...? She's Gorgeous

I honestly don't get the cynical nature of the previous review. Obviously written by a straight man. I thought this comedian showed a fun, eccentric, off beat personality that's all her own. I laughed throughout. I'm actually watching it again.

People are just scared of women that are loud and funny and opinionated and upfront about their experiences in the world

as a woman in my early twenties I feel really lucky to have a person like her to look up to and can't wait to see what she does next.

Very fun and refreshing to watch stand up about being a woman (but not in the form of solely sex jokes) She's real, her jokes are relatable and she's unapologetically feminine. The songs are a lot of fun and she has a beautiful voice. She really reminded me of a self-deprecating alexis rose. Would love to see more of her!

Ps. A lot of the reviews on here so far are from men, so I felt the need to add my first ever review- Please don't expect to watch an amy schumer esqueshow- this is not that type of female-comedy.

I saw this show in 2018 in cabaret venue and it was spectacular then, and it was the same now on screen. The comedy is a hilarious reflection on the pains of the current culture of narcissism and everyone having 'main character syndrome' or wanting to have it. Her voice is gorgeous, flexible and clear. The opening song is almost a thesis statement for the entire show. She is a victim of herself, and presents her unhinged spiralling with espirit and does self-deprecation in a new way that I have not encountered before.

It is odd to read some of the other reviews here, saying the she has a bad voice, because that is blatantly false (and makes the reviews seem entirely disingenuous). Also I wonder if these reviewer have ever been to a cabaret, if they understand the tradition she is working within is not stand-up. It is cabaret! Cabaret is bawdy, that is one of the main features, a shock for the puritanical undercurrents that persist in American society. Cabaret is gleaming, liminal, glittery, grubby and funny; and Catherine Cohen imparts these tones gorgeously.

This one-hour special, filmed at Joe's Pub in NYC, is a raunchy musical romp through the world of Millennial self-absorption, sex, and privilege. Cohen flies highest when she is singing, with songs that stand on their own musically. The songs especially delight through the wry lyrics delivered in Cohen's beautiful voice with a ridiculously varied range. The shock sexuality loses its impact as the show goes on, but all in all, the breadth of Cohen's skills make this show a highly worthy view.
