Zainab Johnson: Hijabs Off

I found Zainab watching Upload and was immediately drawn to her. Wanted more scenes of her. Loved her chocolatiness and sass {both controlled and warranted}. LOVED her voice, reminiscent of another similarly built sis...Tasha Smith.

Whether is was some background contracting deal as a result of her being on that show or she's the biggest breakout start of the show and Amazon wants to keep her around, either way, Zainab is deserving.

Fact that laughed many times and smiled the whole show, even the end says a lot. Been watching a lot of comedy these past few years. Watch Zainab {wish I there was a way to have her name voiced over} 'cause she's good. Watch 'cause you might learn something. Who knew Western Union? Watch 'cause she's so close to having the infinity stone glove.

Enjoy!

I saw her promote this, softly, on Fridays with Tab and Chance and I was literally counting down the days until this became available on Prime. I absolutely LOVED her special. She started off slow but for her to be a fairly new comedian, I would watch her over ANY other comedian, male or female, all day. I have a few other comedians whom I love dearly but Zainab had me smiling from ear to ear the ENTIRE TIME. I was trying to work and watch and I could not do it. I was glued to the screen. I am not a professional critic and I don't know if this spot is reserved for that but I don't care. Any way I can help get the word out about her, I will. Please watch it!

Hilarious and Insightful!

Zainab Johnson is one of the best comedians out right now. She constructs a joke excellently. She is maticulous and well crafted. She deserves everything she gets. Hijabs Off is an introspective deep dive into her life. She has the ability to bring laughter to religious and cultural conversations. Zainab, this is your moment. Live in it. I truly believe this is the beginning to people realizing your genius comedically.

Amazon, appreciate the fact that you all have Zainab on your roster of comedians.

P. S - She is the only reason watch the show Upload. Great show by the way.

Go Zainab!!! #1 Fan.

When I first saw the title, I was a bit skeptical what she was going to talk about, and if I would actually find it funny.

I must say that she swept me off my feet. Normally I don't watch foreign comedy shows because of the way they speak, and I dOn't really relate with what's being said, but her words were very clear, even as an African I could easily understand her jokes. The way she spoke and shared her life experiences were very enjoyable.

At first I was just listening but as she went on, I had to stop other activities and give it all of my attention. There were no dry moments.

I am definitely looking forward to more comedy shows from her.

A MUST WATCH!

I work with a lot of Indians (tech industy) so I thought i would check this out - the title definitely makes it sound like the humor is Muslim based. But it turns out only a few lines at the front were specific to that side of her heritage. She seems to identify with her black side much more and, being from Harlem, her material was pretty American and relevant to a much larger crowd. Her delivery is entertaining although she did say "I mean" too often at points. I also felt she needs to create more material that isn't soley about her and her very high opinion of herself. She did have some good stories, though, and some food for thought. I enjoyed the entire show overall and had a lot of laughs.
