Nikki Glaser: Bangin'

I felt the need to defend Nikki after seeing multiple ratings of 2 and 3. I get it, the critics rightly point out its rather one dimensional material: the sexual insecurities of women. But damn it's funny. I'm a straight male, I usually hate this sort of material (for example, Amy Schumer can suck it), but I genuinely couldn't stop laughing. Not for everyone, agreed, perhaps, but she's got skills.

Yes its crude and yes its specific, so I guess it all depends on who's watching. Both my husband and I thought it was funny. It was a little slow for me at first, and honestly, I think her audience sucked (do people even know the comedians they're going to see?), but by the end I was cackling. She's a little like Amy Schumer in that her content is raunchy and explicit, but Nikki's actually funny and it doesn't seem forced.

I think this was very good, you get it from a womans perspective, sure its gross but so is really the subject and she makes the gross funny from a personal view. She talks a lot of sex but I didnt found it vulgar as another comedienne might. Her timing is excellent and to me she is full of irony and satire and self depreciating in a fun way. To like it you need to like dark humour, to me the absolute best female american comic.

I love Nikki so much on Howard Stern and all of her roasts and literally everywhere I've ever seen her but like this but Jesus, a singular overly developed joke LOL does not constitute an hour special. I know for a fact shes got more in the tank than this and I'm disappointed this is what she chose to lead off with.

I wish I could compare this to a live show or another special but this is what I'm left with for the time being. Shes a force and talent and believe she can turn it around with a more balanced special.

I find a lot of people who review Nikki Glaser, and others want to project that it's more of the usual 'filth'. The funny thing is, they always specify 'another WOMAN telling raunchy jokes' but they don't say 'Another MAN telling di*k jokes'. It's actually refreshing to hear her be honest in a self-deprecating way AND give a glimpse into some pre and post-sex behavior, along with her priorities. I think the negative reviews are from people who had their mind made up before even seeing it (if they saw it at all). Give it a try for 10 minutes and if you don't like it, then go watch Jeselnik or someone else. Don't listen to people who dislike it for the sake of disliking it.
