Ilana Glazer: The Planet Is Burning

I think she needs Abby. Broad city is pretty great, but based on this. I don't think Ilana has been doing standup very long. She has charisma but the writing is super weak. She should Stick to surreal absurdist type stuff it's def her strong point. I get it, discrimination sucks, and there are hateful people in the world. I'm so tired of hearing about the same 5 woke topics, beyond that, at this point it's simply lazy and over safe. I can't wait for the first comic or writer to evolve us past this pretend to be woke to appease/entertain/ market to a bunch of people who pretend to hate capitalism.

I felt like she went into little dramatic thinking she was cute or affable but it didn't land for me. It seemed that she was playing to the small crowd there that is really into her versus a wider stage that this format is intended for. I think she has the goods as an actor but doesn't know how to play to a medium that's bigger than the room she was in there just yet as a comedian.

I loved "Broad City" so I had high hopes for this. I couldn't get past 5 minutes because it was so cringe worthy I felt bad for her. This is really really bad. If you like watching people bomb at stand up, this is your gig.

Had high hopes because broad city is so good. But I could only watch about 10 minutes of Ilana's standup. I'd never seen her as a standup before and after watching this I'm not sure if she's spent much time doing it.

Then don't ruin your memories of how hilarious she is in that by avoiding this "stand up comedy" special. I watch a lot of stand up and thus barely qualified as that. She's trying really really hard to act aloof but the heavy handed SJW vibe and cringe worthy quips barely register with her obviously excited venue audience thus on TV it comes off flatter than unleavened bread. If you want to watch it consider yourself warned.
