Leslie Jones: Time Machine

If you want to listen to someone yell and make random noises, or watch someone make ridiculous faces and actions then this is the comedy special for you. Leslie is much better in SNL, but a stand alone solo show is not her best work. Avoid this disaster

There's an older recording of Leslie Jones stand up and I think its amazing, it shows you what she's capable of and how hard she works. This new stand up still is Leslie and if she was hard core in the past, she's still hard core in her 50's. I liked it because she goes hard and if you're not ready for it then it may not be your "cup of tea". She's reflective on her life and gives her audience some loud advice. Intimate, coarse and NOT a Bill Cosby and wouldn't want to be. I'd take Leslie over a Whitney Cummings any day...

I had great expectations and was hoping Leslie's Netflix special would be a springboard for her post-SNL career. Unfortunately, it falls flat due to the constant yelling and endless physical performances which were aimed at covering the lack of content and direction. She says she had a great time doing it but alas, she's the only one who actually had fun (laughing at her own jokes throughout).

I like Leslie, but this may have been too raw for my taste. She needed some better direction on how to prepare the material.

It's like she knows it's not funny so she thinks if she yells it will make it somehow funnier.
