Iliza: Unveiled

And sometimes funny and/or ironic BUTTTT delivered with W A A A A Y too much energy. Trying too too hard. At five minutes in I felt exhaustion and annoyance.

Too bad 'cause, as I said, she makes some good points. I just can't stand to watch her.

I laughed out loud and I'm a sad, bitter person. She is extremely smart, mean and fantastically aware of the absurdity of the human experience.

Iliza is my kind of woman, in so many ways.

If you don't like her other specials, you probably won't be swayed by this. But I love everything she does.

Being a Brit I often cannot get my head around a lot of the US comedians, sometimes because of references but mostly I can't seem to spot the jokes.

Iliza has a very snappy, sharp wit that she backs up with an amazing capacity for vocal skills and a great physicality; managing to contort her body in strange ways and pop poses to increase her satire. OK sometimes she does stagger around the stage making goat noises but even that eventually got endearing.

The material does have a political edge to it and does lean on gender politics. But Iliza is very even with her jokes and put-downs and is not afraid to point out some of the crazy things women do or expect.

Sadly, in a climate where just wandering on stage and declaring that men suck because they earn more than women qualifies as a joke now - Iliza's decision to not be overly anti-man has defecto made her a pro-man comedian in my eyes - a badge that I am sure she doesn't particularly want.

But all that aside the show is very funny and mainly pokes fun at stupid wedding traditions - many that we don't have in the UK but are on Youtube often enough to be relevant.

All in all a very funny show

She's getting better with age. Each show a spot check on reality through the years. She's 30 something now. Her facial expressions and agile energetic performance are worth watching with sound off. Let me rephrase, one needs to watch the closely. Her presence amplifies the power of the jokes.
