Nikki Glaser: Bangin'

I've never heard anyone talk so intimately and candidly about the conflicting relationship that a woman can have with oral sex, and at the same time make it hilarious.

Unlike her comedy pal Amy Schumer, who made a career out of blaming her sexual misadventures on her low self-esteem, Glaser isn't afraid to show that she enjoys sex, even when it brings her more grief than hope.

This is comedy gold and top-notch storytelling. I suggest that everyone who left a negative review go watch some other cookie-cutter comedian talk about airport food in front of a brick wall for an hour instead. Much like the food in airports, their taste in comedy is bland.

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.

It's not great, but not terrible either. She's recently been on a few podcasts I listen to: JRE, Bert, YMH, etc. and I found her to be extremely funny and captivating to listen to. It's not just the sex stuff, it's the flow of the conversations and the way she tells a story that got me hooked. I wish this special was more of what I heard on podcasts. She did say she has no rhythm and you can 100% feel that. Maybe that's why people are turned off by it. The laughs from the audience seemed lower volume too. Idk if the was done in post production or they never mic'd the room or she just didn't get big laughs from people? The stage and lighting was excellent and she looked banging af up there. The content was good too. It wasn't bad comedy either. As a straight male, most of it grossed me out, but that's what I loved about it.

I'm not a critic or some comedy genius. I'm some dude on the internet and Nikki is way more successful than me. She knows what she's doing and is funny. She wouldn't be where she is today if she wasn't funny. Sometimes things just don't hit that level you're excepting and this special is what that is. I give a 5/10.

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.

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.
