Started out strong and then petered out about halfway through with very few laughs sprinkled here and there. I wasn't offended by her or anything, it was just really poorly scripted. Some of the jokes would have landed much better if she had picked up the pace on them. The more you draw out a simple joke, the more boring it becomes. By the time she got to the kicker of a joke, I just didn't care anymore. Also, the yelling. Yelling the same line 6 times in a row doesn't make it funnier. It was like beating a dead horse over and over. I don't watch SNL so this was the first time I've seen her perform. Bc of this, when she got to the end where she talks about how funny she is, it was really cringey to watch. 4 stars are for the beginning only.
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
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).
If Leslie had any real friends, they would tell her that her material is awful and she should not do stand up comedy. I cringed whole time. I cringed harder when I read the 10/10 reviews because apparently only right wingers disliked her.
I like Leslie, but this may have been too raw for my taste. She needed some better direction on how to prepare the material.
