    Zzzzzz, terrible

    If you think "I'm not suicidal, today" is funny ... then I don't understand how you think. A comedian should not be depressing. She is. Liberal, feminist with issues and back issues. Skip it

    Funny, wholesome, vulnerable, awesome.

    I've always been a fan of Handler, but this stand-up wasn't what I expected.

    Nothing is better than a comedy where you talk about your hilarious life's events, but Handler also showed her vulnerability with a sad story about someone (no spoilers) close to her that I never new about. For a comedian to open up on a stage, and intertwine it with humor the way she did and pull it off, was stellar, and I learned about another side of her.

    There were a few LOL moments, but I also caught myself with a perma-smile/grin when she was telling her stories. If alpha males turned into a woman for a day, they'd be Handler. I'm sure most women think like she does, but only she has the courage to hide nothing and say what's really on her mind, that that's what makes her special, relatable, unique, and hilarious.

    Chelsea, thank you for being you, and the laughs you gave us in times like these. And if you're ever in the 416, 🤙 ;p It's a well deserved 8/10 from me.

    OBJECTIVELY UNFUNNY

    Chelsea Handler is not funny. This is just more proof of that. She makes a joke about drugs that I actually think might be the worst joke I've ever heard.

    chelsea goes to the therapist

    Chelsea handler, six years after she stopped doing her late night show. At the opening, we can see all the covid safety preparations, as people line up for her show. So much time spent on taking the recreationals. Good experiences, bad experiences. Lots of sex jokes... lady parts, dating black guys and dating white guys. She touches on politics... always a dangerous subject, because you risk alienating some of your own crowd. Some very adult language, so send the kids out of the room! She does get a little preachy, about halfway through... she starts saying "you shouldn't do this, you shouldn't do that", while talking about her therapy session. It comes across as overly confrontational. It's mostly good, but some of it is angry and negative. Directed by troy miller, in new jersey. He seems to work with comedians and musicians. Currently showing on MAX channel.

    Chelsea Bland-ler

    I'd say, don't quit your day job...but how does she make a living from this exactly? She has a net worth of $35 million for this style of "humour". Lasted 20 minutes without laughing, and I wanted to at least smile and find something amusing from this?!!
