Stand Out: An LGBTQ+ Celebration

I love a lot of the comedians and think the special was funny. However, I didn't like the dragging of Dave Chappelle. Several comedians said he want to take down the rainbow community.... Flat out lies. He has certainly shared his experiences and have opinions, but nothing he said was to punch down the rainbow community. #provemewrong. I am an ultimate ally, but No one talks about how I feel about being labeled a Cis Woman. I didn't approve that and I don't like it! I am a woman period. Feel free to label yourself but it's not fair to give women a label I don't want. I label myself as a natural woman, and somehow that's criticized.

Overall I enjoyed it. There was a couple not so funny people. The main thing I wanted to say here is why did they keep saying it was the first show of its kind when in 1993 and 94 there was Out There 1 and 2!

I love the diversity in this special, with cast members of all (most?) letters within the LGBTQ+ acronym, and racial diversity which was reflected in their pieces.

However, as it can be expected from such a diverse show where each comedian could only do a small bit: some jokes are hilarious, some are bad, most of them are mediocre. Taste is diverse, and it is not to be expected that one can enjoy every inch of the show fully, because of its premise. All things considered, I was enjoyed for the duration of the show, so that's a good thing.

I am not gay, trans, bi or anything else other than just a boring, straight white guy. I initially decided to watch this because I love Tig and Wanda Sykes but then I got REALLY excited to see Todd Glass, James Adomian and Fortune Feimster on stage. WHat a disappointment that they couldn't somehow make this longer and include their sets.

Overall the show was really good and Eddie Izzard did a fantastic job of setting up a very funny ending line.

The material was just so weak, I found myself cringing almost all the way through. There were a couple of laughs here and there, but otherwise it was just a painful experience. Would not recommend.
