Once again Iliza delivers a great performance. She is one of the best comedians to hit the stage in the last twenty years. And it's always refreshing to see the people (mostly dudes, let's be honest) that hate on her honesty. They post on here and try to be clever and poignant. But, they just come off as dejected F-boys trying to achieve relevance. I look forward to every performance from Shlesinger. She's great live, she does sound effects, she snaps like a vicious badger, and she's demure where the joke calls for it. Her bit about her husband's sleeping issues is fantastic. Another win for Iliza and Netflix.
Another great and stand up special from Iliza Shlesinger. She tackles relationships, male and feminine stereotypes, and so much more. Her honest and bold approach to these topics have made one one of the funniest comedy artists of her day. She talks about everyone, but her perspective is unabashedly modern woman. She talks about woman, but there is so much there for men. She is great to listen to but her physical comedy and physiological movements make seeing her a must. While she has had several Netflix specials and many of the themes are similar the material is still original and funny. I just love her and think her intellect is sharp as her wit.
She tells jokes that are specifically for young single/casually dating women. Absolutely nothing wrong with that, but if you don't fall into that category, it's unlikely you will enjoy this. She can make jokes for whoever she wants, but this is not good material for a date night, which I think most stand-up comedy aims to be good for. This is very specific target audience comedy and if you don't fall into that category you're not wanted or invited to be a part of her audience.
Not a surprise, this has been her MO for a while, but for anyone wondering if she would pull back towards a broader audience... nope.

Going to a comedy show should be fun. But in this case, it wasn't very fun. I normally like Iliza ... she's very intelligent & talented, and her comedic timing is great. But if I had paid good money to sit in that audience in Ohio on this July night, I would have come out of there thinking "what in the world just happened, and where did our "date night" go???" Yes, she has a microphone in her hand and wants to use it to make the world a better place, but somehow she turned a night of comedy into a night of being scolded. I agree with many of her opinions, but I don't want to hear about them at a stand-up comedy show. Maybe she could have "touched" on those subjects for a minute or two, but she just kept going and going and it all started to feel uncomfortable and weird. Sorry Iliza, but you missed the mark on this one. Keep telling the world how you feel and keep trying to make it better, but you're a comedienne, so you should keep it funny.
For all those that think this skit is too serious, get a life. I just skimmed over the last 5 reviews and they didn't get the message Iliza was trying to get across. Mary Wiseman was bullied for her body. Even reporters called it her body type. Say it like it is. People, including Star Trek fans, didn't like a curvy woman in tight uniforms.
This how we judge. All those who criticize her don't even know her. Even though she played an awesome character and did an excellent job. She didn't fit the image what a Star Fleet Officer suppose to look like. I stopped watching Star Trek after she left Discovery and gave away all the DVD's I had. Don't need them anymore due to streaming. I'm still discussed by this.
This is exactly what Iliza was talking about. All the other critics that reviewed before me that I read, didn't like the fact she was making a point. Because it is a serious subject that you're not going to get a laugh every second, they say it was a horrible show.
Stand up comedians are intelligent and you have to be intelligent to appreciate them. If you want unintelligent comedy, watch The Trailer Park Boys.
Iliza, awesome job. Too bad there is much more people that you talked about, especially the men that don't get sex, that see woman as an object rather than the intellectual men that support women. Society measures intelligence by IQ, I see intelligence as someone who good at what they do. I know, I have 3 adult daughters that I supported all their lives. Keep going on this. Thank you for the great entertainment.
