Alex Borstein: Corsets & Clown Suits

Stand up comedy so clever and actual and funny, singing songs, remembering past, talking about actual stuff, Genius!!!! Just clever and smart!! So good! I enjoyed a lot! I thought was just other serie like others, but this is so nice! I would like going and see this show life!! Maybe you can bring it to Barcelona!! I recommend for people who like laughing but at the same using sarcasm of the reality. I have to write a 600 words to review and I don't know what else to write hahaha so I'm just typing what I'm thinking haha well, just clever and funny and I really really really 19 words more, really like it!!! 600 done!!!!

Some parts were better than others. I liked the approach of comedy with music. The songs were funny, the jokes were funny. She missed the mark a few times, but like she said, "its free to watch- i mean you didn't get prime to watch my show. " so i totally got my money's worth. What the *&^&, my review needs to be 600 words. Well let me just tell you, she was funny. I laughed. For another 200 words i'll mention how i laughed. She took some big swings and hit a few good ones. It was well rehearsed. The musicians were excellent. It wasn't just a stand up walking around an empty stage. It was more.

If you're a fan from Mad TV or the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel or her many TV and film roles, you're going to love this stand-up routine in which she talks about her life, her family, life in general, and on occasions breaks into song and even dance. Surprise, she sings pretty good and while she's not going to win on Dancing with the Stars, she's not too bad in the dance either. Most of all, she's funny. Perhaps a little raunchy for some people, but funny nonetheless. The show is billed as Season 1 Episode 1, which is probably a joke, but if it means we'll see more, sign me up. BTW - you'll probably recognize the theatre that she is playing in. It's the same one from the Maisel show.

Unlike another reviewer, I was thoroughly entertained by Alex's combination of stand-up and singing. I have loved her since MadTV, and on the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel I applaud her character's wit, (grudging) warmth, and evolution from whatever it was she did at The Gaslight(!) to agent.

But back to this show-I did not mind her liberal opinions and heartfelt observations. For me, they merely served to act as a respite from the belly laughs which her comedy elicited from me. I never thought I would find myself laughing at some of the darker material which occasionally popped up, but I did.

The musicians who served as her partners in crime had their own moments to shine, and even the ASL interpreter had some humorous bits.

Keep up the great work, Alex!

Alex Borstein is hilarious and also can sing really well. She has come a long way from MAD TV. The original songs she sings in this special are funny and clever. Alex's parents are in the audience and she talks to them during the show. She is an extremely talented performer who always made me laugh. I hope she does more comedy specials because she nails it. This is one of the better stand ups I've seen over the years. Alex isn't afraid to say what she wants to say and doesn't hold back. She even makes fun of herself and doesn't take herself seriously. Move over Mrs. Maisel! This is the marvelous Ms. Borstein at her finest!
