Zainab Johnson: Hijabs Off

I work with a lot of Indians (tech industy) so I thought i would check this out - the title definitely makes it sound like the humor is Muslim based. But it turns out only a few lines at the front were specific to that side of her heritage. She seems to identify with her black side much more and, being from Harlem, her material was pretty American and relevant to a much larger crowd. Her delivery is entertaining although she did say "I mean" too often at points. I also felt she needs to create more material that isn't soley about her and her very high opinion of herself. She did have some good stories, though, and some food for thought. I enjoyed the entire show overall and had a lot of laughs.

Hilarious and Insightful!

Zainab Johnson is one of the best comedians out right now. She constructs a joke excellently. She is maticulous and well crafted. She deserves everything she gets. Hijabs Off is an introspective deep dive into her life. She has the ability to bring laughter to religious and cultural conversations. Zainab, this is your moment. Live in it. I truly believe this is the beginning to people realizing your genius comedically.

Amazon, appreciate the fact that you all have Zainab on your roster of comedians.

P. S - She is the only reason watch the show Upload. Great show by the way.

Go Zainab!!! #1 Fan.

When I first saw the title, I was a bit skeptical what she was going to talk about, and if I would actually find it funny.

I must say that she swept me off my feet. Normally I don't watch foreign comedy shows because of the way they speak, and I dOn't really relate with what's being said, but her words were very clear, even as an African I could easily understand her jokes. The way she spoke and shared her life experiences were very enjoyable.

At first I was just listening but as she went on, I had to stop other activities and give it all of my attention. There were no dry moments.

I am definitely looking forward to more comedy shows from her.

A MUST WATCH!

As a female Muslim who has also dabbled in stand up comedy, I identified with a lot of her material.

She has a very soft yet strong and clear voice with a compelling way of delivery (that would be very suited to stage/theater acting). It wasn't any physical antics but rather her voice and delivery that kept me glued to my seat as I didn't want to miss a single line.

I was chuckling throughout and found myself laughing out loud more than a couple of times throughout her performance (though it did get a bit somber near the end).

I feel like more people should see this and it should be rated more highly on IMDB.

I saw her promote this, softly, on Fridays with Tab and Chance and I was literally counting down the days until this became available on Prime. I absolutely LOVED her special. She started off slow but for her to be a fairly new comedian, I would watch her over ANY other comedian, male or female, all day. I have a few other comedians whom I love dearly but Zainab had me smiling from ear to ear the ENTIRE TIME. I was trying to work and watch and I could not do it. I was glued to the screen. I am not a professional critic and I don't know if this spot is reserved for that but I don't care. Any way I can help get the word out about her, I will. Please watch it!
