Michelle Wolf: Nice Lady

Michelle Wolf is smart and funny. Her jokes are relatable, timely, and hilarious. Watch this!

Wolf is a clever woman and pretty humorous. She has great delivery, and somehow turns her strange voice into an asset. But she comes off hypocritical when she declares her comedy to be feminist, but then relentlessly body shames men. Feminists have spent decades complaining about the body shaming of women, so when they then turn around and body shame men, one must conclude that it is some immature quest for revenge. If we step away from feminist narratives, it becomes obvious that both genders practice body shaming, and that we'd all be better off if it stopped.

For once a comic using humor instead of shock. Avoids the off-color, or profane, yet is definitely Adult Humor. Feminist Humor... On target for women. Very much like men have had a corner of humor, often at women's expense--- this is aimed at Women. There a great number of "Uh-huh, you got it!"-- --- I am dismayed that every reviewer seems to focus on the voice. As if other comics aren't too short, too wide, or too unattractive-- or have and accent--and we overlook it. It is more like a signature voice, and certainly not the most important thing about her!

My sister turned this on. I had no previous experience with the comedian, but I was pleasantly surprised. Wolf is both outrageous and insightful. Excellent comic timing.

I've watched this twice now and it's so funny every time. My friend watched it on a plane and CRIED laughing. If you don't like Michelle's voice well then, just don't watch this special, but if you don't mind it then tune in for a tried and true standup. You can tell that she really went to so many clubs and worked on this material for so long. It's not groundbreaking, it's classic comedy, like Seinfeld or Louis CK or someone. But better because we get a new female perspective. Who else could come up with that joke about global warming being passive aggressive? I can't wait for her next special!

PS- if you like this, check out her Netflix show. The first half of every episode is stand-up style monologue jokes. After that is some other stuff that you might like or might not.
