Oct 23, 2015It was OK, but it felt like just a list of jokes that were haphazardly strung together. There is no real buildup i found myself losing interest frequently as she rambled on trying to get to a joke. This is the least good HBO special i have seen yet.

Sharply written and delivered with an acute self-awareness.

It recalls some of the better standup specials of the past decade. It hits on those R-rated topics she’s good at addressing and it lets her weigh in on the problems women face in Hollywood.

Schumer's impression of the personal trainer [is] a great routine, one that's matched only by a subsequent ode to semen (during which she does a priceless shout-out to Oprah Winfrey), as well as a climactic monologue about sexual positions that features some pretty uproarious audience participation. It's during these sections that Schumer's humor is most alive--truly transgressive in ways that confront, rather than winkingly tweak, the chauvinistic prejudices she's targeting. The rest is scattershot in the way of a very talented comic still honing both her points and her live-act presence.
