    Very mundane stand up. Only so many times you can laugh at the disgusting cute girl trope. She should have stuck to stealing jokes at least with other peoples material she was kinda funny.

    Since when did COMEDY turn into a political agenda? Amy scummer should be ashamed. Burn you nasty Bit*h burn. People like this feel no shame, so she needs to be silenced.

    I have watched only 15 minutes. That's my time limit. I have not laughed once during this time, So why bother. Content felt not worked on and just like internet general garbage. I don't recommend

    you know how awkward it is when someone thinks they are funny but they are not or even the complete opposite? this was horrible, her Jokes only revolve around her vagina, how much of a "slut" she is or something along those lines, maybe some 12 year olds would find this funny but anyone above will most likely not

    Terrible. Un-bloody-believable that a San Francisco 'critic' gave this 100%. It's embarrassing, cringe worthy trash. Yikes. What a pig. Do yourself a favor and go clean your toilet instead of watching this.

    I was disappointed that this particular set was fairly weak. The jokes were repetitive and lacked creativity.

Generally i felt she was trying to pass off crude humour as edgy but couldn't quite find that balance or harmony. I miss her older material where she was a little off-beat, witty, and able to present a variety of topics. She's way better than this and i hope she can make a comeback with the next special! All the best!… Expand

    Really horrible, and literally steals jokes from other comedians.... Time travel joke. she is not original. This particular special was horrible and incredibly unfunny. she talks with such a lack of wit, class, or even humor

    Amy Schumer claims to be a feminist. Within the first ten minutes of her special she makes women feel bad about having a vagina and has a go at men for not wanting to screw her. That's not feminism. Also, Amy... Your vagina probably shouldn't smell like that, that's not normal.
    The whole thing just seems like story after story of her grossest moments. No punchline to be found.

    I have a pretty broad sense of humor, even the worst fart, toilet and sex jokes can get a laugh from me. None, I didn't laugh once during this special.
    She was funnier when she wasn't writing her jokes - assuming she write this set.
    It's a shame because she does have a great stage presence, and when she isn't making foul 'jokes' she is ALMOST funny.
    The special feels ultimately unpolished, cringe and gross. Without punchlines at the end of most jokes it's hard to keep watching without wondering - where she's going with any of this - other than 'this joke is an excuse to tell you I can still get laid'.    … Expand

"If you don't like it, you're sexist!" "If you like it, you're a tumblr feminist!" But by doing this, people are missing the point- Regardless of whatever your views on Amy Schumer are, this special needs to be viewed critically. Here's the thing- Amy Schumer's issue is not that she's a woman. Woman can be and are hilarious, and there's no reason a woman can't tell sex jokes the way a man can. That's not the issue, and anyone saying that that's the issue is kidding themselves. No, the issue is that it's just not funny. The jokes don't work, she doesn't seem into it, and honestly? It gets old really quickly. There's only so many times I can hear a vagina joke, and if I'm being honest, I'm not really into watching someone standing on stage saying disgusting things for an hour. Spoiler alert: You can be funny and work a crowd without relying on shock factor.
    Wanna know what I just did? I judged the special based on the quality of the jokes. This doesn't make me an "alt-right troll," because that's literally not how anything in life works. It does, however, make me a person who did not find The Leather Special at all funny.
    And since I feel like I need to add this- I'm a woman, and I don't think there's anything wrong with a woman making sex jokes or anything like that. However, this is comedy, and jokes ought to be funny, so I have to call this special a failure.    … Expand

    Big AS fan, but this special was horrible. Old, tired sex jokes. Unorganized and sloppy as someone else put it(and true) The gun thing was out of place. Seemed uncomfortable and disconnected. I'd recommend to her that she take a break from the light and work on some newer material

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I watched the show after seeing reviews on youtube. I watch very little stand up anymore because I find most stand up performers dumb and unfunny. So I watched this show after smoking a fat joint because I thought it might be funny because it was so dumb. It turned out just to be dumb. Her jokes are either crude references like her **** stinking. Would it be funny if I got up on stage and said my ass stinks? Most people would say, "Go wash your ass you dirty grub." The other jokes are like someone else wrote them and then she tried to memorize them and screwed them up not really understanding or living the situation. Like when she talks about blacking out then regaining consciousness. I forgot how she worded it, but she messed it up like she really didn't comprehend what she was saying. Maybe I should do some mushrooms and watch it? Hell, even tampon commercials are funny on shrooms.… Expand

    Who didn't LOVE Amy Schumer before realizing that she steals all of her material from other comedians' acts. Disappointment for sure. The Leather Special is no exception. So much of it is directly stolen (and poorly/sloppily executed) that I wouldn't be surprised if not 30 seconds of it was original.
    This would be a waste of five minutes, if you could even stand it that long.

    I’ve been to funnier funerals. All the jokes were vagina and penis related. She keeps painting the narrative that it’s easy for her to get laid. There are non stop attacks on men.

    If she had made as many funny jokes as much as she swore I would have called it comedy. Instead, it has the label of "white girl complaining about her sorry existence". Don't recommend it at all.

    cheap, lazy humor. She can't joke about anything but nasty sex and female hygiene. So boring. People just like her because they're told they have to or they're not a feminist. Good Lord, please bring us more real female comics.

    The Leather Special is obscene, gross, nasty--but none of that matters. What matters is how unfunny Schumer is. Her cadence and delivery and content makes her show very cringingly bad. It was very difficult to watch her bomb her way through the entire special. I hate seeing anyone be embarrassed.

    I have no idea how this woman is a comedian, I made it 50% of the way through the special before the cringe forced me to turn it off. . . There wasn't a single laugh the entire time. Like south park said its literally her saying vagina (or a variation) the entire time.

    FFS The most uncomfortable 57 minutes of my life. she just yells "pusay" "pusay" "pusay" "Vagina" "Vagina" "Vagina" "I'm a slut" "I'm a siut" the whole time.

    She’s absolutely as funny as she was two years ago, which was pretty darn funny. But the humor--most of it revolving around sex, body issues and relationships--feels dated.

    Ironically, the dirtier it gets, the less daring it feels. Part of the problem is that she doesn’t drop in enough context from her life of late, and the material feels like it could have come from a set three years ago.

    It's pretty much 85 percent sex jokes. The good news is that all the sex jokes are very funny! And even when Schumer turns her attention elsewhere, she still kills it. [10 Mar 2017, p.62]
