Iliza: Elder Millennial

This lass is hilarious. If you don't like it you really don't know what stand up is. I've not seen a decent Stand Up comedian on Netflix in a while. Unless we're counting Richard Pryor. Ilizia is hitting that bar he set one many fail to reach. Not only is she reaching it she's doing pull ups on it, limboing underneath it, sleeping on top of it, keeping it polished, tap dancing on it, painting watercolours of it... You get the picture. I wrote this around a third of the way through.

I laughed out loud several times and what more could you want? And to everybody talking about 'not being able to relate'; I am female but that doesn't mean I didn't laugh at Bernie Mac talking about giving his girl the D... comedy is funny or not and Iliza is funny.

I am a man and have always liked Iliza. I loved her first special, yet found the follow-ups to be a bit disappointing. Here, with Elder Millennial, it seems that Iliza is on the comeback trail. She is an energetic comic, and has voices and schticks that make her unique; here she uses them judiciously. Also, she is a pretty lady, quite easy on the eyes, but always willing to blast that pretty image to smithereens. This show is not constant hilarity. But it is always entertaining.

I mean, I'm an elder millennial white female so I'm sure that's why I can relate so much. I love that she gets real and turns it funny. She's also so animated an not afraid to make fun of herself. If you are against lipstick feminism, this wouldn't be your thing but it's totally mine.

I'm a 72 year old grandfather and I loved the material and the flawless delivery. So many subtle gestures at just the perfect time. Bravo
