Tracey Ullman's Show

Tracey has outdone herself yet again. It's no wonder that so many of this show's sketches have gone viral around the world, and even used as a teaching aid in universities. Each season is better than the last!!!

I've now watched two episodes of Tracey Ullman's new comedy show and it is absolutely the best. She does not rely on cheap tinny sexual innuendo that is so tired it should be banned. Her humor is definitely British and European characters but as a normal north American I could not be more highly amused. In fact, laugh out loud belly laugh amused.

Dame Judy Dench as a pilfering, toilet-clogging mischief maker who can do anything because 'she's a national treasure' and Angela Merkel, chancellor of Germany as a sexy torch-singing maven are only a few of the unbelievable number characters in the half hour show. The makeup is unbelievable. It takes a few minutes of watching a male character to realize that yes, it is Tracey!

I hope you take my word for it and try this show. You'll be happy you did.

From her spot on impressions of celebrities like Dame Judi Dench, Dame Maggie Smith, Camila and Angela Merkel. One of the best non Tracey characters is Birgit played by Samantha Spiro. The non celebrity characters are hilarious too. Her accents are insane. She can mirror anyone's accent. It is too bad she does not get on social media. I think it would be hilarious to see her daily posts.

We are now have her shows on TV here in Thailand and sorry she may be very talented in some areas but for me her comedy is rubbish and she should give it up. Now Catherine Tate who is similar in some ways is a far superior comedy act and I have a good laugh when she is on TV whereas Tracey puts me to sleep or I changes channels or sit and watch paint dry

Not sure why this series is not more popular. it's a bit more British than her old American series years ago, but I love British humor. There is a bit or two now an then that is really British, and thus may fall flat for Americans. But most of it is very relatable and very funny. Her Judi Dench makes me fall on the floor ever time, as does her Maggie Smith. Many of her non-celeb bits have an underlying human quality to them, i.e., funny and sometimes a bit sad or containing a deeper message.

Highly recommend this show, but it may not be for everyone.
