Ali Wong: Hard Knock Wife

I enjoyed this special but it is not as good as Baby Cobra. The material is predictably about being a new mother. I laughed a couple of times but also cringed a few, especially when she shows her underwear. Her close to the bone material was much better in her 1st special and more awkward this time. She is very talented and I look forward to more specials.

Worth your time. Insightful, original, funny well written. AW always brings the heat.

5/24/18. No-holds-barred Ali Wong is back again. Didn't realize she is in her second pregnancy, at about the same time as the first pregnancy when she did Baby Cobra. I just thought she did 2 stand-ups back to back during the same pregnancy. Anyway, if you liked her first stand-up, you will probably enjoy this one. Ali takes on everything with no shame, which is actually quite refreshing.

Ali Wong is definitely talented, but her routine needs a bit of fine tuning. While some of her jokes are pretty good, most are just meh and her delivery needs work. She relies too heavily on changing her voice as part of the punchline, and it's more grating than humorous with repeat viewing, especially since she does it with almost every joke.

That being said, I would definitely recommend this special, and I hope to see more from her in the future.

I'm a mom and a fan, and found her act to be very relatable and quite hilarious!! I would watch again!
