Hannah Einbinder: Everything Must Go

I honestly love her in Hacks, apart from a few overly PC moment, which is brought back down to earth by her amazing co star. This special has a few funny moments in this. I am a female, but I feel there was too much male bashing for me. I love her candor and the straight face she keeps while telling her stories, yet it fell a little too flat for me. I did watch it all way though just to give a fair review. But, I don't want to watch comedy about veganism, climate change and feminism. I want to watch comedy to give me escape from these political issues. Waiting for the next season of Hacks though :)

Just oozes creativity, performance skills, and funny in the brain. Hannah's acting chops and writing chops meet in a carefully produced, exquisite theatre performance. Her material is surprising and hilarious. This is not the relaxed, let's-see-what-happens style of stand-up with the predictable "let's say the stuff we're not supposed to say" yuck-yuck jokes. No, this is exciting, thoughtful, exhilarating stuff that kept me on the edge for the whole almost hour. And Hannah's delivery is in a class of its own, among comics. She's an actual actor, and every line is delivered in character. Sometimes the character is Hannah, but just as often some other imaginary persona. You have to stay on your toes just to keep up with her, but if you can stay in the flow, it's fantastic.

The negative reviews here are from people who have no concept of comedy and subjectivity.

They think that if they didn't find it funny, then it isn't funny and its the performers fault for writing something terrible.

If you don't understand that comedy is ABSOLUTELY subjective then you shouldn't be posting reviews for them. You're not qualified because you don't even understand the thing your reviewing.

You need to understand a topic before you start sharing your thoughts on that topic.

Otherwise you're basically posting the same reviews of those people who leave reviews for movies they haven't watched or books they haven't read.

I didn't find this "comedy" special funny at all. Shouldn't there be at least a few laughs in there somewhere? For some reason Max recommended this to me but I don't get it at all. If this is where comedy is going we're in trouble. I don't know how many more characters I can type to say that I just didn't find this at all funny. Usually I can find something to identify with or laugh at in any comedy special but this one was really tough to sit through. I need to come up with another 130 characters to say I didn't find this funny without being any more insulting than necessary to the "comedian". Whew, I did it.

I remember seeing Hannah on the Late Show With Stephen Colbert a few years ago and immediately realized that I was watching an amazing new comedic talent, and this one hour HBO special just proves it. She combines some serious acting chops along with well thought out stagecraft to tell her extraordinarily funny takes on her life and the crazy messed up world that we live in. A while back my daughter told me I should watch "Hacks" -actually, it was more like an edict - so i binged watched the first two seasons and and continued with the third. While the entire cast is wonderful Hannah really stands out. I am sure that she will continue to make us laugh along with having a great career as an actress. Watch this special, you won't regret it!
