Taylor Tomlinson: Have It All

We had a really hard time watching the special even just halfway through. The constant gloating and mentioning that she has a Netflix specials and that she's so important really got old. She seems to have a really negative view of people who are married and continues to talk about how boring and sad they are. Since she has no idea what it actually means to be married it was kind of embarrassing to watch her trying to describe it.

Unfortunately, we found the jokes to be stale and it was hard to watch in a "I feel bad for her" way. We turned it off, and then tried to watch it again the next night in hopes that things would turn out better, but it almost seem like there was a sense of insecurity about her in incessant gloating and bragging about having Netflix specials that was just a huge turn off.

Her other specials were so good and came from such a humble place but this one just missed the mark unfortunately.

Taylor Tomlinson's previous specials were comedic genius, were Taylor used her history of anxiety, depression and her growing up ever so brilliantly to create a show that wasn't only relatable as she touched many aspects of every-day life, but was also hilarious and comedy gold.

But unfortunately, this third special doesn't even come close to their predecessors. Taylor uses old jokes and repeats them endlessly, and it doesn't take long before you realize that her entire special is about one thing only: dating. And the dating jokes are not even good ones as she rehashes old material. There are very few new jokes thrown in there, but they're not really good.

Interaction with audience was also awkward and weird. I've seen her interact with audiences in many YouTube videos of shows she's done in clubs, and she's actually very good. She wasn't trying too hard and was real, genuine and funny. But in "Have it All" it's scripted and it's painfully shows. There's nothing natural about the interactions, and for some reason Taylor resorts to "insulting" the ones she interacts with, and not in a smart and funny way.

For someone who films their third special, she also seemed very uncomfortable and nervous. She was talking way too fast like she was hurrying or trying to do as much jokes as she can, which also hurt her delivery- which is usually very good.

If there'll be a fourth special, I'd probably watch. I still believe Taylor is very talented and very funny, but she needs to come with new material and be more herself. That's what made her previous shows so good. Here it felt like she's trying too hard, and the end result has left a lot to be desired.

I guess we truly can't have it all sometimes.

Of the two blond Taylors who've become super popular in the last few years within their respective fields, I'll take Tomlinson over Swift any day.

Have It All is not quite as good as her previous two specials, and so I think there might have been a little disappointment for me as a result. Quarter-Life Crisis was great, and then Look At You felt like one of the funniest and most insightful/balanced I'd ever heard.

Have It All is still strong. Most of the jokes landed and Tomlinson's honesty and introspection are still compelling to listen to, and probably would be even if there weren't any jokes. Parts of this still hit hard and there was something of an emotional rollercoaster to be had, what with laughing one minute and then feeling despondent the next when she gets very real.

I just don't think the ride was as consistent or thrilling as previous specials, but it still felt like high-quality stuff and I'm still keen to listen to/watch whatever she puts out next.

Had really high expectations coming into this, as I'd watched her first two specials loadsss of times and quickly established that she was my favourite comedian. The fact that I wasn't disappointed is no mean feat, and I genuinely did laugh out loud several times. 9 as opposed to 10 just because I still think she's got more potential, but thoroughly enjoyed it. She says this one is more like Quarter Life Crisis, but I disagree, and feel like it's pretty balanced in terms of the influences of it's predecessors. Definitely adding this to the roster of specials to watch again, and so yep, if you liked her first two, I'd recommend this one :))

Well, I did enjoy the previous shows from Taylor Tomlinson, so when I stumbled upon this 2024 comedy special on Netflix, while browsing through the contents, of course I had to watch it. I didn't know that she had a new show out, but then again I don't really keep up with what she is doing.

Now, the good news is that if you enjoyed the previous two shows from Taylor Tomlinson, then you will definitely also enjoy this 2024 show. You know what you are getting and she does deliver. And yeah, I definitely was adequately entertained by this 66 minute long comedy special, no doubt about that. The bad news is that as a comedian, she isn't really progressing or evolving, it feels very much like the shows that came before this.

Again, as with the previous shows, Taylor Tomlinson feels naturally at home on the scene and she has a good charisma and carries the show with grace. And her interaction with the audience is good.

Something that I didn't like about this 2024 show was how much she talked about her career and her Netflix specials, it felt a bit pompous and as if she was rather full of herself. You're on Netflix, yeah, we get it. We are watching you there already...

I was genuinely entertained by "Taylor Tomlinson: Have It All" and it is well-worth sitting down to watch and enjoy, whether or not you have seen the previous shows.

My rating of "Taylor Tomlinson: Have It All" lands on a six out of ten stars.
