Michelle Wolf: Joke Show

It hurts to laugh this much. But it's ok. That's all I want to say but apparently my review is to short so I'll try to submit this review again.

I enjoyed the show, it was not only about that men are bad, like many other female comedians create a show around. There were some clever jokes, but also a lot of absurd jokes, but for me just the right amount. I just like watching her and trying to make the crowd uncomfortable. If I compare to the other female comedians this was the best I saw.

Hilarious comedy for an hour! Not sure what all the hate is for, unless people don't like her political views (of which she barely goes into) or just don't like the sound of her voice (get over it). This special was just as great as any top comedians' standup specials. I had to keep stopping and rewinding to play certain parts for my wife.

I was going to rate this down to a 9 because I thought it could have gone at least 20 minutes longer, but that seemed pretty counterintuitive.

Michelle Wolf, you shrill genius you. I love a comedian who makes me laugh out loud but also articulates unspoken truth in a way that gives me pause. The Joke Show is hilarious, but also emotionally and intellectually mature. As she points out in the very beginning of her routine, people are quick to anger in modern society and I'm sure plenty of people will be clutching their pearls and up in arms over some of her jokes, but this just brought me huge amounts of joy. This is one I will watch again.

While watching Michelle Wolf, I can finally let out the breath I didn't even know I was holding. She bypasses shame and guilt and the myriad ways females are "supposed to be" and simply says it like it is. Somehow watching a cool, strong woman digging out of all the secrecy associated with being female in this culture is extraordinarily liberating. She is like a modern XX Eddie Murphy and should probably wear a full red leather body suit for her next show. Michelle nails it with just the right amount of anger and indignation while remaining cool. I could not feel more proud of being a woman while watching her perform.
