Chelsea Handler: Evolution

I love good stand up comedy, particularity if it has (a) message(s). I've struggled watching female comedians though. Mostly because their humour tends to veer in an unnecessary anatomy or relationship degrading cliche. I prefer rough edged life humour like Bill Bure or Jim Jeffries (other than the latter obsession with a certain male anatomy as well :)

I will admit, I knew little of Chelsea Handler before I watched this. I know I saw bits of her other shows and specials and remember some humour. The only reason I watched this, is I flipped onto her interview in the daily show. I usually get bored in these repetitive interviews, but she captivated me at a personal level. Her dry humour and humility, but mostly due to her emotional plight subtly displayed.

The show itself is fractured at the beginning, it's not fluid humour but still entertaining. Within 20 minutes she gets into a flow and deliveries. She actually hit me at a personal level, where even my wife looked at me and said "that's you". I got free (and likely very expensive) psychiatric treatment from Chelsea Handler. I have a real lack of empathy and it is derived from childhood. She depicts this with perfection with great humour and the genuine nature of it almost brought me to tears. This is a rare feeling for me.

I'm giving this an 8, but my bias relation to it gives it a 10. The people giving it anything under a 7 clearly either didn't watch it, or didn't understand her message. I'm guessing it's more likely they are simple snow flakes due to political reasons. People as deep as a puddle. Thank you Chelsea for a great show! If I see you on flight, I'm going to start packing my stuff, look In your eyes, and you better follow because it's time to go.

This was as bad as Lisa Lampanellis special after she has loose all that weight. Chelsea just apologizing being white....

If you think "I'm not suicidal, today" is funny ... then I don't understand how you think. A comedian should not be depressing. She is. Liberal, feminist with issues and back issues. Skip it

Chelsea handler, six years after she stopped doing her late night show. At the opening, we can see all the covid safety preparations, as people line up for her show. So much time spent on taking the recreationals. Good experiences, bad experiences. Lots of sex jokes... lady parts, dating black guys and dating white guys. She touches on politics... always a dangerous subject, because you risk alienating some of your own crowd. Some very adult language, so send the kids out of the room! She does get a little preachy, about halfway through... she starts saying "you shouldn't do this, you shouldn't do that", while talking about her therapy session. It comes across as overly confrontational. It's mostly good, but some of it is angry and negative. Directed by troy miller, in new jersey. He seems to work with comedians and musicians. Currently showing on MAX channel.

I guess bad reviews come from People that didn't watch it.

She is great, so funny and even emotional.

I really enjoy the show.
