Tiffany Haddish: Black Mitzvah

I never knew Tiffany Haddish was a stand up comedian, I saw her in the Kevin Hart movie and thought she was an actress. I enjoyed her in that movie. I watched her They Ready special and while I found her annoying I enjoyed some of those comics - actually I enjoyed those comics much more than I did watching this special.

I am still trying to figure out where the "jokes" were in this special. She is literally just talking and when she wants a laugh she starts talking loudly and shaking her head. Sorry, but just raising your voice and snapping your head is not going to get a laugh from me. Also, the entrance was super weird. She came out on a chair with men carrying her and starting --- singing, rapping, I don't know. I was like what the heck is this that I am watching. I have a feeling the audience had to be guided as to when to make noise as it did not sound natural at all but rehearsed. Then she spent 5 minutes having her team come out on stage to fix her outfit that was riding up her ass, and during that a white stage hand was sweeping the floor and she made a comment "yeah white girl sweep that floor". I thought that was extremely distasteful. Can you imagine if a white person made a similar comment? If it's not ok for one race, then it's not ok for any race.

Overall, I didn't laugh a single time watching this "comedy" special and I feel that her comedy is extremely overrated.

I've never understood the hype around Tiffany Haddish. I've seen her in acting capacities and to me, she seems to play the exact same character in everything. Never saw any of her stand up routines so I gave this one a try. And one thing I noticed was that just like Iliza Shlesinger's newest special, she's performing to a crowd of pandering seals waiting at the ready to clap and bark at literally everything she says. For example she said "I bought a microscope" and the crowd actually whooped and hollered at it. She even had to tell the crowd to sit down because for whatever reason after an opening standing ovation they just....kept standing?

She didn't seem to be telling jokes. She was basically just talking AT the audience about the most random things. Everything she said seemed to be going for applause rather than laughs. Even to the point where she kept pausing, expecting a round of clapping in return. The whole thing was just a mess. And after seeing this and other things she's been in, I'm STILL at a loss for why the powers that be keep trying to make this woman happen.

The only reason I gave this trash one star was because i couldn't give it zero.

The jokes land fine. I'm just sick of the Haddish invasion where she is in everything. The Lego Movie, Night School, Keanu, and soooo much more!

A+ actress, solid C stand-up comedian, but we knew that, right?

What is wrong with the reviewers on this title? Four in total, two ones and two sixes...What??? It appears none of them are able to spot talent even if it swaffled their nose for half an hour.

Straighforward, honest, deceptively vulnarable, a unique style and at times funny as hell. This stand up show is seriously good.
