Ali Wong: Hard Knock Wife

I'm a mom and a fan, and found her act to be very relatable and quite hilarious!! I would watch again!

5/24/18. No-holds-barred Ali Wong is back again. Didn't realize she is in her second pregnancy, at about the same time as the first pregnancy when she did Baby Cobra. I just thought she did 2 stand-ups back to back during the same pregnancy. Anyway, if you liked her first stand-up, you will probably enjoy this one. Ali takes on everything with no shame, which is actually quite refreshing.

I didn't watch her first show Baby Cobra yet but after watching Hard Knock Wife I will definitely watch every show of Ali Wong. I never heard of her, never saw her before, but now I surely won't forget about her. Ali Wong is marriage material, the kind of woman you want beside you for the rest of your life, she's goodlooking, funny, and seems like up for an adventure between the sheets. What else could you ask for? That said her show is just hilarious at times, her monologue about her pregnancy was very funny, and even though it seemed long on the same subject it still remained very entertaining, and that's because she has a perfect way to bring her comedy. Her jokes are well thought of, a bit dirty but who doesn't like that? Ali Wong? She has a new fan from now on.

She's a cranky, assertive, shameless, Asian American and she's incredibly funny! Ali has made an art of timing and tone and there is a certain brevity in her wit which nails her humour. Yes, my jaw dropped at some of her content ("I can't believe she just said that") but there were plenty of other moments where I was laughing out loud; something that's hard to find in stand-up or any other comedy. Surrender yourself to it all and enjoy the ride!

I enjoyed this special but it is not as good as Baby Cobra. The material is predictably about being a new mother. I laughed a couple of times but also cringed a few, especially when she shows her underwear. Her close to the bone material was much better in her 1st special and more awkward this time. She is very talented and I look forward to more specials.
