Ali Wong: Hard Knock Wife

She's back! I was really hoping she would come back again, never expected her to be pregnant again on another special. She's got the pregnant lady wobble-walk down.

If I had to compare to another comic I'd say she's a lot like an Asian female version of Kevin Hart, just seems naturally funny and energetic, at least on stage, and makes jokes about her life.

I loved her first netflix special 'Baby Cobra', and this one is the same Ali Wong style but with her life inspirations in early motherhood/family life since then.

Here's hoping that when her kids can walk or speak she'll have a bunch of new experiences for another special :-)

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'm a white woman with no kids but I still found this relatable and hilarious. I love her delivery, she kind of has a Lewis Black thing going on with all the yelling.

She is unapologetically blunt, relatable, and real af. I loved Baby Cobra and I love this one.

Ali Wong is definitely talented, but her routine needs a bit of fine tuning. While some of her jokes are pretty good, most are just meh and her delivery needs work. She relies too heavily on changing her voice as part of the punchline, and it's more grating than humorous with repeat viewing, especially since she does it with almost every joke.

That being said, I would definitely recommend this special, and I hope to see more from her in the future.

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.
