Chelsea Handler: The Feeling

I'm not a big comedian consumer but I do catch these acts every so often and have nothing but respect for the people getting up there on stage. I mean you can't fake it, no sleight of hand here, the jokes either work or they don't. With that said, this set by Chelsea Handler was a miss. From the beginning, there was an air of desperation starting with the opening about monkey pox and the "hey, I'm cool with the gays" bit. In 2025 you can't get up there and hope that 'I like sex and drugs and hate Republicans' is comedy without humor attached to it. After 25 minutes or so without a single laugh, I tuned out for a bit and then came back in with 5-10 minutes left. Finally at the end when she turned her attention to Bill Cosby there were a couple of laughs. But after an hour long screed there was no salvaging this disaster.
