I Love This Firecracker's Brand of Humor!

She made me laugh, and cackle a few times, and generally smile widely through the whole show. Not your typical stand-up, Alex through some great curve balls...like having her parents Judy and Irving, come to a show where she sings about Mushtats. If you like her in Mrs Maisel, and Family Guy uncensored, you'll love this show even more, I kid you knot!It's hard to tell if, when she sings, if that is her real singing voice, or if she is imitating a singer. The point sized pistol is so good at mimicry it's hard to tell when you actually here the real voice she uses for every day speech.As for the reviewers who pretend not to enjoy this style of ha ha, why would you bother watching. You must already know her style given everything else she's done. Oh well, haters and trolls gotta hate and troll.

A Pleasant Watch

This is a generally funny performance and has heartfelt moments. It isn't a bad way to spend 1.5 hours if you have the time to kill. The only issues are that at times the delivery seemed to drag and the audience itself can seem a bit flat/dull, which takes away from the overall experience.Mr. Mills and Mr. Rey probably should have had a more detailed introduction up front so we weren't sitting wondering who they were (at least up until they were introduced halfway through). Nevertheless, they were a pleasant addition and only added to the experience.As to the overall "preachiness" that some reviewers have mentioned: Yes, there are times where I wanted to say, "Yep, I agree with that position 100%, now let's keep it moving." Still, as "preachy" as it was, her messages are things that need to be talked about right now.

Alex as you've never seen her!

Alex Borstein in this Amazon Prime special is a scream. Inventive, outrageous, funny as hell. Some of it does cross a line into the crass or vulgar (the Hitler maid song, oy vey; the "Jewmanji" song, too much self-loathing in my book) ... but heck - it's comedy, and the bits don't last that long. It's a nice blend overall between the standup material and the songs. She can really sing! The musicians and comic foils Salva and Eric get their due as well. I was previously familiar with Alex as Susie in Maisel and somewhat from Gilmore Girls so this was a nice surprise. Glad we stumbled into it and it was the most we laughed in a while! Ignore the miffed right-wingers pulling down the ratings here.
