Chelsea Peretti: One of the Greats

It was fine. They kind of overused the cutaways, and there wasn't really a memorable joke, or one that we'll all immediately think of when we hear this name. Also, her final joke was one of the weakest of the set, which is never a good way to end a stand up show, obviously.

She's hilarious. I'd fuck that nose right off her face.

Some interesting editing and cutaway jokes--always cool to see people experimenting with the format. Good special.

The added meta-stuff was just bad and took away focus from the comedy, which was mostly pretty good. Except when she tried to underline the problems of being a female comedian.

Gets a bit too meta for its own good sometimes, but Peretti is pretty sharp. Then again, I have a thing for mean Jewish girls.

FUCK I wanted to like this. I loved her on the Kroll show and just thought I had missed a boat or something....I couldn't get into it. Effing frig. Booo. The audience stuff was dumb and at first I was reminded of Sarah Silverman at the clown bit...The intro was spectacular.

Really good set, but the audience 'gags' are terrible and kind of take the steam out of her great delivery.

Mildly amusing.

After watching the "documentary" Women Aren't Funny (2014) I went into this with a anti-sexist mindset that gave her every advantage to knock my socks off. Alas, in a sea of female comics who stick to gender commentary for women, she doesn't do anything new with the complaining. The other 50% of her material got me to grin with a few added moments of genuine laughter in between the moments of intentional awkwardness and crowd work. The self aware cut aways didn't add or subtract anything for me.

I have only ever seen bits and pieces of Peretti's stand-up, which I have loved, so I was anticipating this hour-long special for a while. This was great. What else can you say about a stand-up special?
