Stuart Heritage

Guardian

The meat of her act is bold and provocative - covering sex and race and marriage - and, considering just how pregnant she is, it also singles her out as an especially gifted physical comedian.

The Ringer

Cobra is a contradiction in terms , and the sly, surface-level hypocrisy is part of Wong's genius, building to one of the most skillful closers in recent memory.

Daily Telegraph (UK)

She's provocative, with a delivery so forceful that, even, when the punchlines don't land, she somehow makes you laugh anyway.

Paste Magazine

It is also the first network special to feature a deeply pregnant comedian, which is not a gimmick but a very practical undertaking.

Ian Sandwell

Digital Spy

Her debut Baby Cobra - filmed when she was seven and a half months pregnant - is the perfect insight into her brand of filthy and provocative humour.

L.A. Weekly

Her pregnancy helps her fire missiles at the sexism of her industry. It is as refreshing as it is vital in a culture that subliminally erases women's personhood as they approach motherhood.

Hilarious. Sharp writing, outstanding physical comedy. It made me laugh trhoughout. Outloud, pause the video, teary laughter. What more can you ask from a stand up ?

Fun to watch, but I didn't really laugh out loud. I can appreciate that Ali Wong is very sharp and that performing whilst 7.5 months pregnant is an act of feminism even if it seems like it shouldn't be that big of a deal. Wong also jokes about the things "women aren't supposed to talk about" and does have some great observations. Maybe it's because I saw this 4 years after it came out? Maybe it's because I already watch a lot of female comics (who also talk about things women don't talk about)? Maybe because the things she's talking about aren't overly relatable to me (yet)? It's probably my own fault that it doesn't feel as fresh. Baby Cobra is still worth a watch.

An absolute laugh riot from start to finish, Ali Wong makes the most out of her first Netflix stand-up special with a healthy dose of brutal honesty and not-so-subtle jabs at the sexism inherent within the entertainment industry making this probably one of the funniest one I've ever seen out of all the stand-up comedy specials on this streaming service.
