Jenny Slate is alive on planet earth, and apparently this is what it's like for her. In her second romantic, electric and naughty little stand-up special, the acclaimed comedian, actress and author proves being brave for love is worth it — even when exploding a baby out of your vagina, stalking your therapist, or trusting your partner to not destroy you. Because being chill is a fool's errand.

I like jenny acting, her comedy are just stories with voices and noises, nothing clever to see here

I was so hopeful for her special!! I think she's a talented comedic actress, but this did not hit the mark for what I believe she's capable of. The somewhat childish outbursts (noises and sounds) that were supposed to be funny just didn't have me laughing or even smiling. I even went back to listen to the live audience laughter to compare to my own reactions and they were also not at a volume at those parts equal to when she did have a good punchline. I hope she keeps honing her craft as I see so much value in comedy and the more the merrier, but it should be funny. My second time watching through (to give the special another chance), I stopped it after the mic stand fell off the platform not before 30 minutes into it.

Jenny Slate is one of the most specific and unique voices in standup. Though I have a lot of respect for folk who are really adept at the setup-punchline style of standup, Jenny Slate's standup is truly something that only she could. The specificity of her language, performance, and perspective makes this special really…special.

I don't know how anyone thought this was funny. Most annoying thing I've ever watched. Gave it 10 minutes and had to shut it off or I'd have to rip my ears off.

Big fan of her work elsewhere... particularly Big Mouth and Shel... this special is a delightful and enthralling journey through some of the inner workings of Slate's experience as a human. Her material here feels at times whimsical, then suddenly precise as a scalpel. She maintains a high level of guileless honesty while never losing grasp of her intention to also entertain at a very human level. Just wonderful.

Slate’s bow-tie, outfit, vocal acrobatics, and her whole vibe shows just how well she might’ve fit in on Pee-wee’s Playhouse. Even if she’s more than a bit more confessional and profane in doing so...

On Seasoned Professional we’re just hearing from Slate herself, and the special is the better for it. Between her enthusiasm and director Gillian Robespierre’s dynamic eye, we don’t need anything else interrupting the show.

Rated: 9/10
