Dylan Moran has been called the Oscar Wilde of comedy and his famed style - deadpan, witty and with crackpot lyricism – makes for an unmissable journey through his interpretations of the world, swerving cliché to offer a cutting blow to our idiosyncrasies.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

She's a cranky, assertive, shameless, Asian American and she's incredibly funny! Ali has made an art of timing and tone and there is a certain brevity in her wit which nails her humour. Yes, my jaw dropped at some of her content ("I can't believe she just said that") but there were plenty of other moments where I was laughing out loud; something that's hard to find in stand-up or any other comedy. Surrender yourself to it all and enjoy the ride!

5/24/18. No-holds-barred Ali Wong is back again. Didn't realize she is in her second pregnancy, at about the same time as the first pregnancy when she did Baby Cobra. I just thought she did 2 stand-ups back to back during the same pregnancy. Anyway, if you liked her first stand-up, you will probably enjoy this one. Ali takes on everything with no shame, which is actually quite refreshing.

Ali Wong is definitely talented, but her routine needs a bit of fine tuning. While some of her jokes are pretty good, most are just meh and her delivery needs work. She relies too heavily on changing her voice as part of the punchline, and it's more grating than humorous with repeat viewing, especially since she does it with almost every joke.That being said, I would definitely recommend this special, and I hope to see more from her in the future.

I know men may or may not relate unless they are one of the white ones dating or married to an Asian women. As a woman, I thought it was funny and smart. Not a mother but can still relate as many of my friends have kids. Ali is a super talented writer, her insights on the Asian American culture, motherhood and being a partner are funny and reflects what people go through. Good for you , can't wait to see more. This was my first time seeing any of her stuff, now i'm going through the archives.
