Negative Positive
Title: Lowered Expectations
Review: I love this woman's work - she's incredibly warm and funny, and manages to really get us for the shock value - but I think the dramatic difference in delivery technique that stands between a roast and general stand-up is what manages to not only elude her, but also kill her performance.The show tended to drag on, and the material wasn't fresh - it was rehashed and not very funny. How long is she going to talk about the size of her new husband's testicles?She always insults the audience to laughs, but this time her insults were predictable and ho-hum... and many aspects of her approach to this show made it an overall lackluster performance. In fact, it wasn't until 50 minutes into the show, during which she actually did her own little roast that I actually found it hilarious. Ironically, she was reading from a script.I hope she gets it together, or just realizes what her limitations are as a comedienne. I look forward to her next roast.
