    So glad this came up in my feed! What a brilliant set this was, hugely enjoyable and thorougly hilarious. This goes straight to the top of the pile. What a talented comedian you are Jen, thank you for making me smile so very hard with my face. I look forward to seeing much more of you in the future. Absolutely first class 🙏😎😂😂

    I love Jen Brister; I have seen her a few times and found every show hilarious. This show is a real winner for me. I laughed from beginning to end. I wish she were on our screens more. She’d be hilarious on Taskmaster

    @brainbrain542 10 месяцев назад +23

    Amazing closing bit. Wow. Don’t know that I’ve seen something that strong before. I felt she was feeling it emotionally and deeply also. Weird bec I teared up (wet eyes) after that.

    • @charitygoldart
      @charitygoldart 10 месяцев назад +5

      It was a great closing wasn’t it? I saw this live in Norwich & she actually did tear up when talking about her mum. She said “it’s obvious that I’m upset, and that’s ok.” Nothing weird about empathising with this!

    Always enjoy both her comedy and lovely eye candy, but I'm typing before even halfway through the set and she busts out with an interpretation of American posters as a spot on Julia Sugarbaker from Designing Women and I'm dying in laughter and so thoroughly impressed with the skill and intillect and creativity to conceptualize and execute so effectively. I applaud, I applaud!

    Genuinely surprised this special isn’t getting more traction.Your stage presence and commitment to a bit is phenomenal, and your comedy is insightful and relatable. Keep up the good work, and fuck the dudes who bailed after 50 seconds because they have the attention span of a goldfish.

    @user-tc5pl3zw3h 8 месяцев назад

    We don't come to comedy for optimism. We come to comedy to acknowledge real life and take the piss out of it. If comedians aren't honest about our circumstances and successfully desensitize us to their gravity, we remain utterly depressed and unable to cope.
    Laughter truly is the best medicine. And Jen Brewster is pharma-grade funny. Plus a wet T shirt isn't a disappointment.

    Yes!! Awesome Jen!!❤
    Damn, I wasn't expecting the Spanish mom part.. such a great surprise! It was genius and it touched my heart ❤
    Also just wanna say..
    Please don't listen to these people, you don't need to justify yourself and your work
    Keep being the great comedian you are!! (As you are doing:) )
    Honestly this thing about people complaining to comedians is so infuriating
    They are COMEDIANS! Of course they love THEIR children and THAT is what gives them the the right to JOKE ABOUT THEM! fuck's sake!
    This is also what happened to Romesh Ranganathan who said the same thing as Jen and it's pretty obvious from his special that he restrained from doing his usual jokes and he felt like justifying himself.. and that's so unfair and a bloody shame!
    Thanks for your brilliant art and thank you for the (thought provoking) laughs!! We need them!

    • @brainbrain542
      @brainbrain542 10 месяцев назад +2

      I like what you wrote. I’m still trying to figure out the depth of it though. I felt she was really feeling the loss of her mother at the end and now I’ve totally lost it sobbing after what you wrote.

    This woman is hilarious. A shame her yelling a lot of the time but not all the time started to unnerve me and my particular hearing loss and sensitivity. Couldn’t enjoy all of it because of that but still gave a like because she is hilarious without all that nerve wracking energy getting in the way of my enjoyment with my personal particular hearing problems and sound triggering ptsd. Hope to get back to her comedy one day so of course, had to like and comment lol

    I always thought Gweneth Paltro's "Goop" magazine should be called "Floop", since the candle. Incidentally, I sniffed the candle once. If her mommy parts smell like the perfume in that candle, she needs a qualified medical professional to do some investigation. There's a problem.

    The only thing worse than lying to very young children is telling them the truth about everything.
    "No, there is no such thing as Santa. He was a cleric in the dark ages who did great work for poor children. He's dead now. Night night!"
    "No, mom and I were not wrestling when you walked in without knocking last night."
    "Yes, there are endless things to fear in the dark. Sleep tight, muffin."
    "Yes, Daddy is blind, but I can still see everything YOU do wrong. Go and sin no more."
    OK, that last one may have been a lie, but nobody's perfect, and every parent needs their own lore. 55 years later, mine is still in effect, and almost a religious belief with both of our kids. I am legend. But after 20 years of therapy for both of them, now they've decided to just lie to young kids no matter what, and no matter whose kids they are. My daughter is a craftsman with fiction. She told a stranger's kid just the other day, in queue at Target that SHE is the tooth fairy, and she was going to get ALL of the kid's teeth tonight. I blame myself, really...
