      I think they should have mic'd the room or added the laugh track like they do for the host and guests. I remember when Ralphie May released a special without the laugh track and it's crazy how big of a difference it makes. We need the confirmation bias of everyone laughing together.

    To those in the comments making fun of her or just making things up.
    Shes not some noob. Yeah, not her best set. But shes been opening for Chappelle, Rogan, Cummings, Stanhope, Jesenik, and countless others for close to 10 years. Shes not some open mic comedian.
    Again. Not a great set. It happens. Especially when your not a clean comic and having to rework material for television.

    • @edjames7954
      @edjames7954 5 месяцев назад

      My only takeaway from this video is she's a murder obsessed whiny millennial. Not knowing her outside of this.
      I understand she didn't get here without showing something more, so it's comforting that even her fans see this set doesn't leave a great impression of her ability. Hopefully her second television appearance has her more confident and knowledgeable about how to pull it off.

    Suggestion to the Colbert Show: take the time, energy and cost to test film newcomers to tv; she is used to preforming in clubs, she needs different sight lines for tv cameras.
    Hope to see you live in the Chicago area. Good luck.

    Every joke seems based in some sort of facet of vapid and toxic consumerism: trucrime trash tv, self-obsession over appearance, fast food junk food and her fat parents, and then pop therapy/mental health. Add in the fact that there aren't any particularly witty or poignant observations, no ironic plays on listener expectations... would a knack for perfect comedic timing save this act in any way? I doubt it. Back to the drawing board I say.

    Ali has that right approach to sophisticated stand-up, not in your face and verging on swimming with J.D. Vance kind of comedy. I thought the tempo was great. Since there are so many stand-ups I think it is important to differentiate. So Ali has a bright future. A certain party had a go at stand-up in Denmark. Some tips for those starting out. Don't have friends telling you they are getting divorced and would you have a pint beforehand? Nor have another friend at the threshold tell you they have a flask of Dutch courage for you. It also helps that you don't put all your material on your phone in case of freezing. Don't by way of warm up tell your best material to the audience outside waiting for you to go up. No not a bright idea. Then all the alcohol hits home as you are on stage and potentially Danish tv. You forget your gags. You frantically try to find the material on the phone. But, to no avail.
