Iliza Shlesinger: Confirmed Kills (2016)
Great show. Intelligent, witty, playful.
The negative reviews are so heavy handed, and all transparently aimed at what I found to be the best aspect of her performance.
Most of them berate her for touching on serious topics but I think it's perfectly fitting for the medium and her brand.
All of her shows are quite funny and entertaining and if I had to choose this would be my favorite. She's established in the industry and has a fan base so it makes sense that she would "take the risk" of using her wit and exposure to speak about important issues.
If you watch the shows in debut order she steadily exchanges gags and memes for jabs at social constructs. I'm honestly really surprised that the reviews here are so negative, satire and stand up is one of the last fields that isn't censored, bought, and scripted to produce the desired message.
The show is enjoyable, both men and women can find something to relate to in her comedy. You just need to remind yourself that she isn't attacking someone when she speaks of feminism and body positivity, she isn't blaming anyone either. She says quite clearly that every person is a part of the cult of insecurity, we all buy in to it.
But yeah, great show. If she ever came by I would def be buying tickets.
