As in the title, I only watched five minutes of this "special." I've enjoyed so many Netflix standup specials so I was excited for another female comedian. Very disappointing. Awkward jokes and mostly just the comedian listening to herself talk.

thejdrage25 January 20228 minutes in and I've had enough. I agree with another reviewer who stated that she loves the sound of her own voice. Also, she affects a dialect that is, well, affected. Badly. And not at all funny.
SO glad that I didn't pay anything for this program and only lost 8 minutes of my life. -
paul_haakonsen6 September 2018I was not familiar with Anjelah Johnson prior to finding the "Not Fancy" standup comedy show on Netflix. I do enjoy standup comedy, so I decided to take the time to sit down and watch this, as I might have been missing out on something great.
Well, let's just say that I ended up turning off this Netflix special after just about 20 minutes. 20 minutes of not laughing or being particularly amused in any possible way.
I suppose that the humor of Anjelah Johnson just didn't go well with me and certainly didn't match my own sense of humor. So this was not something that appealed to me. And I have no plans to return to watch the rest of it, or to catch up on any other of her shows, if she have any.
Not amused with this one... -
moniwells7 December 2020No thanks. When you make a joke out of someone's disability, you are lazy and cruel.

TxMike7 October 2015In this one-hour special, her performance taped live in California, Anjelah Johnson returns to the form we are accustomed. She is irreverent and funny, but just irreverent enough. As when she is describing how she would deal with someone so close to her face that their eyelashes became braided, 'I will cut you.'
The first half of this standup routine is much better than the second half. In it she talks about their recent trip to Eurpope and how she coped with the automated seats in first class. She also explains how she brushed up on Europe by watching a movie ... "Taken" with Liam Neeson.
The last part of her routine touches on her famous Vietnamese nail salon routine but instead of repeating it she delivers a few new impressions. Not as funny and inventive as the original but still entertaining.
Angelah is cute and funny with great comedic timing for the delivery of her jokes. I found this on Netflix streaming.
