I'm not a huge stand up comedy fan. I'm a fan of the masters of yesteryear, Robin Williams, Bill Cosby, Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, Jay Leno, Jerry Seinfeld...these guys are legends. Sometimes they shocked but they always drew on real life and their antics were legendary. Stand up today is different. It reflects the current culture of comedy in movies where being vulgar just for that purpose is somehow funny. I loved Whitney Cummings' short lived sitcom because it was dry, sarcastic and risqué at times. I enjoy 2 Broke Girls despite its many, many poorly made decisions. This is the first time I've actually seen Cummings do stand up and I was mostly disappointed. Most of her observations about life are not based in any fact and are forced down your throat. You know the old expression "its funny cuz its true"...well I don't think many and certainly not me will get that from Cummings' stand up routine. Most of the time she'd be mid-joke saying "You know when..." and I thought...no...I don't. 99% of her comedy comes from trying to be shocking and vulgar and there were times I chuckled but for the most part it was the furthest thing from "side splitting." I suppose I expected that same level of dry sarcasm she writes 2 Broke Girls with or did Whitney with. That being said I think women may enjoy the routine more than men. My wife loves her and her style of comedy and I think she enjoyed the stand up more than me but at the same time I think she found it a little less funny than what she thought. The Comedy special is brutally short at under an hour and there just wasn't enough to make it memorable. If you're a Whitney fan check it out but I hazard to guess this was not her best work. Its average in every way and with any luck you won't pay money to see it. 5/10
