Taylor Tomlinson: Quarter-Life Crisis (2020 TV Special) User Reviews (28)

Absolutely Funny

[BerkayKuscu · 8/10 · 3 March 2020]

This show is the best answer to those who believe stand-up comedy is men's business. Taylor just nails it!

I should say there is nothing extreme, but it just makes you smile, if not laugh, throughout the show. Her routines are very honest and relatable, always catching you somehow. Very good observations and punchlines. Worth watching for sure!

Refreshing and hilarious!!

[airborne_trooper · 8/10 · 8 March 2020]

I never heard of Taylor and man was she funny. like legit "lol" funny. She didn't use her set to make political or feminist statements and not one time did she set up a joke for the sole purpose of getting a pat on the back. Nearly everything she said was something you could totally relate to and if you couldn't, she has a charm about her that makes her stories fun even if it's something you haven't personally experienced. And even at 25, she has this hilarious cynicism about people her own age that just cracks you up but also makes you wonder how someone so young could be so self aware too.

She was refreshing in the sense that her set wasn't this hour long female empowerment session and hilarious in the sense where everything about her made you laugh; from her jokes, her expressions and movements. If you have an hour, check this out. It's definitely time well spent. Taylor is an absolute breath of fresh air to stand up comedy.

Very good show! A solid 7

I didn't really knew Taylor Tomlinson until this netflix special and I have to say I am pleasantly surprised. A very good show, funny jokes and if you were raised in a Christian family you can totally relate to all the jokes. Don't trust any 1, 2 stars review, this show has nothing to do with feminism, Taylor really did not use this special to make it about that which I think was a great choice and that's why I think she is one of the best female comedian. Totally recommend watching this show! P.S The first part of the show its funnier then the last part but overall very good Netflix special.

HILARIOUS

[belindachang · 10/10 · 4 March 2020]

Not a minute in this special is wasted. I was laughing from beginning to end! Taylor is clearly an incredibly talented comedian and very comfortable on stage. I can't wait for her next special!!

Amazing

[lordchristensen · 9/10 · 4 March 2020]

I did not know Taylor Tomlinson before I watched this special. I do now, and I am very happy about that! Great observations and punch lines delivered with confidence. Absolutely hilarious!

Good show.

[deloudelouvain · 7/10 · 19 March 2020]

There are not a lot of really good female stand-up comedians, it's still a mostly male dominating industry, but every now and then you get some nice surprises. I didn't know Taylor Tomlinson before watching this show, never heard of her, but she's worth watching. Her material is funny, not Ali Wong funny (but she's my favorite), but certainly better than a lot of other stand-up comedians. Since Netflix it seems like there is an abundance of stand-up comedians, which I applaud, so to make it in that industry isn't easy. Taylor Tomlinson has a funny bone, a good stage presence and she's easy on the eye. It was not all perfect, for me there was too much mentioning that she loves her parents, at one point that gets repetitive, but other than that futile detail it was entertaining, and entertainment is exactly what the audience came for and got.

Hilarious!

[angelanwalker · 10/10 · 15 March 2022]

How have I never heard about Taylor Tomlinson before? I only heard about her recently because of her new Netflix special, which I wanted to watch after I had seen this one.

This is the best comedy special I've ever seen. I laughed the entire way through. In my opinion she's on the level of Sarah Silverman, Chelsea Handler, Margaret Cho, etc. I hope to see a lot more from her.

She can do this job.

[REXNE · 7/10 · 1 November 2020]

The beginning was fine, towards the end the mood dropped. A show that can be watched. She also needs to improve herself.

HILARIOUS

[michellecasto · 10/10 · 4 March 2020]

After watching this my husband and I just sent our millennial age kids the link! This is so damn relatable to our lives right now having kids that are 25 and 26 years old and us being in our early 50s. She's witty with storytelling and building up a joke. Throughout she's also cleverly calling people out on their stereotypical behavior in everyday life. Her self deprecation isn't something I would say is degrading at all, it's just honest. We can all related to everything she talks about on some level. A must watch!

it's alright

[golden_fighter_009 · 7/10 · 3 January 2021]

She has her moments, sometimes a joke is being dragged on and on nothing that really interesting of a life so you know scenarios were typical jokes were good the sexual energy is 10/10 if you can watch the trailer it's literally 1 hour of that women in this business should try to move onto something other than their sexuality tho, wasnt that creative sexual life parents sexual life i mean okay i got that try to talk about something else as well

Netflix does it again!

[pausingh · 10/10 · 4 March 2020]

One of the best stand up specials I've seen in a long time. Taylor performed a great show. Combining original, relatable material and awesome delivery. I was laughing the entire way through.

The pace was impressive. So many quality jokes crammed into one special. I'm definitely a fan now. Super excited to see what she comes up with next!

A mix between great and super petty

[backup-50362 · 6/10 · 17 May 2022]

She was honest about being a fat kid and you can tell how insecure and man-hating she is because she has petty issues.

But that aside, pretty funny. Her and Nikki Glaser are probably the only good female comics on Netflix. Problem is, they both grind on the same uninspired, overdone subjects - dating, sex, muh femininity, etc etc.

Hope she tries something new, because she has lots of potential.

Not funny

[stevechams · 4/10 · 12 March 2021]

I read all the reviews and watched it. It really wasn't that funny. There are better comics that have better material. Sorry, just not good.

Relatable

[manticest · 10/10 · 22 February 2021]

She nails it! I was having trouble seeing stand up comedy that wasn't offensive to women until I finally found her. I saw some snippets in the Netflix YouTube account and I really liked her style so I went ahead and watched her, no regrets! It's so easy to laugh with her, when things are getting heavy she makes a joke, and they're always on point and never difficult to relate. All the topics that she talks about are common and everyone's thought of them at some point in their life, also they're so today's topic, never too extra. I think the part that I didn't enjoy as much was when she makes a joke and she waits for the joke to sit through the audience, that by itself it's ok, the problem is when these jokes are done in a row and you have this much space left. Thankfully she moved on though. But in general, a 10/10! I can't wait for her next special.

Another standup winner

[cekadah · 9/10 · 23 March 2020]

I must admit that I had no idea who Taylor Tomlinson is but I will certainly be looking for more comedy from her.

'Quarter-Life Crisis' covers so many topics the average person experiences daily and she shines her comic light on them. She's young, very pretty, talented and I hope to see her talk more about her take on life in the future!

Catch this show!

Funny and enjoyable...

[paul_haakonsen · 6/10 · 11 January 2024]

I must admit that after having sat through the 2022 show "Taylor Tomlinson: Look at You", then I was definitely harboring some expectations to the 2020 show "Taylor Tomlinson: Quarter-Life Crisis", as I happened to stumble upon it by random chance here in 2024, as I was browsing through the Netflix comedy section.

And I will say that stand-up comedian Taylor Tomlinson definitely also delivered with this 2020 stand-up comedy special. It was an enjoyable show, with a good amount of laughs, nicely written jokes and she just has a natural charisma that is hard to dislike.

The contents of her material is good, because it is more than just stupid below-the-belt jokes. She actually has some interesting and entertaining contents to her show.

I was genuinely entertained throughout the course of the 61 minutes that the show ran for, and it is definitely something I would recommend for fans of stand-up comedy in general.

My rating of "Taylor Tomlinson: Quarter-Life Crisis" lands on a six out of ten stars.

Guys can laugh too

[acohen203 · 9/10 · 26 March 2020]

Often when female comedians put out specials, I find there's this stereotype that guys won't find them funny and it's only humor that women will get. (I don't think it's true, but I've found that some people think that)

As a guy, I found this special absolutely hilarious and the humor can be found by both men and women. I assure you. Looking forward to what Taylor does next!!

Very, Very Funny

[Tr-u-mpbilly · 10/10 · 7 May 2022]

Easily the funniest stand-up I've seen on Netflix in at least a year. This woman is hilarious. I laughed from the beginning and laughed throughout. Definitely give this a try, but be careful, this is not for the hateful and miserable.

The laughs

[shipwreckjack · 10/10 · 24 February 2021]

Taylor Tomlinson's comedy special Quarter Life Crisis is one of the best standups ever. Every joke hits, she has excellent delivery and panache, and it's so well done. I knew she was funny but damn, this hour was like art

Incredibly boring

[npagano05 · 1/10 · 18 April 2020]

She sounds like every other terrible female comedian, ie amy schumer. her delivery is nearly identical. no originality, no authenticity. If you want to find tru female artists watch Ali Wong, Chelsea Peretti, Lynne Koplitz, Bonnie Macfarlane.

Funny!

[carinnalowther · 8/10 · 10 March 2020]

Her manerizum remind me a lot of Iliza. But her jokes are awesome and real.

I am a fan for life

[cgilpin-59042 · 10/10 · 22 June 2022]

I saw a clip from this special and immediately watched it. I love and listen to a lot of comics and not only did she hold her own on stage but she had me laughing so hard I couldn't breath. She is relatable and brilliant. Now off to watch everything she has done.

This woman is my spirit animal

[inservioletum · 10/10 · 5 March 2020]

While I would hesitate to say that there are funnier men than women despite absolutely agreeing from what I observe of the world, that men are simply required to be so and the world doesn't require that of women, this is the first time I would name a female not as my favourite female comedian, but as my favourite comedian, PERIOD. No waffle about rights and equality of what have you, just a comedian that happens to be a woman, presenting excellent material in a fantastically genuine and relatable human way. I would give this show eleven stars if I could.

Fabulous raw talent and a long career ahead

[dougcolt · 9/10 · 29 June 2022]

I'm a regressive male pig and not usually a huge fan of female comedians. ;) Not this time! Taylor is an absolutely phenomenal talent who has mastered the delivery of dark comedy in what feels like an effortless way. This is the rare standup special that I will watch repeatedly; it's that good! Taylor is a natural storyteller and I'm looking forward to decades of laughs! Hilarious, tight, and wonderfully paced from start to finish.

Loved it !

[BlackWind-2001 · 8/10 · 3 March 2020]

It's nice to finally see a woman do a stand up show that feels like a stand up show and not a ted talk about feminism. Hopefully Taylor keeps this up and don't walk in the footsteps of Katherine and Iliza.

I don't think this deserve a 4.9 rating but I guess it will change when all the snowflakes find another target to downvote. I had many laughs in this one and I hope to see many more specials in the future... Taylor is now my favorite female comic.
