I wish I was alone together with Esther.

If you didn't know Esther before, you'll see her comedy, and a look in to who she is while having some laughs. If you already know Esther, you'll laugh you ass off and want to be adopted in to her family.

I was super happy to see her first comedy special and it far exceeded my expectations. It was unlike any "comedy special" I've seen and interpreted so many... things.

mostly mildly fun

Esther Povitsky is a comedian. This is a special consisting of vignettes of her different stand-ups intercut with her real-life parents in everyday life. A 3-minute sequence near the end has the big actor cast doing a song.

She's cute. She's amiable. Her set is mostly about sex and that has some good shock value. She's 30, but she still looks like a kid. It's mildly funny. One section didn't hit as well. The Lauren Sanchez joke needs to be snappier. It's not that funny to begin with. It needs to go quicker. This is a mildly fun special for forty minutes. There are about ten minutes that didn't quite work. I don't care about the song. Her parents are much funnier.

Super funny, exactly what I expected

Really well done special, and a really unique look into Esther herself.
