Working for a quasi-government company has numerous perks, one being off on Veteran's day. Being a Veteran myself I appreciate this. More so because I love having days off than some sort of loyalty to a company that recognizes the sacrifice veterans make. What did I do on a free Sunday night? I watched the Cowboys get annihilated by the Saints, I gave Maily a bunch of shit Via txt for watching some DVR WB show instead of watching the Cowboys, I saw an Awesome Pun about T-Rex (Tea Rex w a bowler hat and a cup of Earl Grey), and I watched some shitty comedy from a super hot chick.
After getting kicked in the nuts from the Cowboys game I needed some laughter to make me smile. I took a chance on a comedian I had never heard of. It was a huge gamble because 1) It was a women 2) I have never heard of her. I'm not in the group that thinks women aren't funny; Iliza Shlesinger, Amy Schumer, Nikki Glasser, and Sarah Tiana crack me up all day long. I took a chance on Anjelah Johnson and hoped for the best. It started slow. About 15 minutes in I realized if she wasn't a 8 I would have turned it off. She wasn't bad, but she wasn't good. The jokes were the same level my friends make, just a little chuckle laugh. BUT she's a freaking 10 when you add in her personality. Let's check the hot boxes: Former Raiderette- check the cheerleader box, Part latin and part native american- check off the bi-racial box, good dancer check off the can you do awesome hip action box, casual clothing dress- check, not cunty- check. Besides that she hit my trifecta of dark longish hair, hoop earrings, and Nike Dunks (seriously). As a person, as a girl she would be the perfect catch. She's beautiful and she sees humor in every day situations. As a stand up it seemed about open mic level. There was a lot of basic crowd pleasing lines "Where's my Latins at", "Who here goes to church", "Whose flown on a plane before" but the observational stuff and loop around jokes just weren't there. You can see she has a passion for it, but to have an hour special on NetFlix already seems premature. I kept hoping there was more to it and it never became more than an opener trying to work things out. Iliza's cpecial, which is also on NetFlix, blows it out of the water. If you want to see a female comedian who does it like a Pro should then watch her special. Amy Schummer's is also on Comedy Central on Demand so if you don't have NF watch that one.
I'm still craving some comedy so I'm going to Listen to the Joe Rogan Podcast with Joey Diaz and Duncan Trussell. Trusted Road comics with off collar, low brow humor.... that's where it's at.
