Stand-up comedy performances are often created by a healthy monologue, which is based on a thorough observation about human emotions, reactions and often tends to aim a jibe at the dysfunctionalities of the society, irrespective of the borders. Here are a few stand-up comedy shows you can binge-watch this weekend. Read the list:
Ali Wong- Baby Cobra
Ali Wong’s acts come as a breath of fresh air for a viewer, who is tired of hearing a man speak about his work issues, his ‘not-so privileged’ life and physical needs on stage. Through her acts, Ali Wong beautifully manages to convey the issues women, sexuality and motherhood, however, wrapped in funny rib-tickling instances from her life. Take a look:
Chris Ramsey- Approval needed
Chris Ramsey’s materials are mostly infused with the society’s take on homosexuality and the process of giving auditions for a budding actor. More so, the comedian also jokes about women and the dynamics of marriage, without coming off as a misogynist and sexist. However, Chris might not be the correct choice for a viewer, who expects a meaningful, provocative comedy, which leaves one with afterthoughts, as the comedian’s style is mostly sardonic.
