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.
