3/10
Great Documentary. Terrible stand-up
31 October 2019
I bought this on DVD and paid international shipping. It's now sitting in my shelf next to ALL her previous DVDs, aswell as both her books, all her CDs and her mom's book, that should give you an idea of how much I used to love her and her comedy.

Unfortunately, Kathy's comedy has been slowing getting worse and worse and this is no exception. I actually saw the "laugh your head off" show live (in toronto) and was shocked to see some of the materials she used in this comedy special, but she left out 90% of the ACTUAL JOKES. THE FUNNIER STUFF. And only kept the part about telling her story post-mask photo scandal and the aftermath. We get it, what happened to her is awful and shouldn't have happened and the president has it out for her (they have history) but this is suppose to be a COMEDY. SPECIAL. There's almost not a single joke in this entire show. She's not telling a funny story, she's not making it funny, it's also a story she's been telling for years now. It's not entertaining, it's not saddening anymore, and it didn't make for a good special. The movie begins with a +/- 20mins. documentary-style video of her travelling the world during her tour. It's handheld cellphone videos (of reasonable quality) and some extended videos of stuff she's posted on youtube. This was actually interesting to watch and made for good storytelling. She could have ditched the whole comedy show and made an entire movie of those moments, this would have been an actual documentary and 100x better (and those parts ate the only reason I gave this 3 stars instead of 0) I would advise you to save your money and not watch this. I used to adore her but she really needs a break and think about going back to her funny light stories that made her so popular (her mom, her sexual encounters, the celebrities being ridiculous) her shows are tired now and it's just sad to watch.
