appearances. Her 2015 special, Not Fancy, combines her signature brash

style with fresh new stories. Her "I will cut you" bit, below, sums things up
beautifully. Streaming on Netflix

Christina P: Mother Inferior (2017) Christina Pazsitzky takes on
motherhood specifically with this refreshingly candid special, addressing
issues like giving birth, getting older, and her own personal childhood. "It's

kind of crazy when you think about it: how much it takes to make every one
of you," Pazsitzky says to her audience at one point. "And I gotta tell you:
Most of you, not worth it." Drag me, please. Streaming on Netflix

Cristela Alonzo: Lower Classy (2017) Alonzo gives her goofy,
sarcastic take on everything from rooting for a losing sports team to Latino

stereotypes to her relationship with her mother. If you miss Alonzo's gone-
too-soon sitcom, Cristela, then definitely check this out. Many of the
elements that made her show funny are in this stand-up special. Streaming
on Netflix

Tig Notaro, Boyish Girl Interrupted (2015) Notaro's dry sarcasm

and minimalist style is a welcome reprieve from the slew of stand-up
comedians who think "bigger is better." On Boyish Girl Interrupted, she
comments (with her signature deadpan) on a variety of subjects, including
her breast-cancer diagnosis and the death of her mother. The latter topic

was the subject of Notaro's amazing but short-lived Amazon show One,
Mississippi. Available to purchase on Amazon Prime Video

Iliza Shlesinger: Confirmed Kills (2016) Shlesinger may take a few
unwarranted jabs at beloved Disney princess, Ariel, in this special, but that
aside it's a hysterically good time, covering dating, family dynamics, and

everything in between. Only watch the trailer, below, if you want to know
the context of "confirmed kills" before checking out this special. Streaming
on Netflix

Leslie Jones: Problem Child (2009) Before she was slaying our lives
weekly on Saturday Night Live, Jones was a stand-up comedian refining

her signature irreverent style. Her pre-SNL special Problem Child sums up
that aesthetic to a tee, diving deep into sexual politics in a hilarious,
unfiltered way. Available to rent on Amazon Prime Video
