Riding That Goat Burn. Well Done
nick-scobee12 May 2024
Nikki Glaser was the highlight of the Tom Brady roast. She was able to quickly gather the devil's angels to make bank on this newfound fame. And it's deserved.

She has been incredible for years, and she is about to be a huge comedy movie star.

If I had $100k I would invest it on her next movie that no doubt Kevin Hart will be the Executive Producer.

She will probably have a sitcom as well on HBO. Something about a single woman who doesn't want to have kids. All her friends are having kids, she will have a friend who is with her but then commits suicide. Oh, wait that's Fleabag.

Good for you Nikki, I hope you don't fly too close.

Another Funny One
tkdlifemagazine16 May 2024
Nikki Glaser is a very funny comedian that trades off her sexy persona and her sexual openness . This special is very good. It is not her best work, but it has some very funny moments. Glaser is, seemingly, very open and that is her charm. I say seemingly because it is unclear whether she really is the wild, sexually open person she purports to be, or it is just a hysterical character. I am guessing the latter more than the former. There are many cringeworthy moments intentionally caused by her and much like the style she uses in her Roasts. The special is tight and has many call backs and good stories. She is fun to watch.

High energy Nikki Glaser doesn't disappoint

Warning: Spoilers
I've watched her over the years in other specials and enjoyed all of them. She's a very funny, high energy chick who tells the truth about sex and being female, aging, etc. It was a great special, I laughed out loud several times. What I enjoyed the most was how she injects herself into some of these bits, she's always hilarious but sometimes she's even a little soulful in this special. Her suicide bit I understand and did not take offense to even though I've lost my brother and best friend to this. I thought it very brave of her to speak about her own depression experience. I don't offend easily though, no snowflake here - so I get it if others may be offended...please don't be, the whole point of laughter is to heal. I think this was tied as her best - this one and her older special "good clean filth". I'll enjoy watching her more as she ages too, because life is full of funny and Nikki is a master at finding it.

Best stand up I've seen this year
pdib-5603816 May 2024
Look, Haters gonna hate, Conservatives gonna hate, People with a bit of logic gonna love. I cried, I laughed, I had tears in my eyes in the end, it was the best rollercoaster I've ridden in a while now.

Nikki is great and deserve more success than she already has. I've enjoyed every second of the show. Those who hate this kind of comedy are going to die very disappointed one day, I feel sorry for them, maybe not.

I wish Nikki will do more stand ups or movies soon, I would be first in line to watch them.

My 2 cents: watch it more than 1 time, you gonna discover more gems that you missed in the first time you've watch it.

Insensitive and Cringey
readg-2883922 May 2024
It's not a comedian's job to be sensitive. However, it felt like in this comedy special, she went for the low blow of shock to make people laugh, and even so the audience response wasn't great.

I found her abortion comments distasteful to say the least. If I were a woman actively struggling to have kids, those comments would be even worse. Of course it was hyperbolic, but it still seemed too far to verbalize at all.

I understand that comedy is an outlet to examine the self, and it is a career that has to make a living. Just...maybe not all stuff that comes to mind should be written into your set.

It was one of the best stand ups I've ever watched!!!

I don't enjoy female comedy to be honest but Nikki been improved so much and she is living her best life and well deserved!

Relatable, funny, critical and at the same time great delivery! Well done!

27 minutes
darylmcfee12 May 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I watched the first 27 minutes. I might have laughed once. Perhaps I will revisit it after she does "blow her head off". Her words, not mine.

I've only seen her in reels or the Tom Brady Roast. Sure, those have some humorous moments, this special was severely lacking in comedy.

The one redeeming quality is the sixty minute runtime. If this performance was stretched any longer it would qualify as torture.

Her are some positives: she has nice legs. She is smart enough to avoid heroin. She did make a good point about putting a dog to sleep while extending a person's life despite the cost. However, I don't consider that funny.

Maybe she was setting it all up for a rip-roaring second half, but somehow I doubt it.

Look Past Brady Roast
dapatte17 May 2024
Her performance on the Brady roast was good .... for a roast. But her new special is on the other end of the spectrum. She rambles on about kids forever. Beats her perspective to death without getting a real laugh. I mean, her laugh track does work fairly well.

If you are looking at witty comedy look elsewhere. It's just bashing-style comedy and facial gestures in order to solicit a laugh. I mean, it will work with the "I need comedy right in front of my face" crowd, but with people who are looking for wit and timing you will not find it here.

I honestly thought she would have progressed at this point, but she's going after the obvious observations. Maybe try her next one, but I'll save you the time I'll never get back ...skip.

NOT FUNNY
daphmartin25 May 2024
After seeing Nikki on the roast for Tom Brady I thought she would be great. Unfortunately that is not the case and her SOMEDAY YOUR GONNA DIE comedy special on HBO was awful. What a let down. The no kids into whe t way too long, the jokes were just NOT FUNNY. Period. Fire the joke writer and if that's you Nikki, you're screwed. Cause you're not funny at all. The delivery was ok but the writing was awful. I watched this only because I enjoyed Nikki on the Tom Brady roast and now I know I'll never watch another kne of her shows again. It was just not funny.

After seeing Nikki on the roast for Tom Brady I thought this show would be much better, I was wrong..

Comedy for old people.
seven-johnson13 May 2024
Glaser demonstrates her cutting edge comedy by doing material from ~20 years ago.

Speaks like she's done meth, would rather listen to her after she'd done 50+ xanax and a few bottles of wine to wash them down - because she's the "cool aunt", you know - the one you avoid.

I'd be super interested to know the production details of this special, credit to the technician dubbing in laughter and cgi-ing the backs of audience heads. I suppose it's cheaper if you hire a theatre just for the day time. On the subject of economics, save yourself some time. Don't bother, you only have laughter to gain. Oh, she talks about her genitalia as well.
