I have tried, I have watched her stuff. not just this one here. it;s just awful. I would feel so cheated if I had actually bought a ticket, I feel cheated now that I have only wasted time.It's difficult to write ten lines of things without just being horribly mean but I guess I will try. Seems to me, if you were to pick say, three other comedians from anywhere on the circuit or whatever you might call it, from any time line between 1950 and 2015 and show them to someone who has never ever seen any stand up in their entire life, that person would be able to pick out this comedian as the worst in the bunch. Timing,material,sound effects, I mean c'mon! how did this even get to the point of going on the road? It;s like the publics being tested to see if anyone can be a stand up comedian or something. Is that what it is? I am guessing I passed and the answer is NO, they can't.

Possible spoilers:"War paint" is the make-up women wear when they go out into the battlefield (the club or bar) to pick up men. If a man said this, it would be misogynist, but with a woman comedian it's okay? What about just plain wearing make-up because it makes you feel good about yourself? I know, we should leave our inner social justice warrior at the door when entering the comedy arena. Maybe I was just not into that type of stuff that day. But I could tell five minutes in that I wasn't going to be a fan. She's good on timing and telling a story. And the animal sounds were funny for a little while (until they weren't). I actually really dug the pharmacist story. The delivery was spot on. But I just couldn't go with her ideals on women dating. Or something about being a loser in the dating world if you have a stump arm. I don't know, I turned it off at a while. She has potential, she looks good and has good timing, and some people can pull off being offensive and still be funny, but she couldn't win me over to watch the entire set.

Iliza had some good jokes but she ruined them with that super annoying horrible dolphin/goat sound she made constantly. It might have been kinda sorta funny once or twice, but it was done TO. DEATH...and then some. I tried really hard to put up with it to hear the material that I actually liked, hoping that for the love of god she would please stop making that terrible terrible sound soon, but it increased in both frequency and irritation. It made me cringe every time I heard it, so I gave up with about 15 minutes left. I couldn't handle anymore. It was just the worst sound I have ever heard. I couldn't take anymore. At a certain point the awfulness of the sound outweighed whatever humour the material had.

Last Comic Standing season 6 winner Iliza Shlesinger makes her major league debut with War Paint and she brings the energy in spades. Looking like Stephanie from Full House who never grew out of a college punk rock phase, she seems in her element here. I remember when she appeared as a guest comic on the season finale of LCS's 7th season, which they were treating as a formal event, and, as such, she wore a dress that she looked so uncomfortable in that it distracted from her set. It was partially because Iliza's a bit of a tomboy and her comedy could be described the same way. While she's been effective in smaller doses, you find yourself checking the time as the show drags on with her dolphin/sheep vocal effect beginning to grate fairly quickly. She does have some decent material that works well with her persona and her confidence and swagger are engaging, so she has plenty to work with as she develops. One feels she might have a few good sets in her.
