Iliza Shlesinger's stand-up special is one of the better female stand-ups around. She is able to deliver laugh after laugh without resorting to the same sexist or sexual content that so many other women seem to resort to in order to be successful. The only weak part, in my opinion at least, was that she seemed to use way too much vocal sound effects. Sure, sometimes it actually added to the bit or the punchline but more times than not it just detracted from it. It actually got somewhat annoying at times as well. It seemed to me that she had never run that by people because I'd imagine someone would've told her something. Nonetheless, the material is great but the execution could've been better.
Iliza Shlesinger is a breath of fresh air. She delivers quick-witted, observational humor, interspersed with rapid-fire stream of consciousness references that can be a challenge to keep up with so keep that remote handy because you might need to rewind every once in a while. As for the "goat" noises, here is my take on that. They are sheep noises, not goat noises. Why does that matter? Because, I noticed that when she does them, she is making fun of people who don't think for themselves, i.e., sheep. I'm only giving her 6 stars because her later shows are so much better.
