More than two hours of entertainment where she took the audience from a chorus of laughter to serious silence, and via some thoughtful songs back to more laughter. I'm impressed by this thirty-four year old woman who seems to have done so much in her life. Sitcoms, live shows, a book and two children. And probably much more.
The question we pondered after the show was if you need to have had a difficult childhood, eating disorders or experienced some kind of abuse to be a successful stand up comedian. It certainly opens doors to areas that are otherwise forbidden to make jokes about. Have you not experienced an eating disorder and come out on the other side then you can't joke about it. The same goes for bullying, weight problems and dysfunctional relationships.
She certainly put herself out there. But somehow I got the feeling that she still has her integrity. That no matter how much she discloses of her body, experiences or emotions, she has something that is so profound that makes her able to do all of this without selling her soul. Admiration.
