Chelsea Handler: Revolution

Chelsea Handler was a new discovery for me, and I must admit, I had some mixed feelings at first. There was this interesting contrast between what I saw and what I heard. On one hand, I was thoroughly entertained — I'm a sucker for black humor, and a woman who nails it is even better. But on the other hand, there was something unsettling about watching a comedian with a stone-cold face like a cyborg and the icy gaze of a sniper. Still, I appreciated her unique perspective as she cracked jokes from the perspective of a rich, snobbish white woman. It was a first for me, and I found myself enjoying it more than I expected. / Lesson learned: You'd better not wear flip-flops, unless you want to end up in Guantánamo. (22.04.2024)
