This one-hour special, filmed at Joe's Pub in NYC, is a raunchy musical romp through the world of Millennial self-absorption, sex, and privilege. Cohen flies highest when she is singing, with songs that stand on their own musically. The songs especially delight through the wry lyrics delivered in Cohen's beautiful voice with a ridiculously varied range. The shock sexuality loses its impact as the show goes on, but all in all, the breadth of Cohen's skills make this show a highly worthy view.

Brilliant musical standup
Unapologetically Feminine
Very fun and refreshing to watch stand up about being a woman (but not in the form of solely sex jokes) She's real, her jokes are relatable and she's unapologetically feminine. The songs are a lot of fun and she has a beautiful voice. She really reminded me of a self-deprecating alexis rose. Would love to see more of her!
Ps. A lot of the reviews on here so far are from men, so I felt the need to add my first ever review- Please don't expect to watch an amy schumer esqueshow- this is not that type of female-comedy.
Arch funhouse mirror cabaret comedy!
I saw this show in 2018 in cabaret venue and it was spectacular then, and it was the same now on screen. The comedy is a hilarious reflection on the pains of the current culture of narcissism and everyone having 'main character syndrome' or wanting to have it. Her voice is gorgeous, flexible and clear. The opening song is almost a thesis statement for the entire show. She is a victim of herself, and presents her unhinged spiralling with espirit and does self-deprecation in a new way that I have not encountered before.
It is odd to read some of the other reviews here, saying the she has a bad voice, because that is blatantly false (and makes the reviews seem entirely disingenuous). Also I wonder if these reviewer have ever been to a cabaret, if they understand the tradition she is working within is not stand-up. It is cabaret! Cabaret is bawdy, that is one of the main features, a shock for the puritanical undercurrents that persist in American society. Cabaret is gleaming, liminal, glittery, grubby and funny; and Catherine Cohen imparts these tones gorgeously.
