A pink suit, a quick intro, Feimster’s signature curly hair, a wide smile, and no time wasted are the best ways to describe the initial few minutes of the stand-up special, which are also more than enough to get you hooked.
The comic starts off with an inappropriate joke before she mentions her wife, Jax, and their marriage since 2020 when they tied the knot in the middle of the pandemic.
Feimster knows her audience. While this comedian might not be everyone’s cup of tea, those who invest their time in watching her work know that there will be something they can relate to or at least enjoy.
One of the best parts of Crushing It takes place early into the special when Feimster talks about her honeymoon in Maldives, where being gay is illegal – a “fun fact” she learned on the flight there.
Feimster also spends some time talking about her unique relationship with her mother, following her parents’ divorce. Again, this comedian knows her audience, and the endless laughs after every punchline were proof that anyone and everyone in the audience was having a good time.
There’s almost never a dull moment when it comes to Feimster’s content, in general, and Crushing It is yet another example of the same. Netflix had several stand-up specials in 2024, and this particular one might not have been the best yet, but it has definitely secured a spot for itself in the top 5!
