Amy Schumer: The Leather Special (2017) Reviews

• Swing and a miss!

  I enjoyed her shows before, but Schumer was neither funny nor insightful in this special. A huge swing and a miss. With the exception of the gun riff, she relied on old material focused mainly on her smelly body parts. Maybe that is why none of the big premier pay channels picked up this special. Netflix will have to do better in the future choosing streaming material.

  Jaysus that was awful. I've sat through some pretty bad comedy before, on screen and in person, just to find the few nuggets of gold scattered throughout it, something to laugh along with. There was nothing here. Not a thing. Time to rethink the direction you're going in Amy, unless you want to only cater for a tiny minority of people who both agree with you and enjoy seeing these things mocked. And that number is getting smaller every year.

• 57 mins of Amy making sure everyone knows she is a slut.

  A lot of comedians do have a recurring joke between specials that they may talk about for 5 minutes or so, but Amy Schumer does this for the entire special. Its no wonder she resorts to stealing jokes, her only original joke is that she is a gross slut (her words). Hard to give this a good rating when these are also the same jokes during her other performances.... For a person working in a creative field i see no creativity, she has given her critics so much ammo with this special. I have no more words, you will know what I mean if you watch it.

• Just awful (overstatement)

  Amy needs to rethink her career choice of stand-up comedy and stick with material that somebody else wrote for her. This stand-up is not funny or entertaining at all. There are some female comics I really enjoy that can pull off raunchy comedy with a lot of humor. Amy was just raunchy to be raunchy and not funny at all. After watching this I felt like Ace Ventura after he found out Einhorn was a man. Had to vomit, burn the clothes I was wearing, try to plunger the show out of my head, and just sat in the shower trying to wash this show away. So bad. So awful. Doesn't even deserve 1 star.

• Can never get that time back

  She used to be funny but this "special" is beyond awful. I was at one point embarrassed for this young lady as it was so unfunny and at times very awkward. She has had shows that were funny but this is not one of those. If you want to watch a good comedy special SKIP this one because that is time you'll never get back!!
