Oh, how I missed Dana Carvey and his antics! And he hasn't lost his touch.
The act is easily one of Carvey's best and laugh-out-loud funny pretty much from start to finish. As always, his political observations & impressions are spot-on and side-splittingly funny, and he spares no one. His Reagan bit is so good, it actually made me appreciate the late president just a bit.
The only part of the act I found a little weak was his Al Gore bit, which started out very strong & funny, but went on too long and lost its way. Reminded me of when Robin Williams goes on one of his characteristically clever-but-exhausting tangents and doesn't know when to stop! But is was an exception to an otherwise solid act.
The "unorganized" religion bit was one of the best parts of the show and completely fresh comic writing. And don't miss the 'Special Features'; both the deleted scenes and the audience "Q & A" are hilarious. If you're from Northern California or lived there, you'll especially relate to some of his references. But that's just a small part of his act.
As always, Carvey never crosses the line into mean-spiritedness, but easily glides in and out of every impression & expression, reminding us of the huge talent we came to know and love before he left the scene due to his heart condition. It's a bittersweet irony that Dana Carvey is one comic who is ALL heart...

Don't be fooled by Doug Stanhope's onstage chain-smoking & beer guzzling.
With an act filled with very funny & astute observations and dead-on social commentary; Stanhope's neither an aging frat-boy nor a redneck. He's a thinker, and a good one at that. ***Note of Caution: this act is NOT for the politically-correct, faint-of-heart or the easily-offended.
He spares no one and calls just about everyone on the carpet. Far from being a copycat comic, Stanhope has his own unique stage presence & style, which is at once confident & self-deprecating.
As with other irreverent-but-brilliant comics of his kind, Stanhope hits the nail on the head in one acerbic punchline after another with many laugh-out-loud moments throughout, and turns what might have been cringeworthy topics in less capable hands into pure comedic gold.

I just discovered this on Netflix and can't get over how gifted Alexandra Wentworth is as both the writer and lead actor of this hilarious show.
Funny & snappy dialogue paired with all kinds of visual hilarity, makes for a super amusing look into the "therapy" sessions of Hollywood celebs. The guest stars are all deadpan funny & the regular characters each shine in their own nutty ways. Their office interactions are as brilliant as the ones Dr. Goode has with her famous clients & hapless fiancé.
Pay attention to the "art" behind Lola's desk in all its incarnations, including in the opening credits! And don't miss the little hand-written notations in the illustrated opening credits. More Wentworth genius! Warning: The show is *not* for everyone. If you're easily offended by sexually explicit references OR four-letter words, this show is not for you, otherwise, get ready for a wacky ride.
Funny funny woman! ~NN PS: The funniest episode for me was the one with Joel Madden! Brilliant writing *and* acting from start to finish!)
