Hannah Einbinder: Everything Must Go

I think I would have enjoyed this more if I knew it was more a one-woman-show than a true stand-up act. I felt myself wanting to get to see more of her humanity because of that, wanted her to loosen up a bit and be more conversational, but I don't know if that's what she was going for. This show felt better suited for a black box stage than a comic special. I love Hannah in Hacks. She's new on the scene, definitely talented, and is already challenging herself to break the formula here, even if it didn't entirely hit the mark. I sense she's finding her voice as an artist and this is a stepping stone in that journey. Good for her xx

**Hannah Einbinder: Everything Must Go – 2.5 Stars** Got this one recommended to me, so I went in curious—always fun to check out new comedians. But honestly? This felt less like a stand-up special and more like an extended acting exercise with a side of activism. Climate change, feminism, understanding women—it’s all important stuff, but when half the set feels like a TED Talk, it’s hard to stay engaged. That being said, Einbinder *is* talented. You can tell she’s a much stronger actress than a stand-up comic at this stage, but there’s definitely potential. A few jokes landed, a few chuckles here and there, but nothing that really stuck with me. It felt like she was testing the waters more than delivering a polished hour. She could be big in a few years if she leans into her strengths, but for now, it just wasn’t my thing.

Hey, comemdy is hard. But I really liked her TV show, hacks. Best of luck to Hannah. Maybe standup just ins't her thing.

I had to turn this off from second hand cringe :(

“I am bisexual. And I would argue that upwards of 90% of all comedians get on stage and talk almost exclusively about the difference between men and women. But how many of them actually know? I am in the trenches! I am collecting research! I am gathering data! I’m risking my life! And I’m here to tell you, folks, that the results are in- men are idiots and women are annoying. The battle of the sexes is a draw! Fuck you! And fuck you!” - Hannah Einbinder

Screw every butt hurt humorless BOY that rated this poorly and almost made me miss it. It was a great show from start to finish but her impression of the moon was my personal fave.

The absolute worst comedy i ever saw. Worse than amateur hour at open mic. Go back to acting your material is old and has been done by better comics than you will ever be. She needs to educate herself about comedy. I watched 10 minutes of this boring opening and fast fwd to more of audience Claps and hollers to bland pitiful comedy. Go back to acting you are not a stage comic... would give 0 .

This was a tough watch. She was great in Hacks, but the lack of a consistent voice/perspective, the general reliance on her being “too in” on the joke, and the forced ‘waiting for laughs’ pacing is taxing. It feels like an open-mic performance art at a community center. Her confidence is amazing, but the content and delivery is … a first try … Get that paper — good on ya for getting an HBO special

Watched because I like Hacks, but I couldn’t suffer through the whole thing. Strike while the iron is hot, though…milk HBO while you can, because without Hacks nobody is going to throw money at your “comedy” show.

"Hannah Einbinder is absolutely brilliant!! Flawless fantastic set! Hilarious and highly recommend!!"
