11 Netflix Stand-Ups To Watch
Terry Richardson

A night spent watching a stand-up comedy special can go one of two ways. You sit down with your roommates, and after 20 minutes of browsing Netflix you finally decide to put faith in one random comedian none of you have ever watched before. In the first scenario, you’re hooked from the intro, laughing at all the comedic pauses and turning to your friend every few jokes saying, “that is so true.” But, in the other scenario, you end up watching about 35 minutes of some stand-up, chosen at random, that you’re just not clicking with, forcing laughter and wondering if the other people in the room actually think this is funny.

Wouldn’t you have loved to have a few suggestions at a time like that? Well, here you have it, folks -- according to my not-so-expert opinion -- 11 Netflix stand-up specials that won't disappoint.


11. "Women Who Kill."

Featuring Amy Schumer, Rachel Feinstein, Nikki Glaser and Marina Franklin. Whoever said female comedians aren't funny has never seen this special.


10. "Anthony Jeselnik: Thoughts and Prayers."

This guy does not believe in the phrase, "too soon." I don't know if I'm laughing because it's funny or because I feel so awkward after whatever he just said. Either way, I'm laughing.


9. "Chris D'elia: Incorrigible."

The comedian that laughs at his own jokes, but you love it.


8. "Kevin Hart: I'm a Grown Little Man."

Classic Kevin Hart.


7. "Jim Gaffigan: Mr. Universe."


Just the perfect level of self-deprecation.


6. "John Mulaney: New in Town."

You're going to relate to this, even if you won't admit it.


5. "Bo Burnham: what."

Quite possibly the strangest one-hour program I have ever watched. "what." is far from your usual stand-up experience, but Bo Burnham is comedic gold from start to finish.


4. "Zach Galifianakis Live at the Purple Onion."

This is exactly what you would expect a Zach Galifianakis stand-up special to be like -- hilarious and slightly uncomfortable.


3. "Demetri Martin: Live at The Time."

Demetri Martin is the kind of comedian that says everything you're always thinking, and who doesn't love that?


2. "Aziz Ansari: Buried Alive."

Of all his stand-ups available on Netflix, Aziz Ansari's "Buried Alive" takes the cake.


1. "Louis CK: Chewed Up."

Louis CK reiterates every negative thought you've ever had, but in the funniest way possible.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
