I saw her a couple years ago do a two hour showcase at the comedy festival in Montreal. I brought my friend who doesn't care a whit about pop culture and who probably vaguely recognized about a third of the people she dished. He laughed uproariously from beginning to end, and that was the one show I worried he wouldn't "get" when I bought festival tickets.
We saw her again a couple of months ago, and I was worried during her red carpet hosting era she was drifting dangerously close to Joan Rivers-ville. I abhor Joan Rivers.
Well, we laughed our asses off again, this time for about an hour and 20 minutes. I realized she IS something like Joan Rivers, but with a heart and a soul.
