Comedian Ali Wong is a force to be reckoned with.
Ali's first Netflix special, Baby Cobra, was such a success that she is back for another round to share her unique and hilarious comedic style.
Her new comedy special is titled Hard Knock Wife, and considering she is pregnant while performing her stand-up, it was appropriately released on Mother's Day May 13.
What’s so great about comedian Ali Wong is that she’s able to joke about pretty much anything, even if that makes her comedy a little tongue-in-cheek.
Pregnancy, sex, feminism — NOTHING is off limits to her.
But instead of making it sound like she doesn’t care about these topics or that she’s just joking about them to make her audience laugh, you can tell that she really does care about all these things — as well as making sure her stories and experiences are entertaining.
She's already feeling the love from fans on Twitter for her new Netflix stand-up comedy special, praising her for her hilarious and honest observations on motherhood.
