Iliza Successfully Spread Her Humor Across The Pond

Iliza Shlesinger opened her European tour in Manchester, and she crushed it.

Witch cackles, snorts, wheezes, and giggles roared from the audience of the Lowry Theater during American comic Iliza Shlesinger’s performance. One moment she is the beautiful blond woman that she is, and the next her voice has dropped to its deepest level rupturing through the mic as she cracks out the punch line of her joke.

Iliza performed the first show of her “Elder Millennial” European tour at the Lowry Theater in Salford (Manchester, England) to a mixed male and female audience ready for a laugh.

With three specials on Netflix, and a fourth just filmed, Iliza kickstarted her first solo European tour. The 35-year-old has been doing comedy for years, as her first Netflix special War Paint dates back to 2013. Since May of 2017, Iliza has broadened her comedic career with her late night talk show Truth & Iliza on the network, Freeform, and her book Girl Logic (released in November 2017). Alongside her brazen sense of humor (she is not afraid to drop the f-bomb), she discusses pop culture, politics, and has special guests on the show.

She commands the crowd with her Jim Carrey-esque animated imitations, gestures, and facial expressions ranging from the damsel in distress to the she-dragon women turn into when there’s no one else around, all while carrying out her own brand of feminism, not being the man-hating type “because then you’re just a bitch”, as she put it.

Iliza takes the reality of the relationships between men and women in an honest manner. She raised the question to the audience, ‘Why do men have to be the ones to go up to women? Why can’t the woman just go up to the man?’, she answered with her hands motioning up and down her body accompanied with, ‘because we did all this,’ in reference to the amount of effort women generally put into their appearance and it is the man’s turn to put the work in.

Iliza’s relatability is undeniable. Region to region, and gender to gender, Iliza makes references to accompany the collective, which is one of my favorite parts of her sense of humor.

If you haven’t already checked her out, I highly recommend doing so ASAP.

She seems to always leave her audience stunned in their seats with her effortless humor. Forget Trump’s America, I vote Iliza.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
