Man this audience was just not feeling her, which happens but it's not telling of how funny she is. Dry humor isn't for everyone but I think she's hilarious 😂 hopefully she gets more air time

[@cbpd89]

I think they just had the audience mixed too low or they didn't have a mic on them..there was good laughter it was.jusf nigh impossible to hear.

[@A.Rare.Sapphire.]

​@@cbpd89my thoughts too

[@Suzanne4415]

Yeah considering how it sounded from the very first second something else is up w/ the sound. What a disservice to a comedian tho, to put up a clip of their live set and make it sound like they barely got a reaction 😂

[@jimmw0187]

I loved that aspect. I love when audience feels a little uncomfortable and made to think. LOVE HER VIBE !

[@rugr82day]

Her material is very funny but it's like she's focusing on doing her set perfectly. It would flow better if she could tie story telling in. Like I wanted more details of her being her dad's favorite. Idk, I like personalized comedy so that may just be me. I bet she was under a time crunch and wanted to get all of her best jokes. Look forward to seeing more from her.

[@i.c.3933]

"England's cloudy for a reason" I'm sure that joke really BURNED them up xD Get her in front of the right audience so she can really recognize how great her material is! Because I laughed entirely too loud for as late as it is (3:30am)!

[@officaldungeons]

Commemorative coin joke was so accurate. Europeans have always loved decorative legal tender

[@gabriellasukdeo5724]

Ok f

[@ButterflySims]

Don’t forget the stamps 😆!

[@RougeLino]

look how comfortable she is at making them uncomfortable 😂

[@randolfo1265]

That is her favourite thing to do. Nailing white people and making them love you - TALENT!

[@iamnormal8648]

She admitted in one of her skits that it's her joy ride to make white people uncomfy.

[@Blullaby]

I thought it was excellent, and it didn't get the appropriate response from the crowd imho ! But me ? I laughed at loud MULTIPLE times (': ! I had a blast, and I want more. ❤️

[@bitchykins]

They laughed a lot & quite loudly. It’s common for audiences to be mixed down in comedians’ talk show appearances. Plus the mic she’s using is designed to minimize ambient sounds.

[@ireallyreallyhategoogle]

Her set needs a bit more work.

[@CarcPazu]

I've heard most of those tired jokes from other "woke" comedians out there, nothing new. The last joke about England being cloudy for a reason was pretty good though. She has a decent delivery but she would gain a lot by leaving her woke agenda at the door and concentrate on just being funny.

[@Blullaby]

@@CarcPazu Maybe that crowd shared your opinion. And it's fine to have different views. Apparently, 10 months ago, I thought she already did great, so I'd assume changing her views to pander to an "anti-woke" audience wouldn't make sense. Cheers (:

[@CarcPazu]

@@Blullaby Between woke and anti-woke, there's a whole spectrum and the vast majority of sane and reasonable people sit there.

[@zinebhoudair4297]

"Go back where you came from ...England is Cloudy for a reason "😂😂😂😂😂

[@hebakhalid437]

The last joke is gold 😂

[@LuluAthil]

I see an East African name, I click. And I was not disappointed! 😂😂 Well done Ms Hersi! ❤️

[@minamuse3965]

How is hoodo an East African name? The only people who use it are Somalis.

[@LuluAthil]

@@minamuse3965 Somali Kenyans...?

[@randolfo1265]

Hoodo opened for Tig Notaro in Toronto and was fantastic! Glad she's getting more exposure.

[@randolfo1265]

Wish I had seen that, a legend and future legend maybe?

[@podracer35]

This was comfortably good. It didn't have me rolling on the floor or anything like that, but there were some solid jokes in there and that last one was especially brilliant.

[@sunnyboi2461]

The last one and the commemorative coin's one was pretty good Lol. She definitely seemed a bit nervous but she definitely has potential!

[@maazkalim]

Couldn't Have Put It Better! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@humanpersonne]

@@RobertJohnson-bj5lk yeah. I'm sorry about that bud. Honestly. It was a funny joke. But I'm very aware of the horrible climate catastrophe that Europe and the world in general are suffering from. My own city is experiencing record high temperatures and drought like conditions.

Im late to the hoodo comedy train but damn i gotta say this was a good video to just chill and have a good time to🖤🫶🙌

[@nickthaskater]

Sunburn joke was a 10. Need about 75% fewer "okays".

[@tompatchak8706]

A few too many agree

[@TQM]

Okay

[@joycastle.]

The "okays" annoyed me too, but that's really the only criticism I have. She's funny and clever, and I definitely prefer her to someone who steers clear of "okays" but is dull otherwise.

[@MichaelLasotaTW]

Ya know?

[@JerryHatrickShorts]

She’s got a great smile

[@CLYMA1.5CHAINZ]

Love the respone before and after her performance hehe

[@5um0fMe]

A little awkward at the beginning but she had some solid jokes near the end and seemed to feel more at ease. I hope she keeps at it and makes a name for herself!

[@Jo3yW]

Got potential but she said "OK" too many times and laughed at her own jokes too much. Repeating "shenanigans" then moving to the next bit? What is that?

[@TM-wt5wq]

@@Jo3yW not for you then, I loved it

[@bluereign]

[@valeriefruik585]

Fantastic

[@edirishabad8043]

😂😂😂 She laughed more then the audience

[@andrewjohnson6716]

She's really comfortable in front of an audience and in front of cameras, and she knows how to structure material. She has a lot of areas of improvement, but she has every skill she needs to develop those. It's great that you gave her the exposure and opportunity she needs to develop that. I think that she's going to be really good.

[@YeeSoest]

I like this comment because it has the exact amount of backhanded insult and motivational criticism that i was gonna give her. I see the potential, esp the ending...but it's not all here yet

[@bernlin2000]

The "white people" stuff gets soooooooooo old. Seriously. You'll get more nuanced racial comedy from Tyler Perry films, it's just absurd. If you're going to insult your audience, make sure there's some room for them to laugh when they self-reflect. She's pushing a very narrow sort of humor that is simply leaving a lot of people out, especially those who appreciate good comedy.

[@mitcharett2586]

@@bernlin2000 I'm guessing you're White, and probably racist. Lighten up, and learn. She's speaking from her experience, which is that of a Black immigrant. Most comedians are White, and speak from their experience. Be open to hers.

[@timmothycopeland4866]

@@mitcharett2586 how rude. I'm guessing you're a pious, opinionated a-hole. Her "experience as a black immigrant" insulting white people is not comedy. Most white comedians speaking from their experience don't bash black people for an entire set because that's not comedy either. Accusing someone of being a racist because they don't find bigotted "comedy" funny is absurd.

[@krisersn3092]

@@mitcharett2586 it wasnt funny. Itd be akin to somebody doing a joke about how ppl stone women for adultery in Somalia except at least that has some truth to it

[@sergbastian5]

Omg why is there not more content from this amazing comedian?!?! I have watched everything you have on KZbin and, as a Latino Caucasian person, I can vibe so much with what you're saying. White privilege is so real, and the definition of privilege is that its invisible to those who have it. Being privileged means you don't know, and you can never truly know, how other people have to deal with this society. TL:DR As a Caucasian Latino person, I need to acknowledge my privilege. It's easier for me as an immigrant, but this video is so great at pointing out the differences of being "accepted" in this community or not. I've seen my parents go through things I'll never have to deal with. Privilege is too real and I love your comedy for calling it out ❤
