[@AdamTheRaptor]

Ok, talking about being single, when she said "I think I'm THE ONE..." I was cackling... the audience dropped the ball on that one 🤣🤣🤣

[@aazhie]

Yes, that was cute and hilarious

[@bukibukurije1]

😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@tracey7093]

EMILY'S GARDEN SHOW IS MY FAVORITE THING EVER

[@cosmicsciencewitholiver7328]

The part about being happily single was hilarious and so true! I rarely miss being in a relationship 🎉

[@keriannmeyers1171]

I felt the same! My fiance died before our wedding 2 years ago and while I miss the hell out of him, being single (well... with a 4yo) has benefits. I can LITERALLY do anything I want whenever I want! I can sew Edwardian clothing for my son and I and walk all over town with a parasol and not give a rats ass what anyone thinks about it (and I'm going to go out on a limb and say that men have not proved to be attracted to this; their loss.) Sadly there isn't much I can do about that first verse of mambo no 5, but hey what are you gonna do?😂

[@bevodonnell1191]

Sooooo relatable, all the way through. I absolutely love this woman I've never seen before. My brain is also a shitty DJ.

[@aislynnmari]

I dunno if she's diagnosed but she's describing afab-autism 🤔 Love her, absolutely great set 😂!

[@ChocolatePheonix]

Same

[@hayleighjohnson1361]

“I’m watching Frazier”😂

[@markwhitman9542]

She's deadpan adorable! Her riff on being single is funny and so true: the paired off are often goofily insufferable and totally unaware of it...

[@miiasiin]

they definitely have a weird premise going on :) now, pairs with children, adding a notch! :D

[@miiasiin]

@Godsabitch single != sleeping alone at night, you poor judgemental jackass :)

[@chrissalem3747]

The most relatable thing she said was talking about being at home watching frasier. 😂😂😂 Facts.

[@Booshkaboosh]

Incredible. Emily you are 100

[@tn1274]

The bit about Spazzy weirdo vs nerds is hilariously accurate as a person with OCD who took all AP classes in high school.

[@sycofya1677]

The imaginary arguments live in my head 😂😭💀 i thought i was the only who did that

[@neen42]

Definitely not 🙂

[@__jadedmuse__]

She’s incredibly funny! 🏆🏆🏆

[@SakeKaama]

That was relatable and funny. Great job!

[@kufitop]

This was time sooo well spent! She's my kinda people. ❤

[@LS-sg8rb]

The oregano necklace made me laugh to tears. What a fun kid.

[@BRawsWife]

Very funny set - laughed out loud several times

[@__jadedmuse__]

Me too! She’s amazing 💛

[@JuaniqueVerde]

The last joke was my fave lol😂😂😂😂

[@gabrielmaroto18]

I thought I was the only one who wrote rap lyrics! Lol

[@NoaLives79]

Yessssssss!!! Thank you Emily. That was on point, and I thoroughly enjoyed it as well as LOLed more than once. I actually guessed the Frasier punchline before you got to it, but it still made me laugh. Well done, sister!!! 🏆

[@jennyjax2471]

creator of Emily's Garden Show!!! THE BEST

[@gemini_hofa5341]

Spot on with the being single bit. My friends are always after me! Lol

[@LycanLink]

Gosh, I love her. So funny, so relatable, so out of my league. 🤣

[@keriannmeyers1171]

Holy CRAP. It's like all my thoughts and memories from high school on bounced into her brain so she could share them with an audience!

[@SpaceyD]

I love Emily! So so funny 😁

[@amazinggrace5692]

Super funny and relatable. At least for me, but the I’m basically her. 💕🐝🇺🇸

[@bho_oho5734]

One of the best comedians I've ever seen online, periodt. I've only been able to seem many amazing comics on KZbin and similar formats. This person got me laughing so hard, I nearly fell out of my chair. Awesome jokes and great delivery. 👍 HOPE YOU GET SUPER FAMOUS AND RICH!

[@O-Slice]

Really enjoyed her set

[@PanOhChocolate]

Awesome show! Great job!

[@angieglover159]

She was so funny right from the beginning. Love it

[@user-gl2ps6ui8p]

She’s so funny!

[@oommdtube]

[@cococabana1932]

[@devikwolf]

One of these days, Lou Bega will release Mambo Number 6, and unlock the gates of Hell itself

[@Lisa_5591]

So hilarious and relatable!😂😂😂😂❤

[@JuaniqueVerde]

[@Cheskaz]

[@robert3758]

Omfg that ending was savage

[@hunterkea203]

Yoooooo i love your podcast Baby Geniuses!!!!!

[@TheOldHippiebilly]

I'd much rather be alone and wishing I was with someone than with someone and wishing I was alone.

[@marygranville7549]

Word

[@freeshrugs63]

She's so very very good!

[@ECLECTICNOW]

That Mambo Number 5 joke is right on the money 😂

[@deborahmichele]

Great set! I've never heard of this comedian before, but she was very funny and relatable!

[@stevensprunger3422]

I know your mom and that’s an incredible exact impression of her

[@planetsophia]

girl you are sooo funny lmao

[@jeanmont]

Great set!

[@bevodonnell1191]

And the imaginary arguments. And miserable relationships. Compromise, highs and lows. Omigod. I'm going to find everything I can on this comedian.

[@lumas69]

Very funny!!

[@jfrsnjhnsn]

Great set :)

[@paultravis3249]

Emily, you are a beautiful treasure and are worth waiting for. I hope you will find what makes you happy regardless what happens.

[@chrissalem3747]

That was my mom when she taught our dog lola to sit. Turned out she wasnt crazy, but it took five minutes of that and then her calling me back into the room 45 minutes later and holding treats hostage... But lola sat indeed.

[@donhalphin9666]

She’s funny

[@loveisbakedbri]

i love this set!!! YOU ROCK, EMILY!

[@SadhviJenn]

That was funny. :)

[@brianburkart]

Spazzy Weirdos Unite! Hey another bay area kid too 🎉

[@Br0nto5aurus]

People in bad relationships trying to convince single people to get in relationships sound a lot like people who complain about their kids all the time trying to convince child free people that kids are great. They're like, "Hey, sorry I'm late, it's hard to get out of the house with the kids. I'm so tired, I don't think I've slept for more than 4 consecutive hours since Oldest was born. Sorry we can't do that trip next week, the kids have school events. We haven't had much spending money since Youngest was born, anyway, so we couldn't go either way." And then when they find out someone doesn't want kids, they're like, "How can you not want kids? Our kids are so great. You'll never know what love is. Your life will never be whole."

[@AK.40.JHONNY]

She smart funny, thats funny.

[@keenenp1997]

Hilarious

[@rhiannablumberg4803]

Great set so funny!!!!

[@micheleboris2851]

Love her! She got shorted by that audience, though 🌹

[@pamd4068]

Love her.

[@BairMendoza]

I’m a contortionist and this is so helpful to send my new students to help them understand how and why stretching works! 💯🤸‍♂️👍🏼

[@fireinateacup89]

Wow, talk about a unique career!

[@groovydancefairy]

Are you Emily's ex?

[@nicoleelston6987]

What does this mean

[@BairMendoza]

@@nicoleelston6987 I was commenting on a video explaining how the brain reacts to stretching and it somehow posted on the next video instead and I’m leaving it here because the comments are hilarious so far. 🙈👽😂

[@Marissa_J]

​@@BairMendoza Legend 🔥

[@OBSDetroit]

“Multiple counties” 😂

[@Psychol-Snooper]

Guys... she's married now. XD

[@stevensprunger3422]

So John Cage has a piece called 4.55 which is 4.55 minutes of silence avant-garde piece and also John Lennon did a cover of that same piece

[@dorian4404]

Great set ! Love her stuff

[@mattjames8350]

pretty durn good

[@MsZephyra]

Started off slow but after the first few minutes, got better and better!

[@BlackStar-hy1iy]

I am curious

[@jessicasager72]

That last bit is going in the preloaded jaw clip for future truth spit

[@chazzersized]

Did she just hit hip hop with a Karen ray?

[@roses2ndborn]

😂😂😂

[@rpa830]

what a way to close a set!

[@zizinnnn]

fraiser is great! also she’d get along well with taylor tomlinson i think❤🎉😂

[@mailesmith168]

Yes but wouldn’t they each want to retreat to their separate caves before long? No shade to either of them…. introverts know how it is

[@chyannehainstock7842]

Original Spice Girl ❤

[@dreamulator]

she's hilarious

[@Gamer_Mama_0611]

19:18 is not something Samantha from Sex & the City would have said. That's something Charlotte would have whispered or something Carrie would have shrugged saying. Samantha would have retorted that they voted for him because he's hot. Samantha wasn't the conservative one, she was actually more liberal.

[@yogachick1955]

!So funny

[@stevensprunger3422]

So if you’re single for a while try marrying yourself

[@ATRTAP]

Her energy and style are perfectly suited for retirement communities!

[@tonightwerideee]

What a pro

[@sonortubelug3853]

God, I miss Norm.

[@Breakable_Pencil]

This crowd was giving nowhere near enough energy! She was fkn great

[@zenclover8468]

Ive already heard it. Its a really great bit, in my opinion her best work. But its tough cause comedians normally write for other things and dont just do stand up so maybe there's other credits to her name i dont knoe about

[@allisonjohns4623]

This was the most white woman set ive ever heard but im still here for it lol

[@Nevermore3.14]

Her maiden name is stoned.

[@nmarrs8539]

I was nerd loner.

[@wayneasiam65]

Magic shows are unsettling. I don't like my mind and sensibilities messed with.

[@A.H.C.]

Turns out we listen to the same station. Sadly, not the hip hop one, but ADHD with DJ Brain. Been trying to change the channel for decades, but the radio is broken. 😅😢

[@Averagesasquatch]

It's nice to see a female comedian do jokes about someone other than sex. Not that she shyes away from it, and not that I don't enjoy raunchy comedy from women or anyone, but it's nice to see something different. I'm always thinking "hey women, you're people too, not just a collection of sex organs". An envelope can only be pushed so far before it's just normal. Good to see something different. And not crowd work. Which can be funny but I prefer to see something that took some thought.

[@xeropunt5749]

3 min & I’m out. bless her soul.

[@ricfig207]

Mostly entertaining bad closer

[@samanthabloom9811]

Hellen Keller

[@sourcetosoul9470]

@bairmandoza I laughed because I thought you meant that our jaws need stretching as this set was pretty boring for me.

[@latoniasmith2401]

I Keep waiting for the funny part.

[@johnwarden3962]

This girl is dryer than the Sahara

[@JohnSmith-cc3ud]

Meg from family guy.

[@marksether2678]

Meh..

[@IsabelBathory]

Not for me, I guess.

[@MrSpunkyflunky]

Timeless Frasier material. Bleh

[@MrSpunkyflunky]

Okay this is mainly early 2010 material, not worth watching today

[@ajp1282]

Shoe wore the same shoes from her other special.

[@obiwan-in-a-pudding2909]

Meh...

[@user-ii1uf7tx8l]

Ummm is this comedy?

[@Quadrupliplex]

lol, pretty rough.

[@petrify4814]

Yes. You can tell because she's saying things and people are laughing. If it's not your type of comedy, move on.
