Kristen Schaal does her first Comedy Central one-hour special at the Fillmore in San Francisco. She's best at doing awkward girl with deliberate misunderstandings and known as a contributor on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. The special is awkwardly written and not all together successful. A perfect example is the pot and spoon bit. The basic concept is hilarious but she fails to write an ending for it. The best bit has to be the taint monologue.
She walks off a third of the way in. It begins a long slow slide to the finish with the concept that her show is awkward and not quite working out. It's almost experimental theater in nature. The little girl roasting her and the crickets aren't actually funny. It would be odd enough for nervous laughs in shorter segments but when it's this long, it becomes simply awkward.
