Stage Fright succeeds because it oozes authenticity, thanks in part to a combination of Slate’s overwhelming joy and a display of deep vulnerability. ... The result is a heartwarming, hilarious, and revealing hour that encapsulates all the good and bad that have made Jenny, Jenny.
In the end, what “Stage Fright” lacks in polish, it makes up for in effervescence and deeply confessional moments; in the second half of the special, Slate successfully mines topics like porn, masturbation, divorce and loneliness for laughs.
The final leg of Slate’s stand-up does feel like a sum that’s doing its best to capitalize on all of the hour’s many parts; it’s a joke about the moon that’s even better for the time we’ve spent getting to know Slate behind the scenes. As for the rest of it, Stage Fright is a beautiful, personal hour. But I’m left wondering if I needed to know quite this much.
A refreshingly unique, consistently entertaining, and sometimes over-loose special.
