Taylor Tomlinson's previous specials were comedic genius, were Taylor used her history of anxiety, depression and her growing up ever so brilliantly to create a show that wasn't only relatable as she touched many aspects of every-day life, but was also hilarious and comedy gold.
But unfortunately, this third special doesn't even come close to their predecessors. Taylor uses old jokes and repeats them endlessly, and it doesn't take long before you realize that her entire special is about one thing only: dating. And the dating jokes are not even good ones as she rehashes old material. There are very few new jokes thrown in there, but they're not really good.
Interaction with audience was also awkward and weird. I've seen her interact with audiences in many YouTube videos of shows she's done in clubs, and she's actually very good. She wasn't trying too hard and was real, genuine and funny. But in "Have it All" it's scripted and it's painfully shows. There's nothing natural about the interactions, and for some reason Taylor resorts to "insulting" the ones she interacts with, and not in a smart and funny way.
For someone who films their third special, she also seemed very uncomfortable and nervous. She was talking way too fast like she was hurrying or trying to do as much jokes as she can, which also hurt her delivery- which is usually very good.
If there'll be a fourth special, I'd probably watch. I still believe Taylor is very talented and very funny, but she needs to come with new material and be more herself. That's what made her previous shows so good. Here it felt like she's trying too hard, and the end result has left a lot to be desired.
I guess we truly can't have it all sometimes.
