What I liked

Her portrayal of the various people (nurse, psychiatrist, et. al.) she had encounters with was totally hilarious. Her audience engagement into kind of a game show question and multiple choice answers brought even more pep to the crowd.

What I didn't like

Nothing that I could comment about.

My overall impression

Sharing her real life experiences and infusing humor into it must have been really tough to deliver but she nailed it and I was completely impressed. Any of the three D’s she covered (death, depression and divorce) must have resonated with some of her audience; it did with me, and I was able to relate to her emotions. And yet, beyond that, she was able to bring us back into laughter, which I believe, is not an easy thing to do. Hands down awed and dazzled. In my opinion, this is worth showing to a much larger audience.
