Synopsis
Ali Wong: Baby Cobra (2016) is a Netflix stand-up special you can watch online on iFILM. Ali Wong takes the stage seven months pregnant — no stool, no concessions — and delivers sixty minutes of material that is deliberately, cheerfully transgressive. Directed by Jay Karas.
Wong, who is Chinese-Vietnamese-American, works through marriage, sex, money, and the politics of staying home versus hustling in comedy that refuses to land softly. Her bit about wanting to "trap" a wealthy husband while her own career takes off is a good test case: if it makes you laugh, you are the audience; if it makes you furious, you might be too.
Baby Cobra launched Wong from obscurity to household name almost overnight. It is one of the sharper stand-up debuts of the decade — the kind of hour that gets quoted rather than forgotten. Stream Ali Wong: Baby Cobra online on iFILM.
