Rachel Feinstein finds herself in some ridiculous situations courtesy of her ADHD. Because she’s been gifted with a razor-sharp sense of humor, she takes these unlikely, sometimes absurd moments and turns them into comedy gold in her stand-up routine.Rachel is a nationally touring comedian and actress whose newest hour-long comedy special, Big Guy, is now streaming on Netflix, where it premiered in the Top 10.
In it, she talks about everything from her aggressively liberal mother and Facebook-blundering dad to the odd-couple relationship she has with her fire chief husband, who affectionately calls her “Big Guy.” In vivid detail, Feinstein illustrates how perplexing and frustrating her annoyingly neat husband finds her chronic messes.“One morning, I walk into the kitchen and my husband is just pacing,” she recounts. “He goes, ‘One question.
I got one question for you: Why are there three open seltzers? I’d love to hear the story behind that.” And I’m like, ‘It’s not gonna be a good tale.
It’s not like I’m gonna tell you ‘Well, there was blow and hookers and then three open La Croixs!’”Feinstein’s been praised for her “amazing impersonations” (Vulture), “acute observations,” and ability to be “subtly, exquisitely attuned to her audience” (AV Club).
