3rd Most Improved by Rachel Manson is a fun debut stand-up comedy album on Canadian label Howl & Roar Records. Manson is a very personable autobiogracal comic whose material, though not groundbreaking, makes for a solid listen.
Manson opens with a bit on how everyone is on something. Her having her audience call out what they are on is not really new but her punchline is gold. Her take on Lexipro is also fun. Those who are taking something to stay normal will really appreciate this section.
Canadian stand-up comic Rachel Manson is also polyamorous. Unfortunately, she doesn’t really do much with that very rich topic aside from mentioning pretty much in passing. Her take on her being bisexual pays off with solid laughs.
Another solid bit is about being a beard for various couples when she was in high school, resulting in multiple viewings of Marley and Me (the movie where the dog dies at the end). I also enjoyed her short take on working on Hallmark movies and the magic gazebo.
The rest of the Rachel Manson 3rd Most Improved is also very good.
