Iliza Shlesinger's "War Paint" is a stand-up comedy special that premiered on Netflix in 2013. The special was filmed in her hometown of Dallas, Texas, and features Shlesinger performing her signature brand of comedy, which is sharp, acerbic, and often stream-of-consciousness.
Shlesinger, who was the first woman and the youngest person to win Last Comic Standing in 2008, covers a wide range of topics in her special, from the idiosyncrasies of dating to the absurdities of modern life. She also shares stories and observations from her own life, such as her experience with a creepy neighbor and her love of animals.
Throughout the special, Shlesinger appears on stage in full "war paint," sporting bright red lipstick and bold, cat-like eye makeup. Her appearance is a nod to the title of the special, which suggests that Shlesinger is ready for battle with her sharp wit and biting humor.
Overall, "War Paint" showcases Iliza Shlesinger at her best - fearless, funny, and unapologetic in her comedy. The special is a must-watch for fans of stand-up comedy, and especially for those who appreciate a female perspective on the world of comedy.
