Eleanor 2.0 takes to the stage looking sassy and confident, and in an American accent she delivers in-your-face, risky material. Eleanor 2.0, however, is just one part of this show as she soon reverts back to plain Eleanor, explaining that she's not happy with her new character but these are the things you have to do to get spotted.
As the show goes on she slips in and out of her alter ego, each time explaining more and more how she's not enjoying the new character including the way she acts and the way she dresses. She loses more and more of the fake persona each time until Eleanor 2.0 is barely even visible.
This show points fingers, not just at the comedy industry but at life in general. The show is all about sexism and how male comedians have a much easier time in the industry.
I was unsure of this shows ending and feel as though it could have been improved. Overall, this is a good watch; entertaining, thought-provoking and informative.
