“a stunningly beautiful portrait and meditation on having purpose and drive in comedy, art, and life.” - The Comedy Bureau


“Not only is the work a comedy special, but it’s a form of entertainment wrapped up in a journey of reflection, personal growth, and self-actualization.” - Comedy Cake


“Brilliant, talented, funny, charismatic, charming, and beautiful… I can’t wait to see what Jessica does next!” - Corriente Latina

“Specialish is both a funny and emotional look at a comedian who did the impossible to get her gimmick out there. Jessica Watkins literally walked across the country and proved herself to be both a funny woman and a human being who had suffered and have the determination to not give up despite all obstacles. Definitely a film worth checking out.” - World Film Geek
