Chelsea Handler: Uganda Be Kidding Me Live is a stand-up comedy film starring the popular comedian and talk show host, Chelsea Handler. It was released in 2014 and is based on her book titled "Uganda Be Kidding Me." The film is a recording of Handler's live performance in front of a packed audience in Chicago. The film begins with Handler making a grand entrance onto the stage in a long, flowing black gown that she hilariously compares to a garbage bag. She wastes no time before launching into her signature brand of raunchy, no-holds-barred comedy. Handler's humor is unapologetically irreverent and politically incorrect, and she tackles taboo topics such as sex, race, and gender with gusto.

The bulk of Handler's set focuses on her travels to Africa, specifically Uganda, and the absurd and hilarious experiences she had there. She recounts stories of camping in the wilderness with her friends, encountering wild animals, and navigating the local culture. Handler's observations are funny, sardonic, and at times a little bit offensive, but always delivered with her trademark confidence and daring.

What makes Handler's comedy unique is her sharp wit and her willingness to skewer societal norms and conventions. She takes aim at everything from airport security to celebrity culture, and she does so with a fearless energy that is contagious. Handler's humor is not for everyone - she can be crass and vulgar at times - but for those who appreciate her style of comedy, her performances are a real treat.

Handler also does a great job of interacting with the audience, often asking for volunteers to come on stage and become part of the act. In one memorable segment of the show, Handler invites a man from the crowd to come on stage and play a game of "Drunk or Kid." The audience is asked to guess whether the man in front of them is drunk or simply acting like a child. This is just one example of Handler's ability to make her shows feel interactive and engaging.

Throughout the show, Handler is supported by a backdrop of colorful set pieces and animations that help to illustrate her stories. The design is simple but effective, and it adds an extra layer of visual interest to the performance.

Overall, Chelsea Handler: Uganda Be Kidding Me Live is a hilarious and unapologetic comedy film that showcases Handler at her best. Fans of her unique brand of humor will not be disappointed, and those who are new to her work will likely be pleasantly surprised. Handler proves once again that she is one of the funniest and most daring comedians working today.
