Luba Magnus (lubamagnus) is a nonsensical delight on her debut comedy album, Baba Luba. Read theclaremartin's review.
, twee is possibly on its way back into the zeitgeist, thanks to millennial nostalgia and the cyclical nature of pop culture. Maybe you’re super excited, digging out your long-buried owl print dress and Mary Janes, or maybe you’ll bury your head in the sand for this trend., feels like a harbinger of the twee renaissance, beyond being a solid half hour of comedy in and of itself.
Magnus takes to the mic with a nervous enthusiasm that immediately endears her to the audience; the first word out of her mouth is literally “Wowee!” Far from being cloying, though, the comedian makes her set equal parts clever and nonsensical with her creative word play. Magnus explains how deep her love of words runs in the set, throwing it back to her days growing up in the tiny town of Port Colborne, where switching around the letters on signs was one of the few ways to stave off boredom .
Some of the album’s best moments come from Magnus’ crowd work, even though it is sparing. Interacting with the audience, she gives the impression of a kindergarten teacher after hours, delivering jokes about anal sex with the same pep as someone teaching kids about different shapes for the first time.
