Yo yo: The 56-year-old singer described herself as a 'closet comedian' before getting up for an 'impromptu' stand up routine. She told jokes about dating a 26-year-old man and her collection of Andy Warhol paintings . Cracking up: If no one else, Fallon found the stand-up pretty hilarious by the looks of things . 'Her three-minute routine was either the biggest bomb in late-night history or the most subversive, introspective critique of superstardom ever broadcast to a mass audience,' The Daily Beast reported. Crushable added: 'Unfortunately this segment just wasn’t funny, intentionally or unintentionally or anything in between. It was just very confusing, and a little sad. Okay, a lot sad.' The Chron said it was filled with 'awkward jokes and forced laughter'. Yahoo went the whole way and said the performance was 'a bomb'. The routine appeared to be rehearsed, however Madonna and Fallon tried to make it look spur-of-the-moment and impromptu. 'Ladies and gentleman, You're in for a real treat right now. An up and coming comedienne, making her stand-up comedy debut tonight, from Bay City, Michigan, the very funny Madonna,' Jimmy said as Madonna re-entered from behind a curtain. 'Thank you, so great to be here,' the singer laughed after sprinting to the microphone. She then told a joke about dating a 26-year-old man who was admiring her collection of Andy Warhol paintings. 'And he goes, wait a minute, you have so many. Did you know the guy?' Madonna said as the punchline and then explained why it was funny. 'So I decided to move up the food chain and started dating a 28-year-old,' she said. Closet comedienne: The pop icon decided to give stand-up a shot for the first time on The Tonight Show . After admiring her Picasso her boy-toy asked if he also painted the Mona Lisa. 'We broke up,' Madonna said. 'I just wanted to say there is an upside to dating younger guys, that is they're really good with phones,' Madonna joked. 'I crack myself up,' she said at one point. At another point, which was perhaps the most excruciating, she said of one of her jokes: 'It's funny, isn't it?' However some commentators said Madge was fantastic. They pointed out she was just having some fun. HitFix called it 'adorable', while Perez Hilton found it 'hilarious'. Breaking it down: Madge also tried to show Fallon some of her dance moves . Madonna joined Jimmy Fallon and The Roots on Thursday night for a rendition of Holiday with classroom instruments . Madonna had recently revealed to Jonathan Ross on his chat show that she wanted to try her hand at stand-up comedy. She added to Fallon that her concert tours are so elaborate and cost 'a billion dollars' to make and transport, so 'no one makes any money'. She said she was drawn to the simplicity of just walking out on stage and talking. In taking over The Tonight Show, she first joined Fallon and The Roots for an acoustic version of her 1983 hit Holiday using nothing but classroom instruments. During her interview with Jimmy told him how she 'was not cool enough' for her kids. 'They remind me everyday how uncool I am. They tell me everyday that I can't be basic. ''Mom, that's so basic.''' she said. She reminisced fondly of her early days in the music business when there were no expectations. The singer contrasted her early years trying to make it New York City to today's artists with social media at their fingertips. 'You had to take cassette tapes to clubs. You had to do shows and perform live,' she said . After the sit-down interview, she closed by performing Bitch I'm Madonna, a song from her new album., Rebel Heart. The performance featured DJ Diplo and a posse of back-up dancings snaking through the halls of 30 Rock.
