02/25/2022 Her third special Don Wong is the best but this one is really great too. See more 02/24/2022 Netflix paid this woman real money to be unfunny two years ago. Guess what? She's still not funny, at all, ever, even remotely. See more 07/10/2021 Her material is so raw and funny! See more 04/15/2021 Buttholes, is definitely not funny See more 03/24/2021 Really terrible. Scurrilous it's the word. And a segment about body-shaming? Really? In 2018? We're better than that. I had to force myself to finish it.
