A trailer has dropped for Michelle Wolf’s upcoming standup special, “Joke Show.” In it, the “Daily Show” alumna shares a story about seeing otters and documenting the experience on Instagram, “because that’s how you prove that life happens.” Not all of her followers were as delighted by the otters as she was.
“My husband told me that otters rape baby seals. I just thought you should know,” a stranger commented. “You don’t know me!” Wolf exclaims from the stage. “Maybe that’s why I like otters. What kind of weird fairytale animal sex happens in your head?”
According to the special’s synopsis, “Joke Show” “dissects the differences between men and women, explores gender equality, explains why society should be a little ‘less’ woke, and more, all the while, constantly defying expectations.”
“Joke Show” drops on Netflix December 10. Wolf hosted the streamer’s weekly topical show “The Break with Michelle Wolf” for one season in 2018. “Joke Show” marks her second special. Her first, 2017’s “Nice Lady,” aired on HBO and received an Emmy nod.
