Filmed prior to the pandemic, the Netflix special features the Boston-bred comedian delivers the witty, candid, and raw style of comedy that is perfect for the current sociopolitical climate.
“With everything that’s going on it’s hard to laugh at anything these days and I get that,” Jay said in a statement. “I just hope this special provides a little break from the insanity.”

In the trailer, Jay tells a story about her and her girlfriend’s experience traveling together before she jokingly adds that her significant other must have forgotten that she is not “a man,” after seeing how much luggage that the hilarious comedian was expected to carry.
