As a comedian I'd just like to say thank you to everyone who considers themself "Woke", supports modern inclusivity initiatives and still tolerates/enjoys dark humour and politically incorrect comedy.
Bella: Hey, that lawsuit with my neighbor is still dragging on, and my neighbor just subpoenaed all my emails from college that mention him or the lawsuit.
Ivy: Well, that's crazy, but why are you calling me?
Bella: Because you should be concerned.
Bella: I have an email here from junior year were I wrote "hey guys, I'm gonna miss lab today because I have to meet with my neighbor about that lawsuit."
Bella: And you replied: "Hey, do you want me to kill that guy for you? Cause it sounds like he sucks and I will totally kill that guy for you. Okay, see you at improv practice."
Ivy: Of all the sentences in that email I would be ashamed to have read out loud in a court of law, I think the top one is "see you at improv practice."

This June, enoy an amazing LGBTQ+ icon and have a laugh.
All her specials are available on tubi for free (no account set up needed)
Dressed to Kill, considered her most known and best special is NOT available on YouTube
