Her Comedy
Nicole Byer is a stand-up comedian whose voice is brash, silly, raunchy, and truth-telling! Be warned: it is suuuuuuper R-Rated…but when you need some sex humor and silliness, she’s your gal!
One of the easiest ways to check out her stand-up is in her half-hour special as part of Netflix’s Comedians of the World series. In this special, she spends a lot of her time talking about what it’s like to be a fat woman in America–including details on dating and how folks perceive her.
She begins the special with fat jokes that she gives herself permission to tell as a fat person—but she also boldly proclaims that being fat and beautiful are not mutually exclusive. As a fat person, I’m obsessed with how she uses comedy to unpack and goof around with fatphobia!
In fact, Nicole’s upcoming book is bound to be full of more of the hilarious bits that make me love her comedy.
How do I know this, even though I haven’t read it yet?
Well, it’s called #VERYFAT #VERYBRAVE: The Fat Girl’s Guide To Being #Brave And Not A Dejected, Melancholy, Down-In-The-Dumps Weeping Fat Girl In A Bikini.
So, yes…I think we can keep counting on her for fat girl funny business!
