Nanette is more an angry speech by a clever and witty person than the "comedy special" it's made out to be.
I mean she starts out by saying she is quitting comedy.

I don't recall Carlin ever playing up self-pity. That's the part, for me, that's hard to watch.

their first one quite good and thought provoking. The fact that this person had the gall to make a second one after all the talk in the first, the words sellout and hypocrite are not enough.
Did you watch the second one?
