Watch it free on YouTube (opens in a new tab)

Michelle Wolf's first special since The Well (2025). Released , on YouTube.

Michelle Wolf announces early that having a baby destroyed whatever impulse she had left to play nice, and the cleanest payoff comes when she settles an old industry dispute. Halfway through the set, she claims ownership of Kim Kardashian’s 2021 Saturday Night Live monologue, taking a casual shot at Amy Schumer for taking credit: “You know I actually did it, because it was funny”.

Filmed at the DC Improv in Washington, D.C., the 58-minute set trades the sheen of large theaters for a low ceiling and direct punchlines. Wolf talks about the exhausting mechanics of early motherhood, alongside the bizarre trade of writing freelance jokes for celebrities like Serena Williams.

She released the set straight to YouTube in late 2026 to burn off material while actively touring an entirely different hour on the road.
