Most comics save medical trouble from childhood for a heavy late-set turn, but Sandi Benton builds her debut special around a paralyzed vocal cord, an infant tracheotomy, and a backyard game called “It’s an Urgency” that involved field tracheotomies. She brings an upbeat delivery to stories about hippie classes in a barn, a pony’s funeral, and a law office where ten coworkers got pregnant at once on what she suspects was a burial ground. Other bits take on Catholic school prep, hoarding habits, college nicknames, a first love who was definitely gay, and the case for a lobotomy over Botox. Benton, a Washington, DC comic by way of Atlanta who also works in motion graphics and co-hosts the House Hunnies podcast, taped the 46-minute special on September 20, 2025, at Lost Origins Gallery in DC. Comedy Dynamics released the video on May 5, 2026, with a 44-minute audio album following on May 8.
