If Louis C.K. is your film
Hannah Gadsby: Nanette (2018)
Stand-up that weaponizes honesty about shame and identity
(You want jokes, not a raw personal reckoning)
Richard Pryor: Live in Concert (1979)
Fearless taboo-breaking stage truth-telling
(You want modern domestic comedy, not classic rawness)
Wanda Sykes: I'ma Be Me (2009)
Unfiltered adult comedy about aging and family
(You want male midlife angst specifically)
