The events in the news recently have me feeling worried, sad and less than hopeful.

I am all about confronting the truth about the serious problems we face as humans and trying to help solve them.

But sometimes distraction and avoidance can be a healthy way to cope with news induced stress.

One thing I like to do to distract myself is by watching comedy specials.

This month I want to recommend three women comedians I like – all on Netflix.

*Disclaimer – the language and content may be offensive to some viewers!

Sarah Silverman – A Speck of Dust.

This 2017 special is labelled both Raunchy and Dark Comedy so ya. But I absolutely love Sarah Silverman. She talks about reproductive rights and Barbie and other feminist issues.

Katherine Ryan – Glitter Room. 

This young woman is from Canada and I had never heard of her before I watched the special. She is still pretty sassy but maybe not as political as Sarah Silverman.

Whitney Cummings – Can I Touch It? 

This is her fourth Netflix special and Whitney gives us her take on sex robots. And she has some good points 🙂

what are some of your favorite Netflix specials?
