While there are certain people who are going to take some time to wrap their around all the spectrums that exist for identity, it should be noted that the expanding diversity of who comedians are these days had led to many deeply funny bits that we’ve never seen before as opposed to interchangeable bits about dating or taking Lyft/Uber.
Sabrina Wu is delightful, charming proof of this as shown by their set from last night’s Tonight Show. Being Chinese, trans, queer, and pretty good at sound effects amount to a very, very strong debut late night set. Sabrina managed a pretty hilarious contrast of being deeply vulnerable and silly and wove that into every bit of every facet of their identity. It’s an indelible set of, hopefully, many more to come.
