Getting Special-ish with Comedian/Director Jessica Watkins

Send us Fan MailIn 2014 comedian Jessica Watkins walked across America as a shtick to get noticed. (You have to have a shtick as a comedian to get a Netflix special, duh.) What Jessica didn't know was that heading out on her own to walk across the U.S. , meeting strangers and relying on gut would completely change her life. We spoke with Jessica about her comedy, her legendary mom, dumb DJ questions, making a documentary, and more in this episode as her film about her 8 month trip, SPECIALish debuts tomorrow on all streaming and on-demand services.  SPECIALish is just the kind of story we need as we emerge out of the pandemic and sheltering in place. There's so much humor and truth as the film unfolds that it's 100% relatable. We loved the film and love Jessica's stand-up.
