Ali Wong: Baby Cobra
Seven months pregnant and still saying the thing no one says out loud. Ali Wong made miscarriage something you're allowed to talk about. #BabyCobra
Who it's for
Wong performs the hour visibly seven months pregnant, which changes how the audience hears the riskier material: her body is proof that the story continued.
