This is FRESH AIR.
I'm Terry Gross.
My guest is comic Nikki Glaser, and I've been trying to figure out how I'm going to talk to her because so much of her comedy is about sex in pretty explicit language, and that is language we can't use on a broadcast, maybe particularly on public radio.
One of her comedy specials is called good clean filth.
She says that she talks about her privates so much she thinks of them as her publics.
Her comedy is about the pleasures, insecurities, embarrassments and absurdities involved with sex.
Sex isn't her only subject in her new comedy special, Someday you'll die.
She also talks about why she doesn't want to have children, her thoughts on monogamy, her experiences with depression and suicidal thinking, getting older.
Shes 40, and how comics are often afraid of getting canceled.
I think shes really funny watching her work.
Im fascinated by how often she walks the line between incredibly perceptive and potentially tasteless or offensive.
Sometimes I laugh out loud and I start wondering, is it okay to laugh at this?
Thats especially true when shes featured at a roast, walking the line between hilarious and maybe a little too personal or a little cruel.
She made headlines in May at the roast of Tom Brady.
Other people shes roasted include Rob Lowe, Alec Baldwin and Bruce Willis.
Shes been a contestant on reality shows, including Dancing with the Stars, and hosted reality shows including Fboy island and the current sequel, Lovers and Liars.
