2 Dope Queens

Brooklyn stand-up showcase that became an HBO special.

Phoebe Robinson and Jessica Williams hosted stand-up showcases at Union Hall in Brooklyn that became a podcast phenomenon, then an HBO special. Their comedy was unapologetically Black, feminist, and joyful in a way that expanded what comedy podcasting could be. 2 Dope Queens proved that the podcast medium could be a launching pad for voices that mainstream media overlooked.
