Actor, writer and stand-up comedian Cameron Esposito’s career is legendary, from selling out national tours, popular podcasts, TV and film appearances, to the author of a best-selling memoir, Save Yourself. Their 2018 comedy special, Rape Jokes, is considered to be one of the most groundbreaking comedic projects of all time, and will now be available to watch on 800 Pound Gorilla’s YouTube channel.
Filmed at the height of the #MeToo era, Cameron Esposito’s comedy special takes the stage with vulnerability, precision, and fearless honesty. A powerhouse actor, podcaster, and stand-up, Esposito dismantles the idea that comedy can’t tackle the hardest subjects. With razor-sharp wit, they dive into PC culture, Catholic guilt, and the struggles of bad knees, proving no topic is off-limits. With their signature charm and unapologetic insight, Esposito turns personal experience into social commentary, creating a set that’s both devastatingly funny and deeply human. Hailed as a culture-shifting performance, this special doesn’t just make you laugh - it makes you think, and it reminds you that comedy can be a force for empathy, truth, and change.
