Julia Scotti Stars in a Documentary
Out trans comedian gets personal as she refl ects on her career
BY CHRISTOPHER BYRNE
Comedy is often, and simply,
telling the truth in
surprising ways, especially
stand-up comedy.
When it works, an audience connects
with a comedian’s authenticity,
and it opens the door to a
deeply shared laugh at the human
condition.
For comedian Julia Scotti, the
path to authenticity was transformational
— and a path not often
taken. She said she realized she
was a woman in her late 40s, a
realization that began the process
of returning to comedy and beginning
the most productive creative
period of her life.
Her journey is chronicled in a
new documentary, “Julia Scotti:
Funny That Way,” available on
