In a new Netflix comedy special, the comedian doubled down on using transgender people as a punch line.
Gadsby has brought seven comics together for the special, which drops March 5.
The gay cast member appeared less than pleased to share the stage with the controversial comedian known for making transphobic comments.
“I don’t know what doll hurt Dave Chappelle. I really don’t. But it’s giving disgruntled client.”
The out comedian also voiced her support for the trans community.
The trailer just dropped for what Gadsby promises will be "a feel-good show," premiering May 9.
On the same night that an out transgender woman made Grammy history, the reocrding academy rewarded the comedian's transphobic content.
