This comedy show was outrageous. I support making comedy about your own struggles, but they things that Caleb talked about were not his to make jokes about. Suicide? Death of a family member? A concentration camp? This was not an edgy show, this was simply obnoxious.
This show should have come with a warning. As someone who has had to suffer finding out about a dead family member over the phone all alone, I could never imagine making jokes about the situation. If comedy is how he gets over his trama, that's fine, you do you, but that should be kept to friends, not broadcasted to the internet without a trigger warning.
Furthermore, the fact that he made such jokes after going to a concentration camp should be abhorred. I have personally been to concentration camps, and was living in Germany when I found out my family member had died while on the phone. I could NEVER imagine joking about such a haunting place. He may feel that as a part of the LGBTQ+ community that it is okay (I am queer too), as it was a concentration camp used against the LGBTQ+ community, but new flash: it's never okay to joke about a genocide.
Overall this comedy special lead to me having one of the worst nights of my life, as I was forced to recall painful experience after painful experience. Maybe if you've lived a life of sunshine and butterflies you'll like it, but honestly, I am shook that it is getting the positive response it has been.
