Phoebe is halfway down a ladder that had not been bolted down, so Jessica squats to hold it to enable the dramatic use of it. Both are cracking up eyes closed.
Jessica rushes to Phoebe’s aid in support of her ladder-vaulting bout of “Yaaaaas Queen” in which the ladies take turns “Yaaaas”ing dramatically.

These four HBO specials are very funny.  And the best way to enjoy them is the same way they were apparently premiered: in pajamas under blankets, warm and tired and ready to laugh yourself silly.  The friendship between Jessica Williams and Phoebe Robinson is so delightful.  Then they bring in comedians who come out with great sets.  What makes these specials even better is that they’re directed by the amazing, one of a kind, you already know I love her, Tig Notaro.  Enjoy!
