(Daily Mail) Roseanne Barr is returning to the comedy stage with her first special in nearly two decades, and nearly five years after she found herself cancelled over a tweet.
The seventy-year-old Barr’s comedy special, titled Roseanne Barr: Cancel This!, debuts on Fox Nation on February 13.
Clips from the special show Barr at her best, taking no prisoners and taking jabs at woke culture.
Her new special comes as she spoke out against the culture of show business in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, arguing she got cancelled and was pushed from the business while others were welcomed back into the fold.
Barr saw success in her early career doing stand up before starring in the hit sit-com, Roseanne. The show was rebooted in 2018, but after she fired off a tweet some called racist she was dropped from the series and show business altogether.

In a clip from her new comedy special, Barr could be heard poking fun at preoccupations with pronouns, gender identity, and generational divides.
‘These people, they have no concept of reality. They’ve been living in a bubble forever. Asking questions have nothing to do with the real world,’ she said.
‘What is my gender, mom? What is my gender?’ she joked, ‘Your gender is, get a job. That’s your gender.’
Barr, clad in jeans and a denim shirt, paused for the crowd to cheer before continuing.
‘What are they thinking? Ask a – what is a woman? They don’t know that? That one they’re asking all the time. What is a woman? I’ll tell you what a woman is. A woman is me.’
‘That’s what a woman is, okay? A woman is someone who cleans up everybody else’s shit. That’s what a woman is,’ she said.
‘A woman is somebody whose boobs hang down to her knees with a prolapsed uterus from giving birth to five ungrateful little privileged bastards that have never had to work for anything in their whole damn life.’
‘My pronouns are, kiss my a**,’ she added.
