Comedian Natasha Leggero usually makes headlines for her hilarious jokes, comebacks, and overall great performances. She definitely pushes boundaries with her work, but the gorgeous comedian decided to push the envelope - hell, she opened the envelope! - by taking her shirt off onstage over the weekend.
According to TMZ, she popped her top off while performing in Los Angeles. During her show at the Hollywood Improv, she improvised her jokes by letting her jugs out for the full crowd to see. That lucky audience! They had the pleasure of hearing jokes, seeing her in person, and THEN seeing her breasts. That has to be one of the best live comedy show experiences ever.

Is anyone else getting a little bit of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel here? In the pilot of the Amazon Prime series, Rachel Brosnahan took off her top in front of the audience while performing standup comedy for the first time. Since that series took place in the 1960s, Rachel's Mrs. Maisel character was swiftly taken to jail...where she met legendary comedian Lenny Bruce.
While I don't think Natasha was doing an ode to Mrs. Maisel, I did think this parallel was skinteresting.
Natasha posted the pictures on her own Instagram - with some censorship, of course. Natasha brought up a good point in one of her posts about this: if the men on the show can take their shirts off, why can't the female comedians? She shouldn't have to be censored for letting her chest get some stage time. You all know that I wholeheartedly agree with that.
The lovely Natasha has starred in the sitcom Another Period where she and her co-star Riki Lindhome got into a lot of hilarious antics while having their hooters stuffed into old-tomey corsets. It was a very clever show as the format was a reality TV-style mockumentary series that took place in another era, an era before cameras. It was very daring and funny, and the starlets were sexy.
You can check out one of the scenes in the series right here. The two of them got into a bathtub together and had a chat while the bath water covered up their naughty bits. Meanwhile, they had naughty conversations just like they always do!
Well, we love Natasha Leggero here. She's one of the hardest-working and most naturally funny comedians working today. She's hysterical. She's gorgeous. She's brave. And now? She's topless. That puts her at the top of my "favorite comedians" list for sure. Let's hope this inspires a trend in her!
