“Hacks” star Hannah Einbinder has released her debut standup comedy special on Max. In “Everything Must Go,” she tackles tough topics, including sexual identity and climate change because she said she thinks about “pretty much everything through the lens of comedy,” calling that habit a “classic coping mechanism” or “survival instinct.

Einbinder says she thinks about “pretty much everything through the lens of comedy,” adding that the habit is a “classic coping mechanism” or “survival instinct.” “My jokes are very long,” she adds. “Each joke is very long, and they’ve been much longer. This is as short as I’ve made them — they’re very long and they’re still cut down. I write a lot and then I trim, but yeah, just keeping the stuff that feels high octane and that is good enough to stay in.”
