Olivia won't give birth to anything but a new comedy movement. One where reproductive anxiety, political depression and Chinese daughterhood are somehow cured. She started writing the show when Trump returned to office and began dismantling DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion). As an ethnic baddie, she decided to get an IUD – cuz you know what they say – DEI is out, IUD is in. The subsequent surreal gynaecologist visits become a meditation about identity, autonomy and what it means to create as a woman, alien and stand-up comedian.
