Nearly one year after being blacklisted from Hollywood, Roseanne Barr is finally launching her comeback by returning to her roots in standup comedy!
Morning Call reported that Barr is preparing to perform her new stand-up comedy act for the first time, and she said that much of it contains material pertaining to the scandal over her controversial tweet about Valerie Jarrett that got her blacklisted.
“I have quite a few jokes about it,” Barr said. “You know, I don’t suffer fools gladly. And I have a lot to say, so I’ll be saying it.”
Barr believes that liberals were eager to take her down because of the success of her sitcom “Roseanne,” which she described as “the highest-rated show in maybe 10 years.” She explained that liberals were threatened by the fact that the show was trying to bring people together instead of dividing us.
“I thought people were hungry for a middle-of-the-road message and to stop being … seeing the politics of separatism and demonism,” she said. “I thought people were good and sick of that and so was I. We all have way more in common than we don’t have in common , but they’re exploiting those differences when they should be concentrating on our, you know, agreement – moving forward to make things better. I really do think that I, you know, meant to unite the country aside from politics, and they just wouldn’t let me.”
“But it did that for the nine episodes it was on,” Barr continued. “It was No. 1 every week. So as far as coming back after 20 years and being No. 1, I’m grateful to my fans for that, and, you know, I think we all got a smackdown.”
These days, Barr is firmly focused on the future as she begins her comeback with her standup routine.
“Stand-up is a full-time project,” she says. “So that’s where I’m putting everything now. And I do make more YouTube videos, and I’m thinking about doing a podcast myself. But I just enjoy stand-up a lot. I don’t enjoy traveling, though. But I really like doing standup. Yeah, plus the fact that it’s a great art form and I feel really lucky that I know how to do it.”
Barr also assured her fans that her standup act will be as brutally honest as ever.
“That’s what makes comedy funny – is that it’s pretty real and pretty universal,” she said. “That’s when you get your biggest laughs.”
It’s so nice to see Barr back in action after all that she’s been through. Hollywood and the left have put this woman through the wringer, and she’s more than paid for the one tweet that got her in trouble in the first place. We can only hope that instead of blacklisting her further, Hollywood will allow Barr to continue her career in entertainment in peace.
