Even with bad comedy I will try to at least identify the joke or the things that are supposed to elicit a laugh but this one had me really grasping. It was like 80% pointless monologue with 20% actual attempts at humor with punchlines (I use that term loosely here) that didn't land because no buildup or bad timing or really obscure references.
The funniest part of the whole thing was when the camera cut to the empty auditorium and it wasn't really funny-ha-ha but more funny-pathetic because what kind of comedian fucking tells jokes to an empty room? Is this like stand-up comedy with training wheels or something?

I feel like anytime you have to go and sell yourself as an "XYZ comedian" you aren't going to be very funny, otherwise you'd just headline as a comedian. Nobody headlines Dave Chappelle as a "Black Comedian" he's just funny. Loads of gay guys are funny and don't need to headline themselves as "gay comedians".
I mean it just limits your audience really, like why should anyone who isn't LGBTQ watch a queer comedy special? It's clear that there's gonna be a ton of specific in jokes you won't get if you aren't part of that group, since it's a "safe space" for that group they're going to also have to walk on eggshells and just tell boring ass lame jokes, what's the point?

Well, the point is that someone who markets themselves as an "(X) Comedian" of any group secretly know damn well they're not funny, and also know the only way they're going to have a successful enough career to get to the "your own comedy special" level or even successfully tour as a comedian is lean into identity politics and market their comedy stylings to the many people in the group who are ultimately just sheep who just want to baa at a picture of a sheep that looks like them or wants to have sex with things they want to have sex with, along with non-members of the group they could successfully bully and browbeat into thinking if they don't support this person it's bigotry.
