My Take
Jacobson is the rare comedian who is also a genuine maker. With an art-school background, she brings a hand-drawn, idiosyncratic sensibility to her comedy, and it shows in how Broad City turned scrappy female friendship into something tender and inventive. I admire that she and Ilana Glazer built that world themselves, from web series to a Comedy Central institution, owning their voice instead of waiting for permission. She writes, acts, voices, and illustrates, a creative range that keeps her from being boxed in. Her presence on the 2022 Out100 and her unapologetic authenticity reflect a real spine. To me she embodies comedy as freedom.
