Oct 28, 2014 3:09 PM CUT Between the title of her forthcoming Netflix comedy special, _Chelsea Peretti: One of the Greats_, and her claim, in its trailer, to be “a direct vessel of God,” Chelsea Peretti is all exaggerated bravado and tongue-in-cheek swagger. But the gag isn’t unwarranted — the writer/actress/comedian has consistently proven worthy of praise. To name a few of her accolades and accomplishments: She’s been listed as a comedian to watch by _Variety_, _Vanity Fair_, and _Comedy Central_. She was one of TIME’s Best Twitter Feeds of 2013\. Her podcast, _Call Chelsea Peretti_, debuted at No. 1 on the iTunes comedy charts. She’s written for _Parks and Recreation_, appeared on _Louie_ and _Kroll Show_, and currently plays Gina Linetti on _Brooklyn Nine-Nine_ alongside costars Andy Samberg and Terry Cruz. In the trailer for her stand-up special, Peretti is deliciously crass, wondering how to “de-dick” a banana for public consumption, mocking hot girls’ insecurity, and equating fedoras to the most egregious of offenses. Of her decision to leave the _Parks and Recreation_ gig to focus on standup, she told [_Cosmopolitan_](http://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/news/a4456/chelsea-peretti-interview/ "undefined"), “When I look at stand-up I don’t think there’s a lot of people out there like me and I didn’t just want that to fall away with the writing workload.” By the looks of it, it was a very good decision. The special airs on Netflix on Nov. 14. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3543456/chelsea-peretti-stand-up-netflix-comedy/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3543456/chelsea-peretti-stand-up-netflix-comedy/"},"headline":"Watch the Trailer for Chelsea Peretti’s Netflix Comedy Special","datePublished":"2014-10-28T15:09:15.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T11:03:07.664Z","description":"\"Looks like this comedian's probably gonna be telling it like it is\"","url":"https://time.com/3543456/chelsea-peretti-stand-up-netflix-comedy/","keywords":["Comedy","Television","Netflix"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliza Berman","jobTitle":"Berman is a senior editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/eliza-berman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/comedy/","name":"Comedy"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3543456/chelsea-peretti-stand-up-netflix-comedy/","name":"Watch the Trailer for Chelsea Peretti’s Netflix Comedy Special"}}]}] ```
