I just saw her performing a one-person show of Hamlet a few days ago. Really amazing and funny. Everyone should check if she’s got a show in your area and go to it.
She (or he, back then) also translated her entire comedy routine into German and performed it to native speakers in Germany to prove that humour is not language dependent. And then translated it into Arabic and performed to native Arabic speakers (in Lebanon, I think) to continue the experiment.
I would also recommend it as someone who always sort of enjoyed the play and Shakespeare but was never really into them. But if you’re in that category, read the little page they give out which tells you the relationships between the characters.

French, too! Pretty damn impressive.
I saw her solo Hamlet in New York and loved it so much. As a longtime fan of the play as well as the performer, it was a great evening on both counts.
