In AMANDA SEALES: I BE KNOWIN\u2019, she delves into catcalling versus compliments, a woman\u2019s \u201cvagenda,\u201d who runs the windows on an airplane, workplace email etiquette and how to be a \u201cHannah\u201d instead of a \u201cBecky,\u201d and leads the crowd in a rousing rendition of the Negro National Anthem.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing a stand-up comic is an honor I don\u2019t take lightly, because I consider humor to be a superpower that allows us to bear the weight of issues and concepts that otherwise seem so much bigger than us,\u201d<\/strong> says Seales. \u201c\u2018I BE KNOWIN\u2019 is 37 years of finding the funny, culminating in an hour, and my HBO family being the place where I get to share it, makes this, my first special, even that much more special.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
