How did Sam Bee's "Full Frontal" find its brilliant voice?

I personally entered perimenopause and I was like, "Oh, am I dying? What's happening right now? Is this normal?" As with many stages of your life, you end up going into a place where you think you're the only one experiencing something, and it feels so terrifying to say out loud what you're going through.
