Comedian Steph Tolev wants women to feel comfortable farting in front of people
Steph Tolev has a gross sense of humour, but her raunchy jokes about sex and bodily functions are also very real. The Toronto-born comedian says there isn't anything in her first Netflix special, Filth Queen, that didn't actually happen to her. "A lot of weird, gross things normally happen to me, especially in my like sex life," she tells Q guest host Talia Schlanger in an interview. "Like I got choked in a basement. I fooled around with a 65-year-old man. Nothing is made up." For the past 23 years, Tolev has built her career on tackling subjects that others might find embarrassing or shameful. She's out to prove that it's OK for people, especially women, to talk about their bodies openly. "I think when women are together with themselves, they are like this," she says. "I'm just trying to give a voice to people so they can feel more comfortable. And I'm not saying anything that people don't normally say or do. Like, I'm just talking out loud about bodily functions that we all do every day." In one case, Tolev asked a woman in the audience when the last time she farted in front of her husband was. The woman said it had been 50 years. "I was like, 'What is happening? How can you live like this?'" Tolev recalls. WATCH | Official teaser for Filth Queen: But even Tolev feels self-conscious sometimes. She says internet trolls can be particularly cruel to female comedians. "Personally, I'm not that confident," she tells Schlanger. "I still read the comments and sometimes I cry because they're so mean…. But I think when I am on stage, I just feel this, I don't know, this different power, and I feel like I don't feel self-conscious when I'm up there. But the second I get off, I'm still a normal gal." When it comes to her own comedy and crowd work, Tolev is wild but never mean. "I never make fun of anyone's physical appearance because I don't find that funny," she says. "If you've seen a clip of me where I'm coming at somebody kind of hard, it's because they've done something, like they've heckled [or] they've been rude to other comedians. I don't want to upset anybody…. I'm demented in lots of ways, but I'm not mean." The full interview with Steph Tolev is available on our podcast, Q with Tom Power. She also talks about how she developed her niche and why she had to leave Canada to get her big break. Listen and follow wherever you get your podcasts.

New on Netflix June 21-27: just four new releases, but one's huge!
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Every week I publish a curated list of the top new Originals coming to the Netflix library, but this week's list (for additions between Saturday, June 21 and Friday, June 27) is a little different. That's because the list of four new additions you see below isn't a selected list of new Netflix shows and movies coming this week, but the entire list. One stand-up special, one documentary movie, one reality show and one drama. If you're wondering: yes, that's a surprisingly light roster of new addition, as I often have to pick between 15+ Netflix Originals for this list. So it's made my job a lot easier! The likelihood that something will show up on my list of the best Netflix shows and best Netflix movies then is reduced somewhat, but never say never! So let's find you something new to watch on Netflix this week. Starting the week is a stand-up special featuring Canadian comedian Steph Tolev, which was filmed at Boston's Paradise Rock Club. Filth Queen sees Tolev shock audience members and viewers with a reportedly frank and uninhibited persona, and you can probably guess the type of jokes she'll make based on the title alone. Releases on Tuesday, June 24 The third installment in Netflix's ongoing Trainwreck series of documentary movies about headline-grabbing events is Poop Cruise which debuts one week on from the last entry. Poop Cruise is about the breaking down of a luxury cruise between Texas and Mexico which left passengers stranded for several days, When the stopped working, toilets overflowed, leaving raw sewage to leak all across the ship, hence the name. Plus, another kind of "revolting" occurred when passengers began to wrest control back for themselves. Releases on Tuesday, June 24 There have been quite a few different versions of Netflix's The Ultimatum series and you can probably guess Queer Love's spin on it: it's a dating show for same-sex couples. The new season releases over two weeks from Wednesday, June 25. The Ultimatum is about couples in which one has given the other... well, an ultimatum: "marry me or I leave you". In Queer Love season 2 these six couples will get taken to Miami for a series of tasks and conversations that'll test or strengthen their bond, all aiming at answering the question: will they stay or will they go? Releases on Wednesday, June 25 and finshes on Wednesday, July 2 Its first season is Netix's most-watched non-English TV show, and its second season is Netflix's second most-watched non-English TV show, and so Squid Game season 3 has big boots to fill when it returns on Friday, June 27. As you probably know, Squid Game is about an underground game of brutal challenges, and the quest of one man not to win, but to stop them from taking place. His mission has encouraged the games' runner to step down from his metaphorical throne and try to face off against him, and season 3 will determine the fate of the Squid Games. Releases on Friday, June 27
