Queen of dark comedy Julia Davis on humor in 'Sally4Ever': 'It's a slightly heightened reality'

The queen of dark comedy sits down for an exclusive interview with Meaww, where she talks about her inspiration behind the explicit sex-scenes

Julia Davis, the queen of dark comedy brought the cliched but peculiarly not-cliched British sense of humor to American shores when HBO started airing 'Sally4Ever' November 11, and needless to say, all the cringe comedy lovers in the country and beyond have come to worship the British comedian and actress for striking the ingenious note of defining the new-age take on comedy while bending the genre to what we now call Julia Davis's sense of humor.

The 52-year-old comedian's humor is dark. No, not the kind of dark British humor we are used to, so that is why ‘Sally4Ever’ was an extremely uncomfortable watch for even the most well-acquainted cringe-comedy viewers.
