Understanding Julia Davis' dark humor from 'Nighty Night' to 'Sally4Ever'
Three episodes of the newest lesbian sitcom 'Sally4Ever' has established British comedian Julia Davis as the ultimate queen of dark comedy and it's not like we did not know that before, cue — her introductory character of anti-Heroine Jill Tyrell in 'Nighty Night' in 2004. But with the latest creation of Emma, the 52-year-old has unleashed one of the most monstrous comedic characters in the history of Davis' villains. It did not even take three episodes to realize that Emma (played by Davis), who first comes in as a relief helping Sally (played by Catherine Shepherd) and sharing a moment of ecstasy on the dance floor, is actually an abusive narcissistic individual, even more so than Jill, who uses her husband's cancer diagnosis as an excuse to seduce the husband of her multiple sclerosis-suffering neighbor.
When talking about the acclaimed legendary comedian Davis, the most common question asked is where does she source her dark humor from?
