Taylor Tomlinson’s Netflix special is too ungodly for many churches. This one welcomed her.
Tomlinson’s fourth Netflix special, recorded at a liberal church known for free speech and LGBTQ+ support, features edgy content blending comedy with religious critique.
- Comedian Taylor Tomlinson recorded her latest Netflix special at Fountain Street Church in February 2025, performing four shows.
- With a history dating to 1869, Fountain Street Church has supported free speech and LGBTQ rights, making it a fitting venue for the comedian's edgy set.
- Focusing on her conservative Christian upbringing, Tomlinson's material explores her struggle with religious identity and includes sexual themes deemed "irreverent at best" by most nondenominational Christian congregations.
- Supporting the production, the church leadership stated the venue is 'living out its values' of free speech, with 135 people attending, according to J. Spalding Wall.
- Hosting comedians since at least 2011, the church used its 1,507-seat auditorium for the Netflix special, with technical director Kayle Clements working 17-hour days.
