This should be really good.

Ellen DeGeneres has made a career out of being the soundest woman in the world.

Her daytime television show makes for extremely easy watching, largely because she is so damn nice.

The chemistry that she has with her guests makes for really enjoyable television, and the way she can poke fun at them is second to none.

The David Beckham hidden-camera prank is one her finer moments. Take a look.

But before she had Ellen, she was a stand-up comedian. And a damn good one at that.

Just look at her unbelievably accurate description of people eating popcorn in the cinema.

Spot on…

And if you want to see more of her stand-up, great news!

She’s got her very own comedy special coming to Netflix on 18 December.

‘Relatable’ will mark Ellen’s return to stand-up comedy, for the first time in 15 years.

So we don’t even have that long to wait. Unreal.

Have a look at the trailer here, which features Ellen telling Bono, Reese Witherspoon, the Obamas and Oprah Winfrey about the Netflix special here.
