Filmed live at the Independent Comedy Club in Hamtramck, Michigan, the special showcases Bamfield’s fearless ability to transform pain into laughter through sharp storytelling, dark humor, and remarkable resilience.
In Untouchable, Bamfield confronts one of the most difficult chapters of her life—her experience as a survivor of sexual abuse by former sports doctor Larry Nassar.

Throughout the performance, Bamfield explores the complexities of trauma, recovery, identity, and the often-awkward realities of navigating life after tragedy. Her candid approach challenges audiences to laugh while also reflecting on the ways humor can help people reclaim their stories and take back control of their narratives.
Recorded in the intimate setting of Hamtramck’s Independent Comedy Club, Untouchable captures the raw energy between Bamfield and the audience as she balances vulnerability with razor-sharp punchlines. The special highlights her growing reputation as a bold and distinctive comedic voice willing to push boundaries while remaining authentically herself.
With Untouchable, Alaina Bamfield demonstrates that comedy can be more than entertainment—it can be a vehicle for healing, connection, and resilience. The special stands as a testament to the power of laughter in the face of adversity and the courage required to share deeply personal experiences with the world.
