Knox Shares Her Standup Routine on Social Media
Knox performed a standup routine at the Tacoma Comedy Club in Washington.
The 38-year-old shared a video of her routine on social media. She captioned the X post: "Thanks to @tacomacomedy for letting me open for the very funny @IamChrisPorter and tell a few jokes about making The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox on @hulu."
Knox's post sparked mixed reviews from social media users, some of whom were appalled by the criminal justice reform advocate using the 2007 murder of her British study abroad roommate, Meredith Kercher, for material.
In her standup routine, Knox referenced her Hulu documentary series The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, which examined the four years she spent behind bars, falsely imprisoned for Kercher's murder and her tireless fight to prove her innocence.
Knox Compares Motherhood to False Imprisonment

Knox said motherhood has been harder than the years she spent behind bars in Italy falsely convicted of murder.
She joked about the documentary: "Forewarning, it is intense. Like, you know your twenties were rough when people want to binge-watch them, you know?"
Knox tee'd up her next bit by reflecting on the years she spent imprisoned, working on the Hulu project, and as a mother to her two children, daughter Eureka and son Echo, which she mocked has proved to be the most challenging season of her life so far.
The mom-of-two continued: "I've been executive producing this thing for four years, which, incidentally, is the same amount of time that I spent in prison – and it's the same amount of time I've spent as a mom."
Knox Says Young Daughter Plays 'Mommy Goes to Italy'

Knox said her toddler plays 'Mommy goes to Italy' at the playground and acts trapped behind the jungle gym bars.
The crowd let out an "aww" when Knox mentioned being a mom, to which she acknowledged, "I know," before quipping, "Guess which one's been the hardest though?"
Knox earned laughs from the crowd when she added: "Just say that no Italian magistrate ever chewed up a chicken nugget and tried to spit into my mouth."
She also claimed her daughter has become aware of her past from watching her work on the documentary series and now asks to play "Mommy goes to Italy" when they're at the playground.

Knox said the Tacoma gig was her '6th time on stage' performing standup.
Knox added a touch of physical comedy as she proceeded to act out her young daughter impersonating her behind the jungle gym bars yelling, "Let me out!"
She said: "And all the other parents are like, 'She has an interesting imagination,' and I'm like, 'No, no. That's a direct quote."
One X user replied to Knox's video and asked how long she has been performing for, to which she replied the Tacoma show was her "6th time on stage."
While some viewers applauded Knox and said her comedy was "the way to deal with injustice and betrayal" others found the set tasteless.
