Julia Scotti returned to stand-up comedy later in life.

In one of her comedy acts, she jokes that she can't afford to retire, because her 401K only has enough for "about a month-and-a-half of Netflix."

I love seeing people laugh," says Scotti. "It's the best job on the planet."

Scotti writes comedy about age and on becoming Julia.

"I am the T in LGBT," she says in a bit.

"I'm sharing a lot, a big piece of myself," she says. "There is such a feeling of liberation when there's no secrets."

Scotti revealed her transition during the 11th season of "America's Got Talent."

"For the first 48 years of my life I was known as Rick Scotti," she says on the show.

That experience and more is told in the documentary, "Julia Scotti: Funny That Way," directed by Susan Sandler.
