Though not mentioned by name, Montgomery County makes an appearance in Lisa Ann Walter’s new comedy special, “It Was an Accident.”

In her first special, filmed in Philadelphia and released Friday on Hulu, the actor and comedian tackles aging, relationship escapades and her childhood experiences growing up in Montgomery County.

Walter was born in Silver Spring and grew up in the area, attending Takoma Park Junior High and Montgomery Blair High School.

Life was much different from what kids experience today, she argues during her monologue.

“Nobody cared where we were — ever,” Walter, 62, says to younger audience members. “You left the house, in the summer especially, you went out the door and there was only two rules: Don’t come back into the house until when? The streetlights come on.

“And in between, nobody gave a s---. They didn’t know, they didn’t care. I was running through a field with a bumper bottle of Olde English 800, breaking into local pools ’cause it’s f---ing hot. Right in front of the cops, too. ... It was different back then.”

She also laments a lack of seat belts and car seats (“if you had a baby, you would just stick him in the back and he would roll around like a marble”) and recalls haphazard trips to the carnival without any real plan.

“No cellphones, no arrangement for coming home,” she says. “Just ‘here’s a roll of tickets — good luck!’”

Walter is best known for her acting, but stand-up comedy brought her to Los Angeles in the ’90s.

Some 35 years later, her stand-up is streaming on Hulu. But parents, be warned: While her performances in “Abbott Elementary” and “The Parent Trap” are child-friendly, much of the material in this special is decidedly not.

Last month, the Season 5 finale of “Abbott Elementary” aired on ABC, following an announcement that Season 6 would run this fall. Walter is expected to return, though the network has not yet made any casting announcements.

Walter recently wrapped up a run on “Celebrity Jeopardy! All-Stars,” during which she competed to raise money for the D.C.-based nonprofit ERA Coalition Forward, which promotes legal and social equality for women in the United States.
