Ah, yes. The eternal struggle of being a girl in the world of jokes. But fuck that shit. I am funny, and I am a girl. I don't think I have ever called myself a "female improviser" just like I don't call myself a "female alcoholic."

And I am glad I found this blog, Natasha. I hope you are doing well where ever it is you are right now (Japan, right?).

I literally keep coming back to your blog so I can listen to this song.

And I know that I just got to hang out with you for two weeks straight, but...could you come home already?

"...hefty or dykey or Jewish, or some combo of the three." Judy Gold must have been really pissed when she read that.

I watched the entire series this morning. I love Dawn French. And I loved watching the comedians speak about their lives and what makes them laugh. I definitely identified with a lot of them.

But I'm always fascinated by these explorations of "where comedy comes from". For some reason people are not ok with the idea that it's a natural talent like any other. Some have it and some don't. You never hear, "But what happened in his/her childhood that made them so good at math/science/languages/physics..."

I wish comedy didn't have to be psychoanalyzed. I think that yes, it's harder for women to be taken "seriously" as comedians because we have boobies and men like boobies and sometimes when they are looking at boobies it's hard for them to hear things. And women like men who can express themselves so when male comedians are talking women are actually listening. I think that's the disconnect. ;)

I have more thoughts but this is a long comment and it's definitely a convo I'd love to continue.

Great post, Natasha.

Yeah you could do it. You may want to move back to the states though. I don't know if they shop for talent in Britain. PRESSURE PRESSURE PRESSURE PRESSURE PRESSURE PRESSURE PRESSURE PRESSURE PRESSURE PRESSURE PRESSURE

I'm glad you got to hear the speech, and seriously your turrets would fit right in, everyone here was whooping spontaneously and now are tearing up when they talk about it.

I think my favorite picture so far is this one, people on the bus stop:

As I said to a Republican on Wednesday, "America isn't dead. It's finally waking up after a long and horrible coma. As evidence by the record voter turn out and landslide victory, Byatch!"

Yes we did!

It's a good thing you put that link in your blog to your audition musings. Otherwise I might not have found it...directly underneath the current posting.
