Comedy is a noble art. And every comedian who does anything is serving a noble purpose.
As a comedian you are making yourself vulnerable in order to make others happy.
Comedians and people in general have a cultural right to talk about their own culture and race.
One of my first jobs was on a lesbian cruise. I was the ship comedian for the Lesbian Love Boat.
I'm very much a stand-up comedian in my heart. That's really what I do. Now I'm trying to incorporate all of the different elements of my work as a performer, and use it as a stand-up comedian.
I became a comedian because I didn't want to be bullied anymore. Onstage I was safe.
I'm very excited about this project because, finally, I get to become my mother,
It's very frustrating because we're always judging women on their appearance. It's so casual and never questioned. There needs to be somebody standing around and asking why this is still happening.
I didn't mean to be a role model. I just speak my truth. I guess speaking from your heart really creates a huge impact, and if I can encourage people to do that, then I would love to be a role model. If I could encourage people to use their voices loudly, then that's my reward.
This show is a lot funnier and more outrageous. There are lots more jokes.
I get up around 7 a.m. That's very early for a stand-up comic. Then I'll have breakfast with my husband, the artist Al Ridenour, take my three dogs for a walk and commence with my work.
My boyfriend and I live together, which means we don't have sexever. Now that the milk is free, we've both become lactose intolerant.
I'm writing a record of comedy songs. I'm doing all these collaborations with artists. I bring them lyrics and they write the music to it.
Grow up and let anyone try to contend with the adult you.
