Comments on: I just watched 3 hours of stand-up comedy. I mean, male stand-up comedy. http://jenkwok.net/2009/06/02/i-just-watched-3-hours-of-stand-up-comedy-i-mean-male-stand-up-comedy/ a certain jen ne sais kwok Tue, 11 Jan 2011 23:42:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: soce http://jenkwok.net/2009/06/02/i-just-watched-3-hours-of-stand-up-comedy-i-mean-male-stand-up-comedy/#comment-140 soce Wed, 03 Jun 2009 15:26:39 +0000 http://jenkwok.wordpress.com/?p=753#comment-140 Don't forget the awkward kings of comedy! http://www.awkwardkings.com I have seen some ladies on comedy central, such as tig, sarah silverman show, reno 911, ellen degeneres, laura kightlinger, natasha leggero, amy schumer.. I dunno some others lol but yeah you're right it's mostly dudes. I think it's easier to get certain minority-based gigs when you're a minority, such as getting booked on shows specifically for females or asians, or at schools for their female or asian society, but in terms of getting on general shows and media, it's much easier being a white male. There are times I wish I was a christian straight black rapper who talked about the streets instead of being a dorky gay jewish white rapper who plays violin and shoots strange comedy videos, but hey we work with the cards we're dealt with. I think I would be sad if you ended up being a dude and just doing comedy about fart jokes, your girlfriend, having sex and doing drugs etc Don’t forget the awkward kings of comedy!
