Congrats to every comic who gets anything, but the comedy industry is absolute shit. Sexist, ageist, and lazy. I have an hour, shot with 3 cameras at the Punch in November, back when there were crowds. Would perhaps make for good content because I’m a 30 year standup vet?
Congrats to Rob S who stayed famous because his male friends who got movie deals kept putting him in their male movies that got green lit because men men men men men, I guess I’ll be the dead parent comic with a dead parent tweet legacy, how could I, a female, want more?
Btw, this is the pandemic tweeting, not me.
Gen X female standup twitter is awake. Half the male standups on streaming platforms are Biden& #39;s age. You ppl love Kamala& #39;s energy? We& #39;re your comedy Kamalas. We& #39;re out here, Zooming new shit to crap audio, even though the industry hates us! #COVIDTweetingNotMe
LITERALLY a rapist and a pedophile pitched and sold a prank show, while Jackie and me more like as good/dedicated as us are out here asking ppl to mute their speakers so their audio doesn& #39;t fuck up our ZOOM show WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK
The great @NationalMom produced a standup special on Showtime, "Women of a Certain Age," where older female comics got to do about 10 min. But HONESTLY- Showtime should have asked Carol to produce an hour for EACH OF THESE LADIES: http://www.womenofacertainagecomedy.com/cast.html ">https://www.womenofacertainagecomedy.com/cast.html...
Instead, these headliners are chopped into tiny bits, meanwhile an MMA fighter with limited standup experience got a FULL HOUR ON SHOWTIME. (And good for him, seriously!). BUT WHY isn& #39;t Carol the next Barry Katz? Why are these EXPERIENCED HEADLINING WOMEN
turned into 10 min sets when MMA fighters get a full 60? (Don& #39;t answer, we all know why.) Mad respect to @NationalMom and all the ladies! THEY DESERVE MORE! I pay for HBO. FIN.
