But, like, I think about it with, like, in our business, you know?

Like, there are so many women who complain, like,

Oh, no girls on the lineup or only two girls on the line.

So, yes, it can feel like a boys club because it is.

putting up with these comedy club owners or working the road or like it is their fans being creepy with creepy fans did they're different like a hundred percent and I'm sympathetic to the things female comics have to go through but if they just don't understand the numbers like there's there's girls in Los Angeles who are regulars at the improv and the laugh factory and the comedy store who have been doing it a few years and

And then there's guys that I know that have been doing it 15 years who, you know, subjectively are very, very funny and subjectively funnier than them, but at least inarguably funny.

And they can't get any spots at these places because we need more women comics.
