"“You don’t look funny.”
This is a response I’ve gotten when I told someone I do standup comedy. I
didn’t know funny had a look. But I think the subtext is “you look like a
woman, and therefore are not funny. “
“But you’re pretty.”
Huh? That’s was another response I got. I didn’t know funny and pretty had to
be mutually exclusive. Yes, women can be funny AND attractive.
“Do you like (insert name of the first female comedian they can think of)?”
Yes, maybe I do like that one female comedian whose name you know. But we’re
not all the same. If a man told you he did stand up, your immediate response
probably wouldn’t be, “Do you like Jerry Seinfeld?”"
