finding joy

“So, I’m asking you journalist and radio show hosts – talk to THE DUDES about women in comedy.  Let’s change the conversation.  The articles have already been written anyway and they’re all fucking boring.  I’m asking you dudes in comedy, my friends, to please be like Nirvana and don’t just silently agree with us but keep bringing us girlfriends of yours on the road with you, keep casting us in things – not just as a romantic interest. Keep helping CHANGE the culture – don’t just make us women comment on it constantly.  I want to hear the male comics talk about how funny women are – or just talk about how funny certain comedians are and I pray they have a healthy heaping of girls on that list.  Let’s NORMALIZE women in comedy so we can stop talking about it .”

Jen Kirkman is just the best. Read this whole thing, it’s worth your time.
