LOL, as they say.
I had a listen to the beginning of this the other day. I did think there was some stuff with potential (I'm thiking of the Rosa Parks Hollywodd biography) but perhaps it could do with a bit of tightening and taking it further; perhaps rather than just use the cliche of the sassy black female character, use it to make a comment on how the film industry can't seem to escape from that stereotype. It's an area that could be thoroughly satirised.
The reason why I didn't stay to listen to much more was because I felt you started to tackle various controversial topics in a shocking rather than funny way, but not shocking enough to really amuse. To be honest, I'm not really a fan of that kind of humour (e.g. Sarah Silverman) so maybe I'm not your target audience, but Silverman can make me laugh occasionally - she's good at what she does. I just think you need to improve the quality of your material if you're going to go for subjects like paedophilia and so forth.
