Is it 1972 or is it 2012?
If it's 1972, I'd love to hear two women comedians share their experiences of being female in a traditionally male industry, and reflect on how the landscape is changing as women comics become increasingly popular.
But if it's 2012, those two women and the BBC need to realise it's not 1972 any more.
You know...I find a lot of male-written articles bang on about this male-dominated comedy scene. It's really cute they think like that...bless 'em. I often feel they're trying to say, "Give these poor women a go...let them have a little go at trying their best".
It's nice when you come across a guy who actually sees what's what and respects any comedy talent...male or female. I honestly feel it's the odd patronizing article that spreads such wrong vibes.
This forum is a great example of men and women getting together and appreciating each other as equals. It's a breath of fresh air.
I think with any comedian...if you're finding it hard to break into the comedy scene, you might just not be any good (yet).
I'm quite happy with my comedy...I think it's up to me to make it public and not for anyone else to allow me to do so. If that was the case, I'd always be thinking...I'm only here because a man told some other men to step aside and let me have a go.
I bet this makes no sense at all...good!
