"I've always been kind of open to whatever may be," she said in 2016, when asked if she "craved" children, "curious to see what's next.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 20th September 2019Funny Women final 2019 review
With so much of today's best comedy, especially on TV, coming from women, it seems more ridiculous than ever to think of female-led comedy as a sub-genre.
