To be noted: Please believe me when I say that the following is reported with great humor and that no ill-will is wished toward the guilty party who is actually a good friend of mine.I'm not one of those people who boo-hoo that comedy is a boys' club. I much prefer to think of comedy as more of a funny-people club. That's why when a booker asked me to do a show in these exact words, I had to chuckle. And I quote:
"We like to put a female between the comedians in the line-up of our show."
That means, in this booker's mind, the show's line-up goes something like this:
- Comedian
- Comedian
- Comedian
- Female
- Comedian
- Comedian
I think that's a little awesome. This guy was just so blunt. But I didn't mind. He was, after all, asking me to be in his show, which means I'm doing something right, ya?
