now i like stand up comedy better than most folks but i'm having a little trouble lately watching female skits where we hear a little/lot more personal stuff than seems necessary. in fact, if i keep watching this kind of comedy i might end up my days with perpetually raised eyebrows.
my interest in human psychology draws me to stand-up comedy. why do people laugh and cheer when a comedian talks about poop and uses the "f" word? i can understand a self conscious giggle but a full out cheer seems kind of suspicious. what the hell is wrong with those people?
i watched a comedian this morning who had me giggling along with the audience as he spoke candidly and funnily about his ex girlfriends...nothing salacious but just true human comedy. then he strayed into joking about how he would act like a pedophile to shock people. it creeped me out so much that i changed channels. some things just aren't humorous.
back to female comics...i think some are becoming even more outrageous in their topics because they feel they need to do this in order to be successful. let's hope this isn't true. i've seen a lot of female comics who are hilarious without being disgusting.
