“Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body. But rather, to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming .... WoW, what a ride.”

“So much of comedy is about us all realizing, Hey, maybe I’m not such a weirdo after all/Oh my God! You do that thing, too?/Holy crap, you just said everything I ever wanted to say, but didn’t have the tools to do so. The joy of seeing yourself in another is pertinent not just to stand-up comedy but to being alive.”
― Phoebe Robinson, You Can't Touch My Hair: And Other Things I Still Have to Explain

“What I’m saying is that the comedy world oozes machismo. The most glaring evidence of this is the fact that 90 percent of shows have a mostly male lineup, with one or two spots designated for women. And since this is the norm, audiences have been conditioned to instinctually enjoy listening to anything about the male experience and to be somewhat resistant or hesitant to listen to stuff from a female perspective. In a lot of ways, it’s almost as though anything outside the heteronormative male experience is deemed not worthy of discussion.”
