I feel like comedy had a boys'-club label when we were starting.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A comedy club is a place where you work out material, you're trying material.
At first, there was a separation of clubs and sketch comedy. Now there's all kinds of comedy, making us one big happy family.
In a bigger picture, all over the world is a boys' club.
When I was a kid, I had no perception whatever that science fiction was supposed to be a boys' club.
My first year of university, I ran around and signed up for these clubs, and I noticed they were all drama clubs: really lame, artsy things.
Comedy clubs are sacred ground. That's where anything goes.
I think the comedy clubs tend to homogenize the acts a little bit, because they force them to be palatable in way too many environments.
There was a sea of change in comedy in the late 1950s and '60s. We were dealing with vignettes as opposed to jokes. We were more socially aware.
When I started, there was no comedy community, no comedy industry; there were comedians.
We've been gone five years and the best they could come up with was boy bands?
