To me, I've never understood why there is any question about are women as funny as men.

Saying women aren't funny is now like saying Asians can't drive or saying black people have bad credit. It's just really, like, so obsolete.

Yes, some women are funny. No, some women aren't funny. It's similar to how some women are tall and, you know, some women are short.

I think the whole concept that women aren't funny is dead. It's over; it's done.

I definitely relate so much to a lot of women in comedy, but I don't love segregating the genders. I'm just as influenced by male comedians as I am female comedians.

At some point in the past, it was decided that women in comedy are never supposed to be shown in an unflattering light. But in comedy, you need all of your tools to be funny.

Women comedy is different than men comedy. Guy comedy is very aggressive, it's about insulting each other, name-calling, and kind of busting each other's chops, and that's not what women's comedy is.

There are so many funny women in the world, and there has been for so many years, so I'll be happy when people can just move on from that, and things can just be 'comedies' and not 'female' or 'male,' and everyone gets an equal opportunity.

Everybody wants to say females aren't as funny as men. That's not true. You just don't see as many because it takes a lot to do this occupation.

And then also I think it's harder for women because comedy is so opposite of being ladylike.
