00:00I still get asked in interview interviews how I feel about people saying that women aren't funny because people do still say that which is
00:08Ridiculous and insane, but I wish
00:10Also that I wasn't still getting asked that it's also true though. We aren't funny. We're not funny. You would know
00:30I
00:36Always kind of said I feel like she'd be like Ali Wong
00:39You know Ali Wong
00:41like the the basis of her comedy has always kind of been her not always but especially in the last couple of years been her
00:47family and her coming from from her personal life and
00:51And her experiences walking through the world. I loved baby Cobra
00:54I watched it about six times prepping for this show
00:58You know, we've seen a lot of a lot of change you've got these stadium
01:02comedians that are female you've got Amy Schumer and Ali Wong people that are selling these huge Sarah Silverman and
01:10But there's always room for more
01:11I think it's it would be nice if if it wasn't still a question that were asked in interviews
01:17That would be cool. If we got to a point where yeah
01:19It's just a person doing stand-up and whether they have it's or not doesn't matter
01:28Is there a difference yes prostitutes get paid more hilarious you should go into comedy I did
01:35How hungry image is?
01:38in literally
01:41So much she eats on set
01:43Morning till night. She does not stop
01:46Yes, I like how hungry she is in every aspect of her life literally
01:50Figuratively, I love bringing a woman like that to life
01:54I am for the first time in my life taking charge of my own destiny. Well that can't end badly at all. I
02:01Like that I get to wear flat shoes. I like being comfortable. I also like that about Susan
02:07Yeah, I like um, I don't know. I like that. She's strong and yet
02:12Vulnerable, I think those I like that combination of her that she's
02:16Very tough, but also terrified. This is the big leagues kid
02:19Gotta start acting like professionals
02:21Suzy Meyerson remember the face Suzy Meyerson remember the face your girl gonna get good. She is gonna be a legend. I
02:29think
02:30What makes midge?
02:32And her comedy in this show so unique is that it was at that time
02:35Yeah, what things that hadn't been done yet and things that were so unique. That's I don't know if there exists something of the same
02:43caliber now because
02:45The form for women has been been around much longer now, so I don't know
02:49I don't know that I'd be able to equate it with you're right with someone who's talking about things that no one else is talking
02:54about I don't know if there is
02:57Yeah, Mitch represents one of the
03:00pioneering comedians
03:03But in terms of what she talks about and then kind of her style. I feel like it's a little bit like yeah, Ali Wong
