I think your being generous with your end summation! I don't think women understand what humour is, as a rule. They can see something that's funny and laugh at something that's funny, but they can't really replicate it. It's 'artificial'. That's why most women that do stand up come across as hollow. Cos they don't actually believe that it's funny.
Stand up comedy is a 'throw yourself to the lions' process and most women fear it and so don't sell themselves to the audience, imo. That's why I like Sommore. Forget the colour of her skin and the natural direction of her comedy, but the fundamental underling thing that gets her through, is that she DOES NOT CARE WHAT YOU THINK!! She does the 'man' thing on her terms.
The best comedians live and die by this method of 'not caring'. Not enough women understand that.
I totally agree, women care too much about what other people think, hence why their always looking in mirror or reading stupid mags to see what the celebs are doing. Its all superficial and hollow - hence why their humour is the same.
Now me, i was brought up on a childhood comdey diet of monty python, marks brothers, laurel and hardy so i havent got a serious bone in my body.
Plus having the personality of a guy trapped in a woman's body helps you learn to see the funny side of life....lol
