You're reading an awful lot into this thread.

Every subject can be comedy gold in the right hands. However there are always some overdone topics that when you hear a comedian bring them up at an open mic your inner critic immediately thinks, "This is going to be boring."

I'm guilty of it myself but I actively try to stay away from topics that I hear being covered an awful lot for that reason.

I can't stand Irish comedians who only make jokes about Irishness and Irish things that aren't even close to being inherently Irish. It can be great, but when a comedian overdoes it I have to wonder if there's anything else to them.

Same goes for female comedians who only relate to their female audience.
