    Everytime I see a woman comedian now I immediately assume she is a token

    As for the women aren't funny myth:
    I think it is because there are less women comedians then men?
    Also a lot of women comedians fall into the trap of just discussing 'women issues'/ women's 'body image' which men do not relate to.
    It just ends up sounding whiny and there are very little generalised stories that everyone can relate to.
    I find lots of female comedians funny....she is not one of them.
    There is also a rumour involving her.


    She is managed by OTK.
    One of their tricks for promoting their lower clients is to offer a package deal - so you basically only get a big name if you take a bunch of others.


    Its known as the 'Shappi Clause' and is named after its major beneficiary.
