I’ve never seen any of her work before, I don’t know anything about her. My sister said “watch her show, it’s funny” so I did and I’ve had to switch off 3/4 way through.

She says,

“I don’t know if men know how scared we are as women all the time. Like, one in 3 of us will be assaulted at some point in our lives. If you’re a woman of colour it’s even more than that, if you’re a transwoman, forget it!”

So in making her point about how scared women are of men, she holds up men as the biggest victims of male violence towards women.

Is it a (bad) joke? That’s not a particularly funny standup routine taken at face value?

No this was her making a serious point in between jokes!

She is pretty woke.

Her show was a cheap rip off from the funny and feminist masterpiece Nanette. It's not quite as bad as the one Ellen released recently though.

Oh really.

I did at her plugging of [those period knickers by a certain company] during the show but thought I’d give her a chance and then she said the above and I switched off.

No, sadly that bit probably wasn't a joke. As Sunflower said, she is one of the Woke Peeps!

"Last fuckable day" is still pretty funny though :-)

She has been told lies, just like the rest of us were, I'm guessing. To be fair, her whole set was about pregnancy, which could be deemed as anti trans, in woke ville.

That's disappointing from her. Maybe she just hasn't got it yet.

She's not that woke, given the racist jokes she has used in her sets.
