Female stand-up comedians: Making comedy a comedy

Making people laugh needs the most excellent skillset. A good comedy set needs a good storyline, with some whacky punchlines that hit hard people in their funny bones. Being a stand-up comedy artist is a current hot profession in the entertainment industry. People nowadays are willing to pay more than the cost of a cinema ticket to watch some live good stand-up comedy performance. Nothing feels more relaxing than enjoying a comedy show on a weekend with your friends & family. And it’s not about just live shows; free video streaming platforms such as YouTube & Facebook have much comedy shows to offer you a good laugh. Even paid OTT platforms like amazon prime, Netflix, etc., also have a wide range of special stand-up performances to deliver to their subscribers. In India, we have many great stand-up comedians who can crack such hilarious jokes on everyday topics that the audience goes ROFL. Comedians like Tanmay Bhatt and Zakir Khan have made us laugh since our teenage years.

Problems

Now the problem was faced when new generations of female stand-up comedians tried to enter this industry in a hurry to quickly gain fame & money without putting in the necessary hard work to make the audience root for their content. Especially in the current scenario, we have a few cringe female comedians trying to please their audience with cheap, misandric & repetitive comedy content. Their contents focus mainly on sex, female bodies, fake orgasms, periods & so on. They talk about creepy men hitting on them and cracking jokes about the size of some men’s penis & how some men are unable to satisfy their sexual urges. These female stand-up comedians publicly body shame males and blame men for hardships in their life. When the audience they don’t find them funny, they divert their jokes to more cheap jokes like commenting on their breast size, bras & their menstrual cycles, i.e., period blood, etc. Some utterly shameless performers talk about their sex life for public attention, rant about faking orgasms for their sexual partners & so on. Due to our country’s cheap internet accessibility, now everyone has a smartphone to watch this cringe content on their smartphones with few easy clicks.
