Fuck Yeah, Comedy Ladies.

Because gender doesn't matter when it comes to being funny.

(A tumblr dedicated to celebrating female comedians.)

As an LA experience, however, it was pretty standard. Your car salesman is a poet, your waitress is an actress and your barman tells you he’s penning a screenplay. In certain places, he’ll also tell you that he’s not a barman at all, he’s a mixologist - which just gets people’s backs up. If Postman Pat had called himself a mailologist, his black and white cat would have locked him in the back of his van until he stopped being a dick.

Katherine is very independent. She has her own sense of style and the air of someone going their own way. She seemed like a Nell Gwynne figure, the sort of actress from times gone by who kings would become obsessed with.” / “She was so irreverent and we had the same sense of the ridiculous.” / “I remember having a day off at home during that period and getting a phone call at 11am from her mobile. She was ringing me from her room to ask me to get her a glass of water. She’s outrageous but she knows it and it’s endearing.

Who’s your favourite author?

Either Richard Yates or Kurt Vonnegut. Or George Orwell… or Raymond Carver. Richard Yates - I read his stuff before the film came out… because I’m cool. I love him because he writes really wonderfully about people’s hopes and their imagined selves and how that affects their behaviour. It’s about being trapped and not living up to what they think they should do and how crushing that is. It’s all about small things being devastating. Same with Raymond Carver - it’s very sparse. I like Kurt Vonnegut and George Orwell because the way they write makes me feel like I’ve found a friend in them and I trust them. I think that’s important. I find them funny and inspiring.
