'In 2018, the dominance of male mediocrity in stand-up comedy makes me sigh. It's tiring sitting at shows where obvious analogy reigns. Shows in which audiences laugh hysterically simply on the comedian's entrance, way before he opens his mouth, way before a joke is structured, when you foresee an anticipated tsumani of a punch line roll in like a little swell. Dry, is the only rating I can award this type of comedy. Or as Aboriginal peoples often say, 'Gammin' i.e. fake, pretend, pathetic.' (Publication abstract)
