Funny female comedian is one of those misnomers like honest politician or working royal and US comedian Natalie Cuomo didn’t do the sisterhood any favours when a rant at a gig in Washington D.C. went viral earlier this month.
Now, I don’t know anything about her material which I’m assuming is about as funny as a ballbag in a zipper, but this was about her response to a heckler in the audience. She suggested a man and his friend sat in the audience were a gay couple, he objected and she called him ‘afraid’ of being called gay he then said it wasn’t his fault she didn’t have better material.
Cue full on girl boss mental feminazi rant, screaming inches from his face, “There’s so many people coming together to be supportive. No, look me in the eyes! You’re putting fucking negative energy out there! This is the last show of my fucking weekend, look me in the fucking eyes! Its a sold-out show and you want to say mean shit to me? Don’t fucking do that!”. Ok, someone needs a chamomile tea in the greenroom.
Being heckled is part of the deal, a comedians quick wits and ability to think on their feet and make hecklers look a fool in front of the rest of the audience shows their skills as a comic. This was neither funny or clever, just a brattish tantrum over some fairly tame criticism. “When they put teeth in your mouth they spoiled a perfectly good bum” – Billy Connolly. Now that’s a riposte Natalie.
Needless to say if this had been a man screaming in a woman’s face it would have been a hate crime and he would have never darkened a stage again.

They do exist!
