Why are female comics turning to the theater with one-woman shows? beckwoodward explores the growing trend:
wears on stage is displayed on a mannequin next to a well-worn notebook protected by glass, and the comedian herself sits in the lobby wearing a sign that reads: “IGNORE ME.” Once inside, the multimedia show uses film projection, sound, and characters of Berlant’s creation to tell the self-aggrandizing story of a woman destined to be an actress, but held back by one fatal flaw.
“I have come up as a stand-up comedian, so I know how to tame the audience,” Welch says. “But I always had to do it at the very beginning of my set, because people can get super drunk at comedy clubs and what I was presenting to them was super vulnerable. Most people aren’t at a comedy club for that. They’re just there for the jokes and, you know, the cheese fries.
“I’m not telling joke, joke, joke, joke,” Leiby says of her show. “And I think because it was housed in a theater, people were ready for that. People understood and allowed that space.” Comics also don’t have to share the stage when performing a one-woman show. For Leiby, that gave her some space from an industry that’s still grappling with how to handle male comedians accused of sexual misconduct, and largely choosing to let them back on stage.
