In the world of internet debate, there’s one tactic so fearsome, so deadly, only the masters of online commenting dare wield it.

Long before Ellen and Rosie, Suzanne Westenhoefer belonged to an elite club of funny ladies who dared to be gay out of the gate. Since 1990, the riotous, openly lesbian blonde comic has made audiences—on land and water—cry from laughing. And she’s never put her sexual orientation on the back burner for an audience’s comfort level.

Before she rose to her status as a recognizable comic darling for the gay and lesbian community, she tossed her spot-on ruminations of everyday life on to straight audiences. And she’s still around to tell about it!

Now, some might call me a whore, but I’ll kiss just about everyone!  Quit giggling.  What other expression can mean so much?  A hug?  Nah.  There’s only like 3 kinds of hugs.

First, there’s the “Buddy” hug the quick arm-wrap-and-squeeze thing that lasts just amoment ofr two.  The Buddy hug is usually accompanied by patting or pounding depending on whether you’re with a twink or a bear.  Sometimes, straight men will give their gay friends the one-armed version - Continue Reading »

Margaret Cho is, quite simply, a living icon of the stand-up comedy world. More than a comedian and entertainer, the San Francisco native is a strong-voiced activist for womens’ rights and the rights of gays and lesbians. And now the power she wields will only grow as her new VH1 reality show, The Cho Show premieres this week.

It’s difficult to tap into something unknown about a comedian that even your mother has heard of, but someone like Margaret Cho is nothing, if not an endless well of interest and creativity.

The following video was originally broadcast on PunchlineMagazine.com.

It’s hard to find a comedian quite like Elvira Kurt. Perhaps best known in the States for her painfully hilarious insights about growing up as the gay daughter of Hungarian immigrants in her native Toronto, she is also a seasoned television personality with a unique knack for bringing audiences directly into her equally unique world.

Not only is the stand-up veteran a cheeky performer with all the right resume highlights - the tours, the films, the television, the Second City stint - she’s also a vocal advocate for women’s rights, LGBTQ rights, and a seasoned performer of Eve Ensler’s iconic ode to every-women’s “down-there,” The Vagina Monologues. With a recent appearance at the Michigan Womyn’s Festival and an ongoing gig as a Canadian TV superstar, the

We’ve just discovered a great new social networking website, iJoke.tv.

iJoke.tv is a new comedy web community, founded by the Improv’s Budd Friedman. They have a growing list of comedian/comedy writer/sketch troupe/performer/booker/prod co./humor zine/etc. members and, while still in its developmental stages looks like this will be a site to watch out for in the future.  However, a search for members who’ve identified themselves as “Gay” turned up zero results.  So all you homo-comedians better get over there and add some material.
