Welcome to this is Jen episode 76. I'm so organized now. I know my own episode number. This is your favorite podcast by a mom of six atheistic Catholic convert stand up comic. I know there's a lot of competition in that space. I know that that is, you know, if you feel like if you heard one podcast with that description. You heard them all that this one is the best. Leave a review on iTunes. I read every single one personally. I never

Excuse me. I will be there in September also in September Toledo Ohio and Cincinnati. And then after that, I go to Pittsburgh. We've gotten a lot of requests for Pittsburgh. So I'm so excited about that city Hartford and Albany. You can get those tickets at J F comedy tour.com J F of course stands for Jennifer full while are for your convenience. I know that nobody can spell full while are so J F comedy tour.com.

I can that I'm making it easy for you now. Excuse me. I want to begin by I don't it's been a while here. This is normally the kind of thing I talk about on Patreon. It's been a while since I I talked about my mission for what I'm doing in comedy like what what what gets me going like what you know what really keeps me going through that through the tough times.

And let me tell you it's part of my job is putting myself out there all the time you guys see the sketches I do on social media things like that. And I do it because I love it and it's just fun. It is also part of the job of my agents really appreciate it when you keep your name out there.

Because you know that's how that's how you share your message is to you have to keep your name out there in the mix and in the marketplace of ideas and let me just tell you that the the rejection that you feel with that the I someone yesterday

I'm left to comment and I deleted it not because I mine but I I feel like it makes my fans days worse and and they feel like they need to stand up for me. So some anonymous person on Instagram was like you are not funny at all you should just give up.

This you just have no talent and you know people like you get that all the time you get that all the time when you put yourself out there and I would say that putting yourself out there trying to be funny is is even more gut-wrenching because you know when you're when you're trying to make someone laugh and they're like no you're you're terrible.

And I mean not a day goes by that I don't have some man be like a gentlewiler is not just women aren't funny women aren't funny so Amazon the official Amazon prime account hosted is person clips from my stand up comedy special they did it on tiktok and they also did it.

Also did it on on Instagram and it's doing really well it's gotten a lot of it's gotten a big response it did got a really big response on tiktok my stand up comedy clip was actually one of their better performing things and so so here we have it if I can yeah I'm not going to be able to unmute it but you can see it this is actually not my fault the stupid Instagram won't let me unmute it.

So those of you watching on Facebook can see this but or we'll be able to in just a second. So you know it did really well it got lots of likes and I was really excited about you know people sharing it and you can see the you can see the subtitles there and so I was all excited about it and then I made the mistake of reading the comments and of course people have to hate and someone was like women aren't funny.

And and then someone else jumped in and said no she's just not funny and you know what you know what really is a bummer about that shady it got a lot of likes I mean it wasn't like some rando that everyone ignored there's something like 40 people between the women aren't funny and this particular woman gentle while there is not funny it got a lot of people were like yeah yeah no she is not good at this time to these who has to who hates and then and see this is where sometimes I worry I don't know I do

have a little bit of a of a stalker personality type because I looked up that guy's page the one who said who was like kind of trying to stand up for women like oh no I'm sure that gender I'm sure it's possible for them to be funny just not this one.

And I looked up his page and he's an artist and he puts his art out there okay was it in my heart to leave a nasty comment about his art and let him know how that feels to have someone just drive by you know be really rude it was but then and then I thought no you know what I

should compliment him on his art I should turn this situation around and be like hey dude you're a really talented artist you know but he

had like 300 followers I have a verified account you know like I have this comedy special and I thought so that

would be it would be obvious the game that I'm playing it would be weird it would be petty so I didn't do it but

did I spend 10 minutes practically finding everything except for this guy's mom's home address yes I did

I have it in me I have it I always feel like I am I'm a half step away from behavior that that could really get me

classified with some sort of very serious with some sort of you anywhere you can't you know shady no you cannot you can't leave me alone

so reading comments to Amazon reposting my stuff like you might think it's cool

doing really well that this got like 25,000 likes on Instagram another clip they've hosted on TikTok it got like
