Paula 'Sexy Isn't Sexist' Wright live at London's free expression comedy club.
We welcome new comedians with something new to say.
What's on next? comedyunleashe...

[@SirKenchalot]

It's like this club is in an alternative universe! One that makes sense.

Andy Kench Totally! You nailed it, times a changing tho, the cultural pendulum is swinging back.

"The Battle of the Sexes will never end... There's too much fraternising with the enemy.

[@porlawright]

Thanks for all the comments, even the bad ones! I'm a free speech advocate and can tolerate dissent. For the record, I am a classical liberal and this way my 2nd ever gig. I'm proud. You don't have to be. :)

[@professorbabaji9540]

Woah! 🤘☺️ Great one! Keep it up!

[@RAIRADIO]

Your logic is flawless... timing will follow.

[@posterboyuk1]

Well done!

[@harnois75]

Good job. Nice to see someone sane standing up and saying it as it is, and getting laughs from those that recognise the truths you've highlighted.

[@Martinvt123]

Well done Paula, I found this erudite and funny, an unusual combination, but enjoyable, and would make me want to hear more!

[@cigh7445]

I love the way someone can stand on stage and tell the truth without making jokes, and it counts as stand up comedy and makes me laugh.

[@empower.1982]

Women can be funnish

[@phobosdnadna]

I hope Paula Wright's career really takes off. Nice job Paula! Looking forward to seeing more of your craft in the future.

[@porlawright]

Many thanks!

[@P.Whitestrake]

This ain't a stand up comedy. This is a TED Talk. One of the best ones.

[@neilcreamer8207]

Most TED talks aren't this good.

[@mellowfellow6816]

I enjoyed the video more than the comments

[@GreasyBelcher]

Man... I live in Australia now and sometimes dream of going back to London just to attend a night this club.

[@crystalnichols7224]

When she said, "sugar lumps" all I could think of was the Flight of the Concords song.

[@KalonOrdona2]

Could people calm down with the nitpicking? You have to call it comedy to get the uncensored, nowadays, and plenty of all of these are funny as well. Enjoy it! Plant it like trees so we can breathe the free air again!

[@primusro]

I didn't found her funny, but her logic is pretty flawless.

[@JosiahWarren]

Because she is a woman. Woman are evolutionary not funny this is indisputable. The ironic thing is she mentions evolutionary theory.

[@JosiahWarren]

@R J oh my fucking Darwin. You don't believe in gravity also? . Stupid fuck. Now I know that you fucking exist. I hope you get a Darwin award soon pice of shit

[@pulsaran]

Radu Ungureanu I don't know..... somehow women cant stop talking about there boobs and pussy to make comedy and then call men obsessed with them as the joke.... oow the ironie XD

[@YammoYammamoto]

Compared to bits about how their hole is stinking like an animal-farm.... I actually chuckled once-or-twice. Perhaps that was just a surprise-reaction when hearing logic coming from a woman. :)

[@thehussarsjacobitess85]

@@JosiahWarren Nah, it's nurture, not nature. Women who have suffered socially like men and have never experienced chivalry have to choose between humour and rancor. Those that choose humour and of course train themselves to see absurdities are funny (and yes, alas, aside from Jeanne Robertson and Carol Burnett, I only personally know 2 women who fit this bill).

[@KingsCountyLightHaus]

The woman is razor sharp. Thanks for this.

[@MrX-hz2hn]

Well...that was definitely fun, surprisingly informative, undoubtedly eloquent, robustly argued and surprisingly funny. I'm just not sure it was comedy. 10/10 would like to see more of whatever this is.

[@muninraven3327]

So refreshing. Comedy for the masses. The average adult.

[@honestjohn6418]

Good work Paula x

[@npcla1]

Brilliant! Not often you go to a comedian and learn this much!

[@kimjongunono.1588]

This needed to be said. Nice work.

[@captainbuggy5260]

Not particularly funny per se, but she did get progressively more and more fancyable during the set.

[@jonstern7511]

Refreshing and excellent

[@punkisinthedetails1470]

yup the bar keeps quite a selection. that way you won't be so disappointed by the piss poor acts they make you pay for.

[@punkisinthedetails1470]

@R J Hey RJ. KZbin is limited to 1 thumbs up so here are some more 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. A bunch of people seem to be in love with this channel. Many because it is more right wing I guess. That doesn't escape the fact that almost all the acts are utter garbage. Like not even cruise ship warm up lame. This lady is like some MLM marketer for a popular adult products vendor or a sex ed. teacher trying to be cooool. Like a femalr David Brent. Self absorbed but not self aware.

[@rauminen4167]

@@punkisinthedetails1470 It's sad that common sense is branded right wing nowadays.

[@punkisinthedetails1470]

@@rauminen4167 these comedians all identify as right wing. That isn't the issue. The problem is they aren't good comedians by any stretch. Would you go and see a really terrible music act or a movie just because you shared some of the same opinions as the performers? This act isn't even right wing it is just someone thinking they are edgy when they come across like some MLM marketing rally host. Like a female David Brent.

[@rauminen4167]

@@punkisinthedetails1470 No, no they don't. People call them right wing, as if that was a smear. You also seem to forget that your opinions are not facts. I see some people here liking her sketch, and she did get some decent laughs. The sad thing is, as I said, that common sense is now a right wing thing, along with freedom of speech and classical liberalism. The even saddest thing is that people self-censor, lest they offend someone's fragile ego... even if that person is imaginary. Sometimes even the laughs are stifled. Sad, very sad, I don't like where this is going at all.

[@ironjohnlad]

brilliant talk and funny as well

[@paulg4815]

Haha brilliant! I always liked "shirt potatoes" as a term for boobs lol

[@romancandlefight1144]

Sound was pretty good!

[@Bradley_Lute]

Paula is great! Comedy is a great way of bringing evolutionary psychology to the mainstream. She also has a great Facebook group called Darwinian Gender Studies. While it is not for the layman, it is a great resource for those wanting access to the findings of ep in relation to gender.

[@cleftpoinus6197]

well formulated set.

[@richyburnett8982]

Paula, dont stop doing comedy. Go watch 'The prestige' and then hone your craft. You are so needed at the moment. At the moment, youre fun, friendly and amusing....you could be hilarious. Stick with it. I will be keeping an eye out for you on youtube. At the moment youre a bolognese, I think you could be a chilli (con carne? ha ha)

[@porlawright]

Covid, interrupted. I'm honing!

[@philwatts]

Wow. A female stand-up with a set about the female anatomy.

[@paulg4815]

Lots of salty lefties tryna bring her down. Imagine not having a sense of humour at all. At least there's lots of Orange man bad comedians on TV for them

[@spinozacelt]

Sent this video to Nicola Sturgeon.I'm sure she'll like it.

[@arceusflute369]

XD omg that was awesome

[@JureS]

Top marks!!!

Wonderful news for a despondent middle aged news. God bless.

I have yet to find a female comedian that I find funny, this one included, she does however make several very valid points about female sexuality that is very refreshing in this day and age

[@pauldecoster]

sidney001 She’s like Richard Attenborough

[@ashsmitty2244]

Ali Wong.

[@JennySparkz]

@@richyburnett8982 Went and had a watch and going to have to disagree. Had to leave after a few mins as it just didn't seem funny.

[@gedhession]

I seem to recall Desmond Morris claiming that since humans are the only animal that has sex face to face (apart from the sloth), the female cleavage acts as a substitute for the buttocks

[@RAIRADIO]

Not when u r lying down. It falls flat.

[@empower.1982]

This proves Women can be funnish

[@staninjapan07]

Good gig, but with the serious bits thrown in it kind of pulled me out of comedy mode. Great experiment, though, and that's damned important in comedy. I reckon it's one of those that's proibably better when you're there.

[@incarceron1]

I love English (from England). So many words for breasts XD

[@johnames1987]

Not Stereotypical, Archetypical... brilliant. Will agree it felt more like an entertaining Ted talk rather than a comedy performance, but I was happy all the science was actually cogently explained. Clear a science background too. Any one keen for a hate fuck?

[@nannymcfees1328]

Love the pegging joke lol

[@richardkuda321]

Nice.

[@fivish]

The peacock male has the feathers. The female likes males with big feathers!

Trust a Geordie girl to talk about sex.

Mrs Attenborough :) And the audience seems to not agree with the "it's not funny" premise .

[@richyburnett8982]

lol love that nickname

[@harrymills2770]

Making a point about about evolutionary biology and those whose religion denies it, namely, radical feminists. I'm an old, deaf American, so half of the clever bits were too low and fast for me to pick up.

[@strangetranceoffaith]

Liked her but needs to be funnier

[@marialiyubman]

I’m sad she’s not funny, though. You’ve had many hilarious female comedians before.

[@aardvarkmindshank]

I'm assuming it's not too sexist to say that this women isn't funny. Like basically all women "so-called" comediennes :D

[@ChrisHFal]

Is this Paula Wright from The Fast Show?

[@eyesofisabelofficial]

Arabella Weir.

[@ThisIsWhyWeFight]

Well, I thought I’d give a female comedian a chance, because this channel has introduced some really funny comedians, but I’m still waiting for the comedy, although I don’t disagree with most of her points. If I wanted a lecture with a barely interested laugh track, I’d go back to a leftist uni.

[@punkisinthedetails1470]

Yup. I have tried saying this elsewhere on this comments section with the predictable response of " well that's just your opinion " or " right wing is just common sense " when I haven't said I am stating my opinions as fact or whether right wing comedy is good or not. Acts like this do set the bar ridiculously low. This isn't an open mic spot at a bar these are supposed to be professional comedians. Regardless of world view their delivery, timing, pace is awful and their content lacks originality regardless of whether you agree or not with their world view. Like I have said to others you wouldn't pay to see an obviously terrible band just because you " agree " with them

[@punkisinthedetails1470]

True of many comedians on this channel. Not edgy, not even particularly right wing, just unfunny people telling other's their opinion and views with all the comedic talent of David Brent or sometimes not even that. Like a sex ed teacher or MLM marketing seminar host who is the office extrovert when many talented comedians are typically quite introverted and don't have such a self absorbed vibe.

[@punkisinthedetails1470]

@R J Thanks, although it is just my opinion. The problem is some think this channel is providing a platform for a niche but all it is providing is a platform for people who think they are comedians. They may be a bit funny in a social setting they still aren't talented or just unheardof. This venue gives the impression to them they are and takes money from the audience to make a quick buck. This is Pub Rock comedy not Punk Rock comedy. Karaoke for people who miss clubbing when they were half the age

[@Spark-In-The-Dark]

I hope she has another skill to pay her bills...

[@soulfuzz368]

Nope

[@christopherrichards1744]

She is not funny.

[@gearoid72]

'chesticles' was about as good as it got

[@Sentinel82]

Geez....Why can't women ever be funny......

[@craiglyons8946]

They can. You just cant accept it. Joan rivers was a legend, Roseanne smashed it for decades and Tina Fey has written some of the best sitcoms ever made.

[@dominic9983]

Deeply unfunny.

[@samwatson3588]

For you perhaps

[@punkisinthedetails1470]

It's not anti feminist. It's like a sex ed teacher trying to be edgy. This whole channel is total Paula Wright.

[@ionlyfearphobophobia]

This... isn't comedy, this is just preaching while using a wired voice and slightly more hand movements. I mean, i can see what she's trying to do, instead of self-deprecating humor, she's going for a more of a Lee Evens clown thing, but it doesn't work like this. The entire basis of that type of humor isn't being wired, even though he does that a lot, it's more about getting the audience to actually mentally visualize something absurd of everyday life. And in order for that type of humor to work, it needs to be on subjects the speaker isn't that invested in, otherwise the audience takes it too seriously and hence can't laugh at the absurdity of it.

[@johnhandshake4460]

thanks for this... if you have the time, could you please write a comprehensive list of what it and isn't comedy? that would help a lot of people who're unsure whether to laugh at certain "comedy" bits or not.

[@ionlyfearphobophobia]

Sure thing; "comedy is that which makes people laugh with someone trying to make them laugh, and the more they do laugh the more it is comedy". The laughter in the audience here was on par with a bad clown making funny faces, because her goal was not to make people laugh first a foremost, it was to preach her ideas.

[@weisland2807]

@@johnhandshake4460 hehe

[@GeraldSmallbear]

John Handshake he’s right and you’re popular. Oh look it’s the internet.

[@punkisinthedetails1470]

This isn't comedy. This is like a lame sex ed teacher trying to be cool or a warm up act at an adult MLM sales conference. This whole channel is garbage. Right or Left none of these individuals are funny or have comedic pace or delivery. Like an uninspired one page PowerPoint by the self appointed funny person at a company function.

[@n.d.4192]

Just interesting enough to keep me until the end but not really comedy stand up. Women do many things very well comedy isn't one of those things.
