  • Welcome! These comedy clips are from a large video collection that is now being converted from VHS/Beta to digital. There is some viewing quality loss from the original video source due to the age of the tapes, but the performances are preserved and still a joy to view.

    “I invited her here tonight because of what she does standing up, not what she does laying down.” That's powerful. Yeah, no matter what she does laying down, it doesn't take anything away from what she does standing up. She's hilarious :)

    Dear Young People: In context of the year [ Arsenio Hall timeline - was it the beginning or end of the 1980's? * EDIT: 1993 ], Lea Delaria being out was ahead of the pack for being out on broadcast t.v. We were out like that since the late 1970's, but nobody had gotten onto mainstream media about it. This was maybe a decade before Ellen DeGeneres [edit:1997] and Rosie O'Donnell [2002] and Melissa Etheridge [Edit: earlier or same] went public. Maybe Sandra Bernhardt started rumors by being provocative with Madonna about going to The Cubbyhole, but even that was probably later, on Letterman. KD Laing perhaps then though! I am trying to remember even the timeline of fictional out major film releases. We had independent film festivals.We knew about Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner, but that was "Entre Nous" then. If I was diligent, I would write the dates for all the women out, but it is searchable. The book The Celluloid Closet denotes earlier time and doesn't cover all media of pop culture. We had GLAD, so maybe they have an archive (Gay and Lesbian Anti-Defamation).[Written on You Tube 2019 and just off the cuff without research by a lesbian out since teen in 1975-7 and into perpetuity.]

      @Gab17 D Thanks, but I was too off the cuff. I wanted to explain the energy of her stand up though, because that wouldn't be the same deal today. That was early for broadcast t.v. Found another clip from this same show; Oopsie, so it was 1993 date determined by the talk of national lgbtq march on Washington, DC during Clinton administration in other part of interview. (She was 34-35 in 1993.) KD Lang was out at least by 1992 in The Advocate, but in a gender bending role before that in film "Salmonberries." Melissa Etheridge out in song 1993. DeGeneres coming out episode was 1997. Rosie O'Donnell out to public later - in 2002.
