Ellie Kemper Asks: Can Men Be Funny?




“Reading a chapter from Warren Buffett’s Tap Dancing to Work the other day, I was surprised to find myself chuckling out loud. Now this guy is kind of funny, I thought to myself as I turned the page and grabbed another Danish. This guy is kind of making me laugh. And those thoughts that I had quietly, in my head, to myself, made me realize just how rarely I do have those thoughts in my head. And that thought led me to another thought, which was: why is that? Why, on the whole, are men just not that funny?”

Redhead role model.

It just occurred to me today that I have only been willing to dye my hair red in the last year or so because Ellie is in LA. Like, if she were to come back I would probably have to go brown, because I couldn’t deal with trying to be a redhead in her presence?
She’s coming back for DCM so I will probably have to assiduously avoid her, because she still intimidates the heck out of me.
Oh, and don’t worry dudes. I find some men funny, on occasion.

Brrrrrrr Stick em!!! Fat Boys are looking to hype our world tour at your show! Book us and have your souls rocked!

Finally! I’m laughing at the idea of seeing you two perform together.

This is unbearably funny as a premise. Unbearably. Want to see. Want. Want. Want.

It’s so hypnotic! Check out the music video here or the whole web series at MyDadIsInABoyBand.com. Schmidty made the GIF.


Remember how this morning I was saying that I was going to look at a cat gif for like 10 hours? No? Good, because I am going to watch this video for the next 15 hours.

About Me

I am a French-Iranian woman in New York. I have a passion for comedy, and have been lucky to be performing all over New York since 2010. I was a TV producer and a head writer for a morning live news show in France, as well as a free lance journalist and a book editor for many years.

Now, I am a life and a career coach (member of
ICF
) and a comedian, and an improviser and a show producer - because life is too short and I want it all!

Also, I believe in love.

I am a performer at the UCB & used to produce a show at The PIT in New York.

Check out my indie teams: Pou&Nic and PANTS!.

My other blog: International Comedy Team

My French blog: La Vie à l'Impro

I used to be involved with the Diversity Initiative at the UCB and manage their blog too: UCBDifference.tumblr.com

I fight cancer with a passion - I want to contribute to a world where cancer will be as benign as a simple cold. Where you can donate against cancer of any kind and give hope to families and patients
