Big respect for the comedians. There is not any doubt, to be daring and accept that you’re doing something, where it can be embarrassing, and where his jokes fall to the ground. You will not, if you do not take some wild chances, where you can fall too hard through.

Although the balance between the man and woman on the stand-up scenes around the country are becoming more and more equal, so there is a long way for complete equality between the sexes.
– the Truth is that for every female comedians who are not performing the inserts, so there are 20 male, does not. We judge and do not support new comedians on the grounds of gender, we judge and supports from many people’s abilities. And as long as each year is 20 times as many men than women starting up for the first time, then it will be a male-dominated industry, says Brian Dark.
the Comedian says that the industry is for both sexes.
– But fun women accepted eagerly. Not really eagerly in these #Meto and coronatider, he states.
