I think it's kind of crazy that we're still calling comedians "female comedians." That seems more like a sneak attack.

Ilana Glazer

'2 Dope Queens,' it was just a way for us to showcase female comedians, showcase comedians of color, showcase LGBT comedians, and shake up the landscape and be like, 'Hey, there is more than just what is out there.'

Phoebe Robinson

I definitely relate so much to a lot of women in comedy, but I don't love segregating the genders. I'm just as influenced by male comedians as I am female comedians.

Wanda Sykes

I'm a comedian because I want people to like me. That's really why all comedians are comedians.

The women doing comedy do not even think of themselves as 'female' comedians.

Jen Kirkman

I feel that for a lot of my career, I had success, I was adored, but I was also this alien creature. I want to show that I have the skill like any other female model, and I'm asking for the same equal treatment and equal respect as any other female model.
