Don't miss more comedy from Kate Clinton.©1998 Uproar Entertainment (P)1998 Uproar EntertainmentEditorial reviews
Kate Clinton treads the boards of comedy, riffing on politics, relationships, and family in this stand-up sendup. Clinton exudes gallant gaiety in her good humored examination of lesbian life lessons. The self-described "fumerist", or "feminist humorist" is uplifting and engaging in this ode to lesbian icons, from Hillary Clinton to She-Ra. Veering beyond LGBTQ issues, the former schoolteacher is on point as she takes on corporatism, consumerism, and the "dot calm" bust. Clinton has no need for the cynicism and obscenity that so often colors contemporary comedy. On the contrary, this winning wit dishes out humor that heals, affirms, and celebrates diversity.

Story4 out of 5 stars 583
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,017
Separated by 10 years, 3,000 miles, and the unrelenting stresses of adulthood, best friends Janet and Serena plan a 40th birthday girls’ trip to reconnect. But after a massive crash, they’re the only survivors to wash ashore on an uncharted Caribbean Island. Armed with only the clothes on their backs and zero survival skills, they fight to overcome hunger, thirst, deadly wildlife—and most terrifyingly—decades of accrued resentment. Can they find their way home, or will they kill each other first?

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,533
A bad best man’s speech can ruin a wedding. Why do we plan every detail of a perfect day and then give the groom’s idiot best friend five minutes of total power? Enter Nate (Glen Powell), a speechwriter-for-hire who helps people write incredible best man speeches. To keep the best man from embarrassing himself (and the newlyweds), Nate uses his list of don’ts: Don’t mention the exes, don’t be rated R, and don’t bum everyone out. Nate’s system never fails. That is, until he meets Dan (Nicholas Braun).

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

Alice's journey begins as all good journeys do: hitting on the sales guy at REI. After a tumultuous breakup, a quick career transition, family upheaval, and a sobriety journey that didn't fix her life quite as much as she expected it to, Alice decides that the only way to solve all her problems is to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. But as she begins preparing for the months-long quest, she realizes the answers she's seeking might not be on top of a snow-covered mountain. Especially since she just learned there was snow in California.

Kate Rocked My world, And Made me Laugh!
What did you love best about Comedy You Can Dance To?
Mostly because of her political truths and general observations of life, She presents in such a funny way that it just makes you laugh really hard until you are half crying while you are laughing so hard.
What did you like best about this story?
I liked the part monologue on PCH and how they half to someday half to come to a gay household, And I like her stuff about her lover and her stuff on GAP stores. The Gap store stuff was super funny, Just the who CD is funny from start to finish, Just the way she looks at at life in America. And I know some of this CD is dated but it still stand up and is as funny today as it was in the 90's when she recorded it, It's just the way she views life. She recorded it before the year 2000 and makes reference to it but like it still holds up and is true today stuff. The Viagra stuff was really funny too. And the Clinton Stuff was Awesome. And Xena, She-Ra, And George Bush and...
Which character – as performed by the narrator – was your favorite?
It's all Kate just her doing her monologue. And Boy does she make she laugh, She is the godmother of all the lesbian comedy. She was the great first great lesbian comedy (OK, Lilly Tomlin but she didn't do Lesbian comedy.)
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Kate did a DVD of her stand up which is very funny. I wish there were more films of her doing her stand up acts over the years, I saw her live in the early 90's at the South Woman's Music Festival and she made the weekend. The best act there over all the music acts. I loved her.
Any additional comments?
Just a funny story, while at the South Woman's Music Festival every one had to work a job for so many hours so I ended up working security for the back stage entrance, so I couldn't really see the stage very well but I could hear it well. Anyway I hear Kate and loved her. Later she came to get her stuff and I stopped her because she didn't have the back stage pass thing. Anyway her girl friend did. So I let them back. And As I was holding them up I asked them if they caught Kate Clinton because she was Awesome. And Kate was much amused. Anyway when she came back with her custom I realized who I had stopped and just felt stupid. But she was nice about it. At least I told her she was Awesome when I didn't know who she was. .
