Video Of The Day: For All The Ladies ‘Who Look Like They Don’t Sleep With Men’
CAMERON ESPOSITO
Cameron Esposito is the future of comedy. Don´t take our word for it-Jay Leno was the first to herald Esposito as the next great stand-up comedian. Born in Chicago to a super-Catholic family, Esposito wanted initially to be a priest. But she found her true calling in performing her wry and very funny brand of confessional comedy with universal appeal. She´s appeared on Late Late with Craig Ferguson, @midnight, Conan, Last Call with Carson Daly, Maron and other shows, plus SXSW and the Just for Laughs festivals in Montreal, Toronto and Chicago. Her second album, Same Sex Symbol, released in 2014, debuted at number one on the iTunes comedy chart. Esposito also hosts two podcasts, Put Your Hands Together, an audio version of her stand-up show; and Wham Bam Pow, a sci-fi/action movie show, and writes a regular column on the stand-up life for the AV Club. "Like most comics, I draw material from my life. When I talk about my relationship, I speak as someone who is still fighting for equal rights. I´m blessed to work in my field at this time in history," Esposito says, "when I can effect change just by being open about the person I am." -KL
Cameron Esposito is our lesbian guru.
You know when you’re clearly, clearly, clearly CLEARLY trying to look hot for another woman, and a man decides to tell you you’re dressed a little too, uh, butch?
And you want to scream from the rooftops “BRO, do I LOOK like someone who wants to sleep with men?” Sometimes if it looks like a lesbian, and it talks like a lesbian, and it walks like a lesbian, it’s a lesbian, dudes. So no, you’re “critiquing” of our style isn’t very effective. We know that most men aren’t going drool over our ties and blazers and slacks and shiny shoes and short haircuts. We’re dressing for women, you dumb-dumb. It’s all very calculated.
Well lucky for us, Queen Cameron Esposito (one of our most favorite comics ever) uses her stand-up prowess to set men who tell us we aren’t dressing “attractive enough” STRAIGHT.
