non binary

While older, stodgier comedians (some of whom just came out with a Netflix special this week) will get hung up on pronouns, there is an ever burgeoning crowd of Non-binary comedians that eschew the gender binary and, consequently, have the best jokes about using they/them. Sammy Mowrey is a bright and shining example of this as they have carved out their place in LA comedy between a handful of their own shows and their acutely, hilarious observed world view when it comes to being Non-binary, Bipolar, and wanting to have their own sitcom (multi-cam or single-cam). We talk with Sammy about how exactly it is to be Non-binary in comedy in 2022 and what might lie in the future for them.

Also, “hot” takes on Caroline’s on Broadway closing and The Daily Show’s upcoming stable of fill-in hosts.

Brand new stand-up that was recorded with a live audience (that’s pre-pandemic) is in short supply it would seem. It almost seems like an alternate universe whenever you do get to hear or see such a thing, especially if it’s a well-crafted, forward thinking.

Luckily, there’s such an hour that arrived last week from Rhea Butcher in Pull Yourself Up By Your Bootleg is their latest record and the latest release from the always stellar AST Records. Though it may take a second to adjust to hearing people clearly laugh while they’re gathered very close in an dark, enclosed place, it is a refreshing reminder of not only how truly wonderful it was to enjoy stand-up in the before times (and we’ll get back to enjoying stand-up like that at some point in the future), but how great Rhea as a stand-up deftly and joyfully dismantling our ideas of gender as a non-binary person. Butcher’s fills the album with carefully examined observations and polished stories that include facets of their non-binary identity intersecting with being a hillbilly and it is, simply put, a hoot.

With all of that in mind, go get or stream Pull Yourself Up By Your Bootleg here.
