"The extra mile that I have to cover being a female improviser is that people are not used to seeing women on stage being funny so for a lot of shows, for the first ten minutes I have to kind of break that down or address it and get it off their minds so eventually they can just see me as a gender-neutral comedian. I have to spend time in making them get over the fact that I am a woman."
