Probably 
It's a good character, I think the material can be sharpened up though. But it did make me smile, so good work.

I agree. It's the first thing I made about three years ago (I still have my really long hair in it. 
).
I plan to do more with the character, though I find it hard playing a sad, dippy idiot. 
Well that was VERY good acting then 
i think it is difficult for female writers/performers as there is a shocking dirth of influences/role models out there. for me some of this did work well, although you need to look towards capturing the zeitgeist a bit more. still, it was superior to garbage like katy brand and other women like that.

Really?
At many of the clubs I know, the audience is always extremely kind to women comedians in the hope that the jokes are just a prelude to getting their kit off.

Thanks for your comments Jim. 
The films are all a few years old now, so no they aren't very zeitgeisty - hopefully I'll be making some new ones soon.

I think the general consensus is that most people inwardly groan to themselves when a female stand-up is introduced (I've been guilty of that too I hate to say) even if they might not be as outwardly aggressive. Some gigs like Jongleurs type clubs are notoriously hard for female stand-ups.
No one has wanted me to take my clothes off.

Yes women taking their clothes off Don and Roodeye is great isn't it? Can We stick to critiquing material in critique please.

Marc,
My posting is entirely relevant to the thread as it addresses the question of society's attitude to women comedians trying to succeed in what has always been a male-dominated arena - a matter of supreme relevance to the author and subject of this thread, I would have thought.
However, be that as it may, on September 21, 2009 at 2:19 PM BST, you posted to the Critique section on Adam Blaize's thread a message to tell Bigfella your local pub is just around the corner from where you live.
I have to say the words 'pot' and 'kettle' spring to mind.

Was that the name of the pub?

I actually spit my coffee out when I read that.
Very funny quip.

And on this point ladies and gentle of the jury I rest my case.

Here's a couple of monlogues by my favourite character. Sadly she's probably the most like me.
Very good indeed. You should have a stab at a longer monologue. Ten fifteen minutes maybe. Or a half hour?

I was thinking feature length.
Or do a Borat/Bruno type thing.
