Lesbian comedian Sabrina Matthews claims not to know a thing about lesbian culture. She knows very little about flannel, doesn't have a girlfriend and doesn't know why lesbians get bad haircuts. One thing she does know is that lesbians keep their fingernails short, and for good reason.
On today's show Sabrina relates to us her experiences as a stand up comedian. She chats with us about the first time she did comedy and how she decided to turn it into a exciting career. Sabrina tells us that she gets a lot of feedback form her audience and that the audience's reaction to her routine can greatly affect her delivery. (HINT, HINT- Comments on the website are like clapping, booing, cheering and laughing to us.)
She has a hard time in the Midwest because she doesn't quite know why they love her so much but don't laugh out loud like people in other parts of the country. Marc tries to explain that Midwesterners are very even in their temperament and that they don't have the highs and the lows that other people have. What do you guys think?
We have a lot of questions for Sabrina and the answer often ends up being about the sea. It seems that every time we talk to lesbians it always ends up going to the sea. What's up with the SEA? What are lesbians tapping into here? Why does the sea keep coming up? Are they tuned into something that us les-be-nots aren't?
Everyone knows that life evolved in the sea, but did you know that humanity itself may have evolved in the sea as primates? Scientists use to scoff at the idea that early primates left land to live in the sea but this theory is gaining more credibility as they find more commonalities between aquatic animals such as otters, seal, whales, hippos etc and people than people have with primates and other land based animal like cats and dogs.
Some of the evidence that suggest that we evolved from Sea Monkeys is discussed in this BBC article:
"If we examine the human body, there are a number of adaptations that seem out of place on a savannah-dwelling animal, but make much more sense if you consider them as adaptations to a primarily water-based existence."
We have relatively hairless bodies compared to all the other great apes, which are completely covered in hair. Very few mammals are as completely hairless as humans, and most of those that are live in an aquatic environment. Also, what little hair we have does not sprout randomly, but is aligned to direct water to our midline, minimising drag.
Mammals have many mechanisms for shedding excess heat, including panting, insulating layers of fur - camel fur keeps the heat out - and bathing in cooling mud or water. Humans lose heat primarily by sweating. This costs the body vital salt, which would be a problem for a plains-dwelling animal, but not for one that lived close to or in the sea. Crying salt tears is a unique human trait, which may have evolved as a way to shed excess salt."

Maybe this is why so many folks like the sea? Because its getting them in touch with a deep primal sense of self? Who knows. But I do know that Sabrina is going to appear at HRC's Laughing Out Loud benefit in Chicago. Come out for a good cause!

Sabrina Matthews's Blurbs |
About me:
Sabrina Matthews is an openly lesbian comic who relates the absurd in everyday life in a witty anecdotal style. "Sabrina's brand of comedy is infectious," says afterellen.com, and she "regularly draws out big laughs from both gay and straight audiences." Her hilarious half-hour comedy special, "Comedy Central Presents Sabrina Matthews", was a big hit, she is a star of 2006's hit documentary, Laughing Matters More! and made her television acting debut in "America's Most Wanted". (Yes, really.) You can follow Sabrina's tour at www.sabrinamatthews.com.
Sabrina began her comedy career in the San Francisco Bay Area, and now appears regularly at clubs, colleges, cruises, and festivals around the world. On the rare days that she is home amidst the doughnut shops and dude-speak of Los Angeles, Sabrina spends her days scuba diving, teaching her dogs not to eat furniture, engaging in her favorite game (Point and Laugh), and generally doing anything else to avoid rifling through the heap of letters from the IRS teetering on her desk in search of tiny, hastily scribbled comedy notes. All in comfortable shoes.
