00:00:09,709 --> 00:00:13,079
{\an8}Good evening, Montreal!

7
00:00:13,079 --> 00:00:15,215
{\an8}Bonsoir, Montréal!

00:00:15,215 --> 00:00:17,217
{\an8}<i>Comment ça va?</i>

9
00:00:17,217 --> 00:00:19,486
Thank you, please.

10
00:00:19,486 --> 00:00:21,454
A long evening ahead of us.

11
00:00:21,454 --> 00:00:23,356
Uh, hello, everybody.

12
00:00:23,356 --> 00:00:26,359
First of all, I hope you
appreciate the lighting tonight.

13
00:00:26,359 --> 00:00:27,794
(woman): Woo!

14
00:00:27,794 --> 00:00:29,729
It's called bisexual lighting.

15
00:00:29,729 --> 00:00:30,964
(audience): Woo!

16
00:00:30,964 --> 00:00:34,367
Um, there will be no overhead
lighting this evening.

17
00:00:34,367 --> 00:00:35,668
(laughter)

18
00:00:35,668 --> 00:00:38,004
This is a hate crime-free zone!

19
00:00:39,472 --> 00:00:42,742
Welcome to One Night Out,
my name is Tilda Swinton!

20
00:00:42,742 --> 00:00:43,977
(laughter)

21
00:00:43,977 --> 00:00:45,378
- Woo!
- Yes!

22
00:00:45,378 --> 00:00:47,380
No I'm not,
I-I-I am Alan Cumming,

23
00:00:47,380 --> 00:00:50,917
and I will be your host for this
evening of queer hilarity!

24
00:00:50,917 --> 00:00:53,053
(cheering)(applause)

25
00:00:53,053 --> 00:00:55,655
And it's going to be
a doozy of an evening,

26
00:00:55,655 --> 00:00:57,090
I can feel it!

27
00:00:57,090 --> 00:01:01,161
We're all agog,
the smell of poppers is pungent.

28
00:01:01,161 --> 00:01:02,495
(laughter)

29
00:01:02,495 --> 00:01:06,599
But, the Grindr notifications
are on silent.

30
00:01:06,599 --> 00:01:09,135
There's so many
lesbians with us tonight!

31
00:01:09,135 --> 00:01:10,470
(audience): Woo!

32
00:01:10,470 --> 00:01:13,773
Yes! I heard it's been
murder trying to get

33
00:01:13,773 --> 00:01:15,141
a cat sitter in this town!

34
00:01:15,141 --> 00:01:17,210
(laughter)

35
00:01:19,379 --> 00:01:21,948
And a big welcome to our
trans brothers and sisters!

36
00:01:22,082 --> 00:01:24,350
(audience): Woo!

37
00:01:24,350 --> 00:01:29,022
There are uh, more septum
piercings in this room

38
00:01:29,022 --> 00:01:31,925
than in all the cattle
in Calgary, apparently!

39
00:01:31,925 --> 00:01:33,126
(laughter)
Oh, I should've said,

40
00:01:33,126 --> 00:01:35,762
Sorry, if there are any
straight men in the audience,

41
00:01:35,762 --> 00:01:37,464
thank you for your support.

42
00:01:37,464 --> 00:01:40,767
Thank you for your visibility,
it's always nice putting a face

43
00:01:40,767 --> 00:01:43,136
to the blank profiles on Grindr.

44
00:01:43,136 --> 00:01:45,405
(laughter)

45
00:01:45,405 --> 00:01:47,574
(applause)

46
00:01:48,808 --> 00:01:51,277
Now, I'm sure you've
all noticed, but things

47
00:01:51,277 --> 00:01:54,447
are pretty catastrophic
for queer people these days.

48
00:01:54,447 --> 00:01:57,217
Uh, we're having our rights
ripped away from us,

49
00:01:57,217 --> 00:01:59,986
hate crimes against us
are on the rise,

50
00:01:59,986 --> 00:02:02,522
and of course, our trans
brothers and sisters

51
00:02:02,522 --> 00:02:03,957
are being persecuted,

52
00:02:03,957 --> 00:02:06,292
and in some countries, like
the United States of America,

53
00:02:06,292 --> 00:02:09,596
governments are actually
legislating that trans people

54
00:02:09,596 --> 00:02:13,199
do not exist.
They are trying to erase us.

55
00:02:13,199 --> 00:02:16,469
This worldwide backlash
against us,

56
00:02:16,469 --> 00:02:19,606
it-it can feel daunting,
it can feel overwhelming,

57
00:02:19,606 --> 00:02:22,742
it can feel like there's
nothing we can do about it.

58
00:02:22,742 --> 00:02:24,811
But you know what,
there is something we can do.

59
00:02:24,811 --> 00:02:29,849
And that is, we can come out to
places like this, we can gather,

60
00:02:29,849 --> 00:02:33,019
we can show our support
and our love for our community.

61
00:02:33,019 --> 00:02:36,823
We can find our tribe,
and we can access and express

62
00:02:36,823 --> 00:02:39,826
something that none of those
bigots who want to destroy us

63
00:02:39,826 --> 00:02:43,496
will ever be able
to understand or experience.

64
00:02:43,496 --> 00:02:48,968
Joy! Unadulterated, queer, joy!
(cheering)

65
00:02:48,968 --> 00:02:52,439
(applause)

66
00:02:53,540 --> 00:02:56,242
So...

67
00:02:56,242 --> 00:03:00,313
Now...

68
00:03:00,313 --> 00:03:02,849
I think it's time
to talk about my outfit!

69
00:03:02,849 --> 00:03:05,085
(audience): Woo!

70
00:03:05,085 --> 00:03:09,022
This is not leather, by the way,
I'm a hardcore vegan, babies,

71
00:03:09,022 --> 00:03:13,860
so tonight I'm going for
a sort of, pleather daddy look,

72
00:03:13,860 --> 00:03:15,595
do you like it?

73
00:03:15,595 --> 00:03:16,997
(audience): Woo!

74
00:03:16,997 --> 00:03:18,398
(cheering)

75
00:03:18,398 --> 00:03:21,001
Yes, I turned 60 this year,
I know it's hard to believe,

76
00:03:21,001 --> 00:03:24,003
I know, I know!
No, I don't want your pity.

77
00:03:24,003 --> 00:03:25,772
Um...
(laughter)

78
00:03:25,772 --> 00:03:28,475
Getting older as a queer man
is no picnic,

79
00:03:28,475 --> 00:03:31,678
we are not a community,
gay men that is,

80
00:03:31,678 --> 00:03:34,447
that values the aging
process very much,

81
00:03:34,447 --> 00:03:38,184
I'm sure you've noticed.
You go from being a twink

82
00:03:38,184 --> 00:03:41,054
to an otter or a bear,
or a cub or a chub,

83
00:03:41,054 --> 00:03:43,790
and then there's a period
of about 25 years

84
00:03:43,790 --> 00:03:46,259
when nobody wants to fuck you.
(laughter)

85
00:03:46,259 --> 00:03:49,496
So, you'd better either be in
a long-term relationship,

86
00:03:49,496 --> 00:03:52,198
or be prepared
to furiously masturbate

87
00:03:52,198 --> 00:03:54,701
for quite a long time!
(laughter)

88
00:03:54,701 --> 00:03:58,271
And then, in the blink of
an eye, you become a silver fox

89
00:03:58,271 --> 00:04:01,241
or a daddy, and
the floodgates open,

90
00:04:01,241 --> 00:04:02,776
let me tell you!
(laughter)

91
00:04:02,776 --> 00:04:04,811
Oof! The moisture!

92
00:04:04,811 --> 00:04:06,680
(laughter)

93
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,283
So, as Oprah Winfrey advises,

94
00:04:10,283 --> 00:04:13,953
I am leaning in to
my daddyness tonight.

95
00:04:13,953 --> 00:04:15,155
(audience): Wooo!

96
00:04:15,155 --> 00:04:17,624
And my zaddyness!
(applause)

97
00:04:17,624 --> 00:04:21,194
Yes. One of the things about
getting older is that you start

98
00:04:21,194 --> 00:04:24,864
to forget things, uh, but I um,
don't care, because!

99
00:04:24,864 --> 00:04:26,166
(laughter)

100
00:04:26,166 --> 00:04:28,668
I've been forgetting things
since I was 20, I really have,

101
00:04:28,668 --> 00:04:33,039
but when, um, you forget that
you've had sex with people.

102
00:04:33,039 --> 00:04:34,908
(laughter)

103
00:04:34,908 --> 00:04:37,277
They don't like it!
(laughter)

104
00:04:37,277 --> 00:04:40,513
And this has happened to me
quite a few times in my life,

105
00:04:40,513 --> 00:04:43,917
and one of the most recent
was particularly awful.

106
00:04:43,917 --> 00:04:46,720
I was at this party and I,
erm, met this person and went,

107
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,022
"Hello, I'm Alan." And he went,
"Oh, we've met before."

108
00:04:49,022 --> 00:04:51,524
And there was something
about his tone.

109
00:04:51,524 --> 00:04:54,160
(laughter)

110
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,763
And so I said, "Oh, we have?
Where did we meet?" And he went,

111
00:04:56,763 --> 00:05:00,500
"We met in Los Angeles,
25 years ago." I was like,

112
00:05:00,500 --> 00:05:02,836
"Well, cut me some
fucking slack, bitch!"

113
00:05:02,836 --> 00:05:04,004
(laughter)

114
00:05:04,004 --> 00:05:06,306
And I went, "Oh, really?
We d-we did?"

115
00:05:06,306 --> 00:05:08,475
He went, "Yes, you were
there making a film called

116
00:05:08,475 --> 00:05:09,909
The Anniversary Party."

117
00:05:09,909 --> 00:05:12,712
I went, "Yes, I did make a film
called The Anniversary Party,

118
00:05:12,712 --> 00:05:15,815
25 years ago
in Los Angeles, yes.

119
00:05:15,815 --> 00:05:17,317
Glad you remember!"
(laughter)

120
00:05:17,317 --> 00:05:20,153
And he said, "And yes,
and you had that lovely house

121
00:05:20,153 --> 00:05:21,855
you were renting
in the Hollywood Hills."

122
00:05:21,855 --> 00:05:25,125
I thought, "Uh-oh!"
(laughter)

123
00:05:25,125 --> 00:05:28,194
I went, "Oh, that's right.
Did you, did you ever

124
00:05:28,194 --> 00:05:30,730
go to that house?"
(laughter)

125
00:05:30,730 --> 00:05:32,332
He said, "Yes I did,"

126
00:05:32,332 --> 00:05:36,302
and I said, "Oh, did you ever
spend the night in that house?"

127
00:05:36,302 --> 00:05:39,272
And he went, "Yes I did."
And honestly, crickets, nothing,

128
00:05:39,272 --> 00:05:41,808
zero recollection
of this person!

129
00:05:41,808 --> 00:05:43,677
And uh, and I went,

130
00:05:43,677 --> 00:05:45,478
"I'm so sorry,
help me out here."

131
00:05:45,478 --> 00:05:48,148
And he went, "You remember,
we met in a bar!"

132
00:05:48,148 --> 00:05:50,050
I went, "You'll have to narrow
that one down, darling!"

133
00:05:50,050 --> 00:05:51,451
(laughter)

134
00:05:51,451 --> 00:05:53,820
"We met in a bar, and then we
went back to your house

135
00:05:53,820 --> 00:05:56,856
in the Hollywood Hills,
and we did the business,

136
00:05:56,856 --> 00:06:00,593
and then I stayed the night,
and the next morning, I left."

137
00:06:00,593 --> 00:06:02,228
I was like, "Uh-huh."
And then he went--

138
00:06:02,228 --> 00:06:03,730
(laughter)

139
00:06:03,730 --> 00:06:07,233
"But I left my watch behind."

140
00:06:07,233 --> 00:06:10,637
And all of a sudden, it was like
the mists cleared, I was like,

141
00:06:10,637 --> 00:06:13,940
"Wait, wait a minute, a watch."
"Yes, yes!" And I said,

142
00:06:13,940 --> 00:06:16,209
"That's right,
you left your watch,

143
00:06:16,209 --> 00:06:17,844
and I sent it back to you."

144
00:06:17,844 --> 00:06:22,515
And he went, "Yes! But you sent
my someone else's watch."

145
00:06:22,515 --> 00:06:24,718
(laughter)

146
00:06:24,718 --> 00:06:27,020
(applause)

147
00:06:27,020 --> 00:06:29,255
I was a young man with needs,
having a slutty summer,

148
00:06:29,255 --> 00:06:30,557
let's not be judgy!
(laughter)

149
00:06:30,557 --> 00:06:33,059
And I said to him,
"So, was the watch I sent

150
00:06:33,059 --> 00:06:34,861
nicer than the one
you left behind?"

151
00:06:34,861 --> 00:06:36,796
And he said, "Yes." I went,
"Shut the fuck up, then!"

152
00:06:36,796 --> 00:06:38,698
(laughter)

153
00:06:38,698 --> 00:06:42,235
Anyway um, it's so great
to be back in Montreal,

154
00:06:42,235 --> 00:06:43,470
I really love it here,

155
00:06:43,470 --> 00:06:46,873
and the thing I love most
about Montreal is that

156
00:06:46,873 --> 00:06:50,143
in the strip clubs, you can
actually have uh, hard-ons.

157
00:06:50,143 --> 00:06:53,546
And you know, and the performers
can too, of course. And...

158
00:06:53,546 --> 00:06:54,981
(laughter)

159
00:06:54,981 --> 00:06:56,883
I love that. And then later on
in the evening,

160
00:06:56,883 --> 00:06:59,586
more creamy loads, poutine!

161
00:06:59,586 --> 00:07:02,455
(laughter)
- I'm sorry!

162
00:07:02,455 --> 00:07:05,158
(cheering)(applause)

163
00:07:05,158 --> 00:07:07,994
Did I hear someone say "pute?"

164
00:07:07,994 --> 00:07:10,397
(laughter)

165
00:07:10,397 --> 00:07:12,732
Hello, hello, I don't think
we've met. Hello.

166
00:07:12,732 --> 00:07:14,501
No, we haven't.

167
00:07:14,501 --> 00:07:19,005
I am the most
famous woman in Québec!

168
00:07:19,005 --> 00:07:20,306
(crowd cheering)

169
00:07:20,306 --> 00:07:21,508
(giggling)

170
00:07:21,508 --> 00:07:24,010
Are you Celine Dion?
(laughter)

171
00:07:24,010 --> 00:07:26,146
I could be!

172
00:07:26,146 --> 00:07:28,515
Cause Celine, if you, I mean,
I'm really happy for you,

173
00:07:28,515 --> 00:07:30,316
'cause you know, you've put
on a bit of weight,

174
00:07:30,316 --> 00:07:31,985
and you look great
and everything, I'm really.

175
00:07:31,985 --> 00:07:34,621
Oh, tea!

176
00:07:34,621 --> 00:07:36,322
And you know what?
- What?

177
00:07:36,322 --> 00:07:37,824
You look a little
hungry, Alan.

178
00:07:37,824 --> 00:07:39,959
- Oh.
- I'm sure

179
00:07:39,959 --> 00:07:42,095
you could use a little
snack right now!

180
00:07:42,095 --> 00:07:43,496
(laughter)
- Thank you very much,

181
00:07:43,496 --> 00:07:45,632
- Yes...
- Thank you!

182
00:07:45,632 --> 00:07:48,334
Oh, with the warning on
the filter, that's good.

183
00:07:48,334 --> 00:07:49,569
- Yeah.
- Great! Wow.

184
00:07:49,569 --> 00:07:53,339
I really love this outfit,
it's very, trashy.

185
00:07:53,339 --> 00:07:54,874
(laughter)

186
00:07:54,874 --> 00:07:57,777
I'm sorry, I look trashy?
(chuckling)

187
00:07:57,777 --> 00:07:59,112
No, baby!

188
00:07:59,112 --> 00:08:02,549
This is tra-chic, alright?

189
00:08:02,549 --> 00:08:03,817
(cheering)

190
00:08:03,817 --> 00:08:07,387
Because, I am actually
not Céline!

191
00:08:07,387 --> 00:08:10,223
{\an8}I am Sami Landri!

192
00:08:10,223 --> 00:08:11,491
{\an8}(cheering)
Ah!

193
00:08:11,491 --> 00:08:14,227
(applause)

194
00:08:14,227 --> 00:08:16,896
And I wanna welcome you
to Montréal.

195
00:08:16,896 --> 00:08:19,399
<i>Merci beaucoup,</i> maybe,
actually, you could um,

196
00:08:19,399 --> 00:08:20,800
help me with my French,

197
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,469
I'd love to sort of learn
some more French phrases.

198
00:08:22,469 --> 00:08:25,004
I'd love to say in French
something like, you know,

199
00:08:25,004 --> 00:08:28,675
"I think you're beautiful,
and I want to make love to you."

200
00:08:28,675 --> 00:08:30,343
Alright! Okay, I got you,

201
00:08:30,343 --> 00:08:31,711
I got you, okay.
- Uh-huh.

202
00:08:31,711 --> 00:08:36,216
Holy cripe!
(speaking French)

203
00:08:36,216 --> 00:08:39,586
(laughter)

204
00:08:41,421 --> 00:08:42,989
(laughter)

205
00:08:42,989 --> 00:08:44,824
Try that one.
- Okay, I'll try it.

206
00:08:44,824 --> 00:08:48,395
Holy cripe!
(speaking French)

207
00:08:50,330 --> 00:08:52,832
(cheering)

208
00:08:52,832 --> 00:08:55,869
You know what?
It's not bad, it's not bad.

209
00:08:55,869 --> 00:08:59,906
Okay, now I really want you
to roll your Rs with it.

210
00:08:59,906 --> 00:09:01,775
- Oh, like a Scottish person!
- Exactly!

211
00:09:01,775 --> 00:09:04,878
(forcefully): Holy cripe!
(speaking French)

212
00:09:06,279 --> 00:09:08,581
(loud cheering)

213
00:09:08,581 --> 00:09:10,050
(applause)

214
00:09:10,050 --> 00:09:11,351
I felt that one!

215
00:09:11,351 --> 00:09:12,919
- Did you?
- I did, I did!

216
00:09:12,919 --> 00:09:16,056
Gir, I think you're all ready
to go, you're all set.

217
00:09:16,056 --> 00:09:16,956
Thank you.

218
00:09:16,956 --> 00:09:18,558
- Hold on.
- What?

219
00:09:18,558 --> 00:09:21,494
Let me give you something for
breakfast tomorrow, honestly?

220
00:09:21,494 --> 00:09:23,630
Just keep the whole pack!

221
00:09:23,630 --> 00:09:25,665
Thank you very much!

222
00:09:25,665 --> 00:09:28,201
Please give it up
for Sami Landri!

223
00:09:28,201 --> 00:09:30,336
(cheering)

224
00:09:30,336 --> 00:09:31,705
(applause)

225
00:09:31,705 --> 00:09:34,941
(laughter)

226
00:09:34,941 --> 00:09:37,744
Salut! À tout à l'heure!

227
00:09:37,744 --> 00:09:40,547
Uh, okay, we have an iconic
evening ahead of us,

228
00:09:40,547 --> 00:09:42,382
are you ready to get
the show started?

229
00:09:42,382 --> 00:09:44,751
(cheering)

230
00:09:44,751 --> 00:09:46,052
(applause)

231
00:09:46,052 --> 00:09:49,723
Well, we couldn't have a comedy
show without a lesbian legend,

232
00:09:49,723 --> 00:09:53,226
who is totally hilarious,
has her own TV show

233
00:09:53,226 --> 00:09:55,729
and is universally adored.

234
00:09:55,729 --> 00:09:57,897
But Jann Arden wasn't available.

235
00:09:57,897 --> 00:09:59,899
(laughter)

236
00:09:59,899 --> 00:10:04,738
Instead, we have the hilarious
Sabrina Jalees!

237
00:10:04,738 --> 00:10:06,606
(cheering)

238
00:10:06,606 --> 00:10:09,776
(hip hop music)

239
00:10:12,812 --> 00:10:14,347
Wow!

240
00:10:16,049 --> 00:10:20,387
{\an8}I... was... available!

241
00:10:21,755 --> 00:10:25,892
Yeah. I'm so happy to be here,
I just had a baby.

242
00:10:25,892 --> 00:10:28,128
(applause)

243
00:10:28,128 --> 00:10:30,497
True fact, I just had a baby,

244
00:10:30,497 --> 00:10:33,366
I look pretty good for
just having a baby! Right?

245
00:10:33,366 --> 00:10:35,135
(applause)

246
00:10:35,135 --> 00:10:38,772
Thank you. My wife carried
the baby, but I!

247
00:10:38,772 --> 00:10:40,874
(laughter)

248
00:10:40,874 --> 00:10:42,642
I do look pretty fucking good,

249
00:10:42,642 --> 00:10:45,912
and that's how I wanna
start things.

250
00:10:45,912 --> 00:10:48,948
My wife carried my embryo,

251
00:10:48,948 --> 00:10:52,719
which is a lesbian
grand slam, you know?

252
00:10:52,719 --> 00:10:53,987
(laughter)

253
00:10:53,987 --> 00:10:57,590
My wife carried my egg, when you
successfully get your egg

254
00:10:57,590 --> 00:10:58,892
inside your wife,

255
00:10:58,892 --> 00:11:02,629
Rosie O'Donnell crashes through
your front window on a jetski.

256
00:11:02,629 --> 00:11:05,065
(laughter)
She goes, "Yeaahh!"

257
00:11:06,766 --> 00:11:09,903
Opens up that seat,
Chappell Roan pops out,

258
00:11:09,903 --> 00:11:11,471
she goes,
"You did it, girlie!"

259
00:11:11,471 --> 00:11:13,940
(laughter)

260
00:11:13,940 --> 00:11:18,278
My wife carried my baby,
my wife got a C-section.

261
00:11:18,278 --> 00:11:22,482
Seven layers of skin,
just sliced open.

262
00:11:22,482 --> 00:11:25,552
Bro, that could've been me!
(laughter)

263
00:11:25,552 --> 00:11:27,153
You know?

264
00:11:31,858 --> 00:11:35,061
Seven layers of skin, do you
know how hard that recovery is?

265
00:11:35,061 --> 00:11:38,732
I had to help distract her from
the recovery, so I uh,

266
00:11:38,732 --> 00:11:41,334
I invited my parents to come
live with us for two months.

267
00:11:41,334 --> 00:11:44,337
(laughter)

268
00:11:44,337 --> 00:11:47,907
You know, so she could be like,
"C-section? What C-section?"

269
00:11:47,907 --> 00:11:51,444
"There's a Pakistani man
peeing with the door open."

270
00:11:51,444 --> 00:11:53,913
(laughter)

271
00:11:53,913 --> 00:11:57,217
"C-section? I don't remember
a C-section,

272
00:11:57,217 --> 00:11:59,686
there's a Swiss lady
asking if paid taxes."

273
00:11:59,686 --> 00:12:01,521
(laughter)

274
00:12:02,589 --> 00:12:04,324
I have, I have two sons.

275
00:12:04,324 --> 00:12:06,192
I've got a seven-year-old
and a one-year-old,

276
00:12:06,192 --> 00:12:08,228
cause you can do whatever you
want in your life,

277
00:12:08,228 --> 00:12:12,599
you could be a gold-star
lesbian but God will find a way

278
00:12:12,599 --> 00:12:14,668
to wedge dicks into your life!

279
00:12:14,668 --> 00:12:16,036
(laughter)

280
00:12:18,038 --> 00:12:21,207
First baby, our seven year old,
so easy to make,

281
00:12:21,207 --> 00:12:24,044
I toss jizz in my wife,
baby comes out, perfect.

282
00:12:24,044 --> 00:12:27,180
(laughter)
What a great recipe!

283
00:12:27,180 --> 00:12:29,616
Second baby, augh!
That was just

284
00:12:29,616 --> 00:12:31,518
up and down fertility mountain,

285
00:12:31,518 --> 00:12:33,853
throwing IVF embryos
into my wife,

286
00:12:33,853 --> 00:12:36,322
at one point I'm like, "Maybe
it's internalized homophobia,

287
00:12:36,322 --> 00:12:38,458
maybe I should get pregnant."

288
00:12:38,458 --> 00:12:44,064
I toss jizz in me, which,
my womb looks like...

289
00:12:44,064 --> 00:12:45,999
the dyke rainbow.

290
00:12:45,999 --> 00:12:48,168
Imagine what was going
on that day,

291
00:12:48,168 --> 00:12:51,271
gold-star lesbian,
jizz enters the womb,

292
00:12:51,271 --> 00:12:52,572
it must have been just
like a thousand

293
00:12:52,572 --> 00:12:54,507
Tim the Tool Man Taylors
being like,

294
00:12:54,507 --> 00:12:57,677
"Holy shit, we've got
the ingredients, boys!

295
00:12:57,677 --> 00:12:59,746
(laughter)

296
00:12:59,746 --> 00:13:02,649
I got pregnant, I tell everyone,
cause why not.

297
00:13:02,649 --> 00:13:04,884
My mom's friend immediately
is like,

298
00:13:04,884 --> 00:13:07,754
"Isn't it a little early
to be telling people?"

299
00:13:07,754 --> 00:13:09,556
I'm like, "No, bitch, cause
I just told you!"

300
00:13:09,556 --> 00:13:11,558
(laughter)

301
00:13:11,558 --> 00:13:13,526
Then I did miscarry.

302
00:13:13,526 --> 00:13:18,164
I miscarried, I tell my mom's
friend I miscarried, she goes,

303
00:13:18,164 --> 00:13:20,333
(loud hiss)

304
00:13:20,333 --> 00:13:22,969
"Now do you wish you didn't
say anything?"

305
00:13:22,969 --> 00:13:24,504
(laughter, groaning)

306
00:13:24,504 --> 00:13:26,906
I wanted to push her
down the stairs!

307
00:13:26,906 --> 00:13:28,441
(laughter)
Be like, "Bitch,

308
00:13:28,441 --> 00:13:30,744
now do YOU wish
you hadn't said anything?"

309
00:13:30,744 --> 00:13:32,512
(laughter)

310
00:13:32,512 --> 00:13:35,915
It's so fucked up that women are
supposed to be quiet about this;

311
00:13:35,915 --> 00:13:39,753
miscarriages suck, I'm gonna
talk about it. The name sucks!

312
00:13:39,753 --> 00:13:43,356
Miscarriage makes it sound like
the woman did a mistake,

313
00:13:43,356 --> 00:13:45,692
did a little boo-boo, you know?

314
00:13:45,692 --> 00:13:49,229
When miscarriages, 90% of them
are chromosomal abnormalities,

315
00:13:49,229 --> 00:13:50,797
but miscarriage makes it
sound like

316
00:13:50,797 --> 00:13:53,400
I Amelia Bedelia'd the baby.

317
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,769
(laughter)

318
00:13:55,769 --> 00:13:59,305
Like I was like,
"Carry the baby? Oh no!"

319
00:13:59,305 --> 00:14:01,141
(laughter)

320
00:14:01,141 --> 00:14:05,912
"Oh no, Amelia!
I left it in the Uber!"

321
00:14:05,912 --> 00:14:07,681
(laughter)

322
00:14:07,681 --> 00:14:09,949
Perfect Amelia Bedelia
impression!

323
00:14:09,949 --> 00:14:11,084
(laughter)

324
00:14:14,187 --> 00:14:17,791
Miscarried the baby, then I had
to get an abortion,

325
00:14:17,791 --> 00:14:20,293
which is sometimes that's
so controversial now.

326
00:14:20,293 --> 00:14:25,365
An abortion, so sad, I'm like
holding my wife's hand,

327
00:14:25,365 --> 00:14:28,101
and the baby's being pulled out
of my body, um,

328
00:14:28,101 --> 00:14:29,336
thank you, good night!

329
00:14:29,336 --> 00:14:31,805
(laughter)

330
00:14:31,805 --> 00:14:36,309
No, I'm laying there, the baby's
being pulled out, it's so sad,

331
00:14:36,309 --> 00:14:38,611
such an emotional moment.

332
00:14:38,611 --> 00:14:42,182
I'm in a diaper, and I'm
hobbling to the elevator,

333
00:14:42,182 --> 00:14:44,150
and we're, you know,
just trying to get through

334
00:14:44,150 --> 00:14:47,687
the moment, and the nurse that
was in the room runs towards me,

335
00:14:47,687 --> 00:14:49,456
she's like, "Miss Jalees!
Miss Jalees!"

336
00:14:49,456 --> 00:14:52,225
The only reason to have that
energy in that moment

337
00:14:52,225 --> 00:14:55,962
is if she was like,
"Miss Jalees, the baby!

338
00:14:55,962 --> 00:14:57,630
It's alive!"

339
00:14:57,630 --> 00:14:59,132
(laughter)

340
00:14:59,132 --> 00:15:01,267
"It's dancing on the counter,
Miss Jalees!"

341
00:15:01,267 --> 00:15:02,369
(laughter)

342
00:15:02,369 --> 00:15:05,138
"It wants to meet you.

343
00:15:05,138 --> 00:15:07,273
Miss Jalees, have you seen
Ally McBeal?"

344
00:15:07,273 --> 00:15:10,510
(laughter)

345
00:15:10,510 --> 00:15:12,612
Woo!

346
00:15:12,612 --> 00:15:15,181
But this bitch runs after me
to be like, "Miss Jalees!

347
00:15:15,181 --> 00:15:19,919
Your copay. You have to pay
your copay."

348
00:15:19,919 --> 00:15:21,955
And then it was cash only,

349
00:15:21,955 --> 00:15:24,624
like some farm to table
restaurant in San Francisco.

350
00:15:24,624 --> 00:15:25,992
(laughter)

351
00:15:25,992 --> 00:15:28,828
So, I'm not saying all abortion
clinics should be shut down,

352
00:15:28,828 --> 00:15:30,096
but that one can fucking go.

353
00:15:30,096 --> 00:15:32,365
(laughter)

354
00:15:32,365 --> 00:15:34,234
That one can get gone!

355
00:15:36,603 --> 00:15:40,507
My kids call me Baba, I grew up
thinking it was Urdu for Dad,

356
00:15:40,507 --> 00:15:43,410
'cause all of my cousins,
my Pakistani cousins,

357
00:15:43,410 --> 00:15:45,178
call their dads Baba.

358
00:15:45,178 --> 00:15:47,714
And I'm explaining this to my
white friend when my dad

359
00:15:47,714 --> 00:15:49,983
is visiting, this year, okay?

360
00:15:49,983 --> 00:15:53,787
And my dad cuts me off when
I say, "Baba is Urdu for Dad,"

361
00:15:53,787 --> 00:15:55,822
and he goes, "No, it's not."

362
00:15:55,822 --> 00:15:57,924
(laughter)

363
00:15:57,924 --> 00:15:59,759
I'm like, "What, Dad?" He goes,

364
00:15:59,759 --> 00:16:03,296
"Baba is Urdu for any old man."

365
00:16:03,296 --> 00:16:05,865
(laughter)

366
00:16:07,534 --> 00:16:09,669
I'm like, "You're telling me
this now, bitch?"

367
00:16:09,669 --> 00:16:11,004
(laughter)

368
00:16:11,004 --> 00:16:12,939
Fuck you, Baba!
(laughter)

369
00:16:12,939 --> 00:16:14,541
Anyway, I've been Any Old Man,

370
00:16:14,541 --> 00:16:16,342
have a great night,
you guys are terrific!

371
00:16:16,342 --> 00:16:19,913
(cheering)(applause)

372
00:16:20,847 --> 00:16:24,617
(hip hop music)

373
00:16:25,885 --> 00:16:28,088
Thank you, Sabrina Jalees!

374
00:16:28,088 --> 00:16:29,823
(cheering)

375
00:16:29,823 --> 00:16:32,826
Fun fact, everybody, fun fact.

376
00:16:32,826 --> 00:16:36,196
Our next comic went to high
school with Nelly Furtado!

377
00:16:36,196 --> 00:16:38,365
(audience): Wooo!

378
00:16:38,365 --> 00:16:42,469
And he's new to the wonderful
world of bisexuality!

379
00:16:42,469 --> 00:16:44,938
(audience): Wooo!
(applause)

380
00:16:44,938 --> 00:16:47,574
Now, as a seasoned pro,

381
00:16:47,574 --> 00:16:50,243
I can tell you, you can't teach
an old bi new tricks,

382
00:16:50,243 --> 00:16:54,881
but I am very happy to show
a new bi some old dick!

383
00:16:54,881 --> 00:16:56,816
(laughter)

384
00:16:56,816 --> 00:16:59,853
I'll be here all night, please
give it up for Dan Duvall!

385
00:16:59,853 --> 00:17:03,423
(cheering)(applause)

386
00:17:03,423 --> 00:17:06,393
(rock music)

387
00:17:12,232 --> 00:17:14,267
Hello, Montreal!

388
00:17:14,267 --> 00:17:16,302
(cheering)

389
00:17:16,302 --> 00:17:18,772
{\an8}It's good to be here,
I am a newly-out

390
00:17:18,772 --> 00:17:20,640
{\an8}bisexual man!

391
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,044
(applause)

392
00:17:24,044 --> 00:17:26,279
Thank you, it is exhausting!

393
00:17:26,279 --> 00:17:27,681
(laughter)

394
00:17:27,681 --> 00:17:29,516
It's like being a golden
retriever, you know,

395
00:17:29,516 --> 00:17:30,950
you gotta say hi to everybody.

396
00:17:30,950 --> 00:17:32,819
(laughter)

397
00:17:36,289 --> 00:17:39,092
But I-I-I-I travel all across
the country

398
00:17:39,092 --> 00:17:40,427
doing up stand-up comedy,

399
00:17:40,427 --> 00:17:44,130
and it's interesting talking
about this in different parts

400
00:17:44,130 --> 00:17:45,999
of the country.
You understand?

401
00:17:45,999 --> 00:17:48,435
Like it's, it's easy
here in Montreal,

402
00:17:48,435 --> 00:17:50,070
everybody parties till
five o'clock in the morning,

403
00:17:50,070 --> 00:17:50,970
everybody talks
with their hands,

404
00:17:50,970 --> 00:17:52,439
this place is gay as hell.

405
00:17:52,439 --> 00:17:54,107
(laughter)

406
00:17:54,107 --> 00:17:55,975
You know, but I gotta do this
in Alberta!

407
00:17:55,975 --> 00:17:59,045
(laughter)

408
00:17:59,045 --> 00:18:01,014
They have straight
Pride parades there.

409
00:18:01,014 --> 00:18:02,549
(laughter)

410
00:18:02,549 --> 00:18:05,418
They had a huge one,
went all the way to Ottawa!

411
00:18:05,418 --> 00:18:07,153
(laughter)

412
00:18:07,153 --> 00:18:10,657
(applause)

413
00:18:10,657 --> 00:18:12,292
Yeah.

414
00:18:12,292 --> 00:18:13,393
Honk!

415
00:18:13,393 --> 00:18:14,494
(laughter)

416
00:18:14,494 --> 00:18:15,729
Yeah man, the convoy.

417
00:18:15,729 --> 00:18:18,331
I was in, I was just
in Calgary for Pride,

418
00:18:18,331 --> 00:18:20,600
I don't know if you know this,
did you know that Calgary

419
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,070
has the biggest Pride event
in Canada, did you know that?

420
00:18:24,070 --> 00:18:26,906
Yeah, it's called
the Calgary Stampede.

421
00:18:26,906 --> 00:18:30,176
(laughter)

422
00:18:30,176 --> 00:18:32,879
Yeah, a bunch of city boys,

423
00:18:32,879 --> 00:18:35,148
dressed up like cowboys!

424
00:18:35,148 --> 00:18:38,785
Playing with horses,
brushing them.

425
00:18:38,785 --> 00:18:40,220
(laughter)

426
00:18:42,455 --> 00:18:44,691
Pretty gay!
(laughter)

427
00:18:44,691 --> 00:18:48,294
You tell me what's gayer than
five ripped, shirtless dudes

428
00:18:48,294 --> 00:18:50,730
in cowboy hats pretending they
don't wanna kiss each other!

429
00:18:50,730 --> 00:18:52,699
(laughter)

430
00:18:54,034 --> 00:18:55,935
Yeah, so this is all, this is
all pretty new for me,

431
00:18:55,935 --> 00:18:57,937
I'm figuring out where on
the spectrum I kind of sit,

432
00:18:57,937 --> 00:19:01,174
and at first, I thought I was
like 80/20 percent, you know,

433
00:19:01,174 --> 00:19:02,776
like just the tip, and then--

434
00:19:02,776 --> 00:19:04,044
(laughter)

435
00:19:04,044 --> 00:19:08,782
As time has gone on and my
Pornhub searches have expanded.

436
00:19:08,782 --> 00:19:10,083
(laughter)

437
00:19:10,083 --> 00:19:12,619
I've learned that it's more
like 50/50, you know?

438
00:19:12,619 --> 00:19:13,987
(laughter)

439
00:19:13,987 --> 00:19:17,023
It's, it's good, but I-I like,
I'm, I'm 44 years old,

440
00:19:17,023 --> 00:19:19,592
so I came out in my forties,
I'm 44, which is crazy,

441
00:19:19,592 --> 00:19:22,562
because I'm hot as hell,
you know?

442
00:19:22,562 --> 00:19:23,863
(applause)

443
00:19:23,863 --> 00:19:27,133
But I grew up in the 90s
and I grew up desperately

444
00:19:27,133 --> 00:19:29,903
trying to act like I was not
hooking up with my friends,

445
00:19:29,903 --> 00:19:33,406
you know, it was, it was a very
crazy time in my life,

446
00:19:33,406 --> 00:19:35,275
and so, you know,

447
00:19:35,275 --> 00:19:37,744
that's what it was like,
and now I'm trying,

448
00:19:37,744 --> 00:19:39,846
I'm living my life out loud
as a person, the person

449
00:19:39,846 --> 00:19:42,649
that I was always meant to be,
you know, it's great.

450
00:19:42,649 --> 00:19:44,984
(applause)
Thank you!

451
00:19:44,984 --> 00:19:46,720
It's amazing, right?

452
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,090
But it's different now, and now
I can, it's better, like,

453
00:19:50,090 --> 00:19:53,827
I'm doing stuff that I could not
do as a straight person, right?

454
00:19:53,827 --> 00:19:55,695
Like, I'm using sunscreen!

455
00:19:55,695 --> 00:19:58,264
(laughter)

456
00:19:59,933 --> 00:20:02,836
I'm washing my legs in the
shower, it's a whole thing!

457
00:20:02,836 --> 00:20:04,871
(laughter)

458
00:20:04,871 --> 00:20:07,307
It's crazy, I was in High Park
in Toronto,

459
00:20:07,307 --> 00:20:09,476
and a chipmunk
crawled into my hand!

460
00:20:09,476 --> 00:20:11,277
(laughter)

461
00:20:11,277 --> 00:20:13,446
Right? Back when I was straight,
I would've crushed it!

462
00:20:13,446 --> 00:20:15,215
(laughter)

463
00:20:15,215 --> 00:20:16,583
So I, I started telling people,

464
00:20:16,583 --> 00:20:18,785
I felt comfortable enough
where I started telling people,

465
00:20:18,785 --> 00:20:21,354
and um, and most people
had no idea,

466
00:20:21,354 --> 00:20:22,589
most people were totally shocked

467
00:20:22,589 --> 00:20:23,957
when I started talking
about this.

468
00:20:23,957 --> 00:20:26,893
But there were some people
who knew, there were some people

469
00:20:26,893 --> 00:20:28,228
who knew the whole time.

470
00:20:28,228 --> 00:20:29,929
Like, my best friend Craig,

471
00:20:29,929 --> 00:20:32,465
who I used to hook up with while
his dad was at work?

472
00:20:32,465 --> 00:20:34,634
(laughter)

473
00:20:34,634 --> 00:20:36,503
He knew, you know?

474
00:20:36,503 --> 00:20:39,105
He cracked the case,
cracked it wide open!

475
00:20:39,105 --> 00:20:40,140
You know what I'm saying?

476
00:20:40,140 --> 00:20:43,276
(laughter)

477
00:20:43,276 --> 00:20:46,379
But I told my sisters first.
I have two older sisters,

478
00:20:46,379 --> 00:20:49,349
so for my dad it went girl,
girl, and then a boy,

479
00:20:49,349 --> 00:20:50,450
and he was like, "Yes!"

480
00:20:50,450 --> 00:20:52,385
And then I was like,
"Not so fast!"

481
00:20:52,385 --> 00:20:53,820
(laughter)

482
00:20:53,820 --> 00:20:55,522
"Okay? I'm pretty too, Don!"

483
00:20:55,522 --> 00:20:58,024
And then, So, I told them first,

484
00:20:58,024 --> 00:21:00,960
and they were like,
"Yeah, we know.

485
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,662
We've been calling you
a homo your whole life!"

486
00:21:02,662 --> 00:21:04,164
(laughter)

487
00:21:04,164 --> 00:21:06,466
"Did you think we were joking?"
(laughter)

488
00:21:06,466 --> 00:21:08,968
So I told them and it went good,
so then I was like,

489
00:21:08,968 --> 00:21:10,270
I'm gonna tell my mom, right?

490
00:21:10,270 --> 00:21:12,038
I'm gonna tell my
76-year-old mom,

491
00:21:12,038 --> 00:21:14,774
so I called my mom up
on the phone, and I said,

492
00:21:14,774 --> 00:21:17,510
"Mom, I want you to know,
I also like dudes."

493
00:21:17,510 --> 00:21:21,281
Okay? And then my mom said,
and I quote,

494
00:21:21,281 --> 00:21:24,684
"Ewww, gross!"

495
00:21:24,684 --> 00:21:27,587
(laughter)

496
00:21:27,587 --> 00:21:29,356
And, and then right away,

497
00:21:29,356 --> 00:21:31,391
she's like, "I'm sorry I said
that," she's like, "I'm sorry!"

498
00:21:31,391 --> 00:21:33,893
She's like, "It's just, I'm in
the grocery store,

499
00:21:33,893 --> 00:21:35,662
I'm grocery shopping right now."

500
00:21:35,662 --> 00:21:38,264
She's like, "I'm in the meat
department, this is a lot!"

501
00:21:38,264 --> 00:21:40,600
(laughter)

502
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,170
Yeah, so, I told her and that
went well, and then I was like,

503
00:21:44,170 --> 00:21:46,306
I-I'm like, I'm gonna tell
my dad.

504
00:21:46,306 --> 00:21:48,274
Right? And that's
a different thing,

505
00:21:48,274 --> 00:21:51,311
'cause my dad is not
like me at all, okay?

506
00:21:51,311 --> 00:21:55,482
My dad is from a town in
Saskatchewan called Cut Knife.

507
00:21:55,482 --> 00:21:57,784
(laughter)

508
00:21:57,784 --> 00:22:01,121
That is a town named after how
you died and the murder weapon!

509
00:22:01,121 --> 00:22:02,889
(laughter)

510
00:22:02,889 --> 00:22:05,659
He's a dad, do you understand?
Like, he's a dad,

511
00:22:05,659 --> 00:22:08,395
like he just wakes up
and says the price of gas.

512
00:22:08,395 --> 00:22:11,297
(laughter)

513
00:22:14,534 --> 00:22:16,403
His pronouns are
Kirkland Signature,

514
00:22:16,403 --> 00:22:17,470
he's a dad!

515
00:22:17,470 --> 00:22:19,539
(laughter)

516
00:22:19,539 --> 00:22:22,642
So, I did, I told him. I told my
dad, I finally told him,

517
00:22:22,642 --> 00:22:24,277
I told my dad,
I did it. Yeah.

518
00:22:24,277 --> 00:22:26,446
(applause)

519
00:22:26,446 --> 00:22:28,481
Yeah.

520
00:22:28,481 --> 00:22:31,951
So, so my mom got a phone
call, my dad? Got a text.

521
00:22:31,951 --> 00:22:33,887
(laughter)
I shot him a text,

522
00:22:33,887 --> 00:22:35,321
I shot my dad a text, I said,

523
00:22:35,321 --> 00:22:38,391
"Dad, I just want you to know
I also like dudes."

524
00:22:38,391 --> 00:22:41,261
Okay? And then I said a bunch
of heartwarming ass stuff

525
00:22:41,261 --> 00:22:43,830
in the middle, and then at the
end, I tried to keep it light,

526
00:22:43,830 --> 00:22:45,565
I tried to make a joke,
and I was like,

527
00:22:45,565 --> 00:22:48,668
"I hope we can still play
golf together."

528
00:22:48,668 --> 00:22:50,637
And this is true, my dad wrote
back one sentence,

529
00:22:50,637 --> 00:22:52,605
just one text, that's it,
and he just said,

530
00:22:52,605 --> 00:22:56,176
"You're not playing
from the ladies tees."

531
00:22:56,176 --> 00:22:58,812
(laughter)

532
00:22:58,812 --> 00:23:01,481
That's a win! That is a win
for my boomer dad.

533
00:23:01,481 --> 00:23:05,352
(applause)

534
00:23:06,686 --> 00:23:09,489
Besides, I'm playing from both
tees, hasn't beaten me since.

535
00:23:09,489 --> 00:23:10,623
Thanks a lot, you guys!

536
00:23:10,623 --> 00:23:12,592
(cheering)

537
00:23:12,592 --> 00:23:14,694
(rock music)

538
00:23:14,694 --> 00:23:16,730
(applause)

539
00:23:16,730 --> 00:23:19,366
Thank you, Dan Duvall!

540
00:23:19,366 --> 00:23:22,035
(cheering)

541
00:23:22,035 --> 00:23:24,938
Our next performer coming
to the stage identifies

542
00:23:24,938 --> 00:23:27,273
as a skateboarding lesbian,

543
00:23:27,273 --> 00:23:29,509
which means
she can do a kickflip

544
00:23:29,509 --> 00:23:32,445
and has at least three exes
in the audience tonight.

545
00:23:32,445 --> 00:23:33,847
(laughter)

546
00:23:33,847 --> 00:23:35,815
Please welcome Irene Tu!

547
00:23:35,815 --> 00:23:37,751
(rock music)

548
00:23:37,751 --> 00:23:40,887
(cheering)(applause)

549
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,897
What's up, everybody? Um,
I'm having a pretty good year,

550
00:23:50,897 --> 00:23:53,166
I'm trying to be
a better person this year,

551
00:23:53,166 --> 00:23:57,070
{\an8}and a lot of my friends
are activists, you know,

552
00:23:57,070 --> 00:24:00,473
{\an8}they're queer, uh, and I would
like to do that, you know,

553
00:24:00,473 --> 00:24:02,042
{\an8}I want to be more
of an activist.

554
00:24:02,042 --> 00:24:06,946
I just don't know if I have
the personality of an activist,

555
00:24:06,946 --> 00:24:10,183
because activists are

556
00:24:10,183 --> 00:24:11,818
fucking annoying!

557
00:24:11,818 --> 00:24:14,054
(laughter)

558
00:24:14,054 --> 00:24:16,856
That's just a fact, okay?

559
00:24:16,856 --> 00:24:19,926
And I don't mean that
in a bad way,

560
00:24:19,926 --> 00:24:22,095
'cause that's the whole job.

561
00:24:22,095 --> 00:24:23,296
(laughter)

562
00:24:23,296 --> 00:24:27,267
It's to be
professionally annoying!

563
00:24:27,267 --> 00:24:30,136
Think about it, you're not gonna
change a law being nice.

564
00:24:30,136 --> 00:24:31,671
Woo!

565
00:24:31,671 --> 00:24:35,742
Yeah, you have to be so
fucking annoying

566
00:24:35,742 --> 00:24:38,244
that somebody's like...
(exasperated sigh)

567
00:24:39,979 --> 00:24:42,382
"Okay, we'll give you
gay marriage!

568
00:24:42,382 --> 00:24:45,218
Can you leave us alone?"
(laughter)

569
00:24:45,218 --> 00:24:47,087
"I'm trying to eat!"

570
00:24:47,087 --> 00:24:50,123
(applause)

571
00:24:50,123 --> 00:24:52,992
That's how social change works.

572
00:24:52,992 --> 00:24:57,197
That's why I'm so glad that
gay marriage is legal now.

573
00:24:57,197 --> 00:25:00,033
(applause)

574
00:25:01,668 --> 00:25:03,002
'Cause that means,

575
00:25:03,002 --> 00:25:04,704
I didn't have to fight for it!
(laughter)

576
00:25:04,704 --> 00:25:07,574
You know? And I just got to reap
the rewards.

577
00:25:07,574 --> 00:25:10,577
I was born in the right decade.

578
00:25:10,577 --> 00:25:12,145
Like, if I was born any earlier,

579
00:25:12,145 --> 00:25:15,148
and I had to be a part
of the gay rights movement,

580
00:25:15,148 --> 00:25:18,785
I probably would've just like...

581
00:25:18,785 --> 00:25:21,554
been straight, you know?
(laughter)

582
00:25:21,554 --> 00:25:24,557
I'd be like, "That's too much
work, honestly.

583
00:25:24,557 --> 00:25:26,926
I don't know if we're gonna
get it in my lifetime.

584
00:25:26,926 --> 00:25:29,562
I'll just get a beard instead,
that seems easier."

585
00:25:29,562 --> 00:25:32,265
(laughter)

586
00:25:32,265 --> 00:25:35,502
But you know, I'm trying to do
more, okay? Baby steps, right?

587
00:25:35,502 --> 00:25:39,906
Like, I can't step in front
of a tank immediately, so...

588
00:25:39,906 --> 00:25:41,941
(laughter)

589
00:25:44,277 --> 00:25:48,348
I was like, what's a way that
I can help out that involves

590
00:25:48,348 --> 00:25:50,884
little to no effort on my part?

591
00:25:50,884 --> 00:25:52,686
(laughter)

592
00:25:52,686 --> 00:25:53,887
And a couple of years ago,

593
00:25:53,887 --> 00:25:56,423
we had this big writer's strike
in LA, and I was like,

594
00:25:56,423 --> 00:26:00,326
"Okay, great.
I'm gonna support the strike."

595
00:26:00,326 --> 00:26:03,263
So I started posting about it
on Instagram.

596
00:26:03,263 --> 00:26:06,399
(laughter)

597
00:26:06,399 --> 00:26:09,569
That's it, that's all I did!
(laughter)

598
00:26:09,569 --> 00:26:12,439
I'm a hero!
(applause)

599
00:26:12,439 --> 00:26:15,442
I just don't like that every
protest involves

600
00:26:15,442 --> 00:26:18,111
physical activity.
(laughter)

601
00:26:18,111 --> 00:26:19,412
Have you noticed that?

602
00:26:19,412 --> 00:26:22,048
Like, why are we always
marching to places?

603
00:26:22,048 --> 00:26:25,552
Activists, we're a frail people.
(laughter)

604
00:26:25,552 --> 00:26:29,022
We should be catering
to our strengths.

605
00:26:29,022 --> 00:26:32,692
Like, did you know in the 60s,
they did all these sit-ins?

606
00:26:32,692 --> 00:26:34,594
(laughter)

607
00:26:34,594 --> 00:26:36,663
Let's bring those back!
(laughter)

608
00:26:36,663 --> 00:26:38,131
Yeah, you guys are all sitting
right now,

609
00:26:38,131 --> 00:26:40,934
this could of been a protest!
(laughter)

610
00:26:40,934 --> 00:26:43,336
Right? Like, we were fighting
Netflix, okay.

611
00:26:43,336 --> 00:26:45,338
Let's go into
Netflix and chill!

612
00:26:45,338 --> 00:26:47,273
(laughter)

613
00:26:47,273 --> 00:26:49,542
That would've been a perfect
protest, okay?

614
00:26:49,542 --> 00:26:51,745
But no, I have to
run a 3K for my rights!

615
00:26:51,745 --> 00:26:53,279
(laughter)

616
00:26:53,279 --> 00:26:56,416
I didn't train for this!

617
00:26:56,416 --> 00:26:59,419
And I never know
what to put on my sign.

618
00:26:59,419 --> 00:27:01,121
(laughter)

619
00:27:01,121 --> 00:27:05,992
Like, you have to show up to
a protest with a good ass sign,

620
00:27:05,992 --> 00:27:08,828
'cause that's the only way
that you get photographed.

621
00:27:08,828 --> 00:27:10,196
(laughter)

622
00:27:10,196 --> 00:27:13,533
And that's the most
important part.

623
00:27:13,533 --> 00:27:16,603
'Cause if you weren't
photographed at the protest,

624
00:27:16,603 --> 00:27:19,039
were you even there?
(laughter)

625
00:27:19,039 --> 00:27:20,407
Yeah, how are you gonna
show people later,

626
00:27:20,407 --> 00:27:22,475
you're a good person?

627
00:27:22,475 --> 00:27:26,446
'Cause, I want to be able
to flex on my kids one day.

628
00:27:26,446 --> 00:27:28,381
You know, we get into
a argument, right?

629
00:27:28,381 --> 00:27:30,784
Me and my asshole son.
(laughter)

630
00:27:30,784 --> 00:27:32,719
He's straight, he sucks.

631
00:27:32,719 --> 00:27:34,421
(laughter)

632
00:27:34,421 --> 00:27:39,626
He's yelling at me. He's like,
"Mom! You're a bad person!"

633
00:27:40,727 --> 00:27:44,497
And I'm like, "Oh! Okay!

634
00:27:44,497 --> 00:27:49,369
Fine, you think I'm a baaad
person, alright.

635
00:27:49,369 --> 00:27:52,238
See that US history book?"

636
00:27:52,238 --> 00:27:54,541
"Yeah, turn to page 354."

637
00:27:55,809 --> 00:27:58,578
And he's like, "Okay."

638
00:27:58,578 --> 00:27:59,979
I point to a photo,

639
00:27:59,979 --> 00:28:02,849
I'm like that's a picture of me!

640
00:28:02,849 --> 00:28:05,051
Protesting!"
(laughter)

641
00:28:05,051 --> 00:28:07,821
Yeah! That's the back
of my head.

642
00:28:07,821 --> 00:28:10,590
(laughter)

643
00:28:10,590 --> 00:28:14,761
And he's like, "Okay, cool.
Uh, what was the protest for?"

644
00:28:14,761 --> 00:28:17,063
And I'm like, "...

645
00:28:19,299 --> 00:28:21,267
I don't know!"
(laughter)

646
00:28:21,267 --> 00:28:23,737
"I just did it for the photo,
you're grounded!"

647
00:28:25,205 --> 00:28:28,208
And he's like,
"Does that say January 6th?"

648
00:28:28,208 --> 00:28:32,278
(laughter)

649
00:28:32,278 --> 00:28:34,481
"Don't look at that! Okay?

650
00:28:34,481 --> 00:28:36,082
I thought it was
a costume party."

651
00:28:36,082 --> 00:28:37,884
(laughter)

652
00:28:37,884 --> 00:28:39,653
But no, I did think back on it,

653
00:28:39,653 --> 00:28:42,956
and I realized that I didn't go
to any of the protests in 2020,

654
00:28:42,956 --> 00:28:44,457
there were a lot of them,

655
00:28:44,457 --> 00:28:46,593
you know, the Black Lives Matter
protests.

656
00:28:46,593 --> 00:28:49,162
And it's not because I didn't
support it, okay?

657
00:28:49,162 --> 00:28:52,032
I was actually living with
my grandparents at the time,

658
00:28:52,032 --> 00:28:54,834
and this was early on in
the pandemic,

659
00:28:54,834 --> 00:28:56,736
we didn't know
how Covid worked.

660
00:28:56,736 --> 00:28:59,372
Yeah, I didn't want to
accidentally get Covid

661
00:28:59,372 --> 00:29:02,475
at a protest, bring it home
and like,

662
00:29:02,475 --> 00:29:04,644
kill my grandparents.
(laughter)

663
00:29:04,644 --> 00:29:07,580
You know, I had to decide what
was more important to me.

664
00:29:07,580 --> 00:29:10,450
Not killing my grandma,

665
00:29:10,450 --> 00:29:13,353
or, fighting police brutality.

666
00:29:14,888 --> 00:29:17,490
And I went with
not killing my grandma.

667
00:29:17,590 --> 00:29:19,259
(laughter)

668
00:29:19,259 --> 00:29:21,594
And that still weighs on me.

669
00:29:21,594 --> 00:29:24,030
(laughter)

670
00:29:24,030 --> 00:29:26,266
Cause she's racist.
(laughter)

671
00:29:26,266 --> 00:29:27,834
So...

672
00:29:30,637 --> 00:29:32,706
(applause)

673
00:29:32,706 --> 00:29:35,375
I feel like I shoulda gone!

674
00:29:35,375 --> 00:29:37,077
(laughter)

675
00:29:37,077 --> 00:29:39,112
And killed two birds
with one stone.

676
00:29:39,112 --> 00:29:41,314
(laughter)
You know?

677
00:29:41,314 --> 00:29:43,483
Thank you guys so much,
I've been Irene Tu!

678
00:29:43,483 --> 00:29:44,951
(rock music)

679
00:29:44,951 --> 00:29:47,954
(cheering)(applause)

680
00:29:51,791 --> 00:29:54,127
Thank you, Irene Tu!

681
00:29:54,127 --> 00:29:56,663
I changed.
(laughter)

682
00:29:56,663 --> 00:29:59,799
Our next performer used to teach
elementary school,

683
00:29:59,799 --> 00:30:02,602
and once again, he's standing
in front of a room

684
00:30:02,602 --> 00:30:05,238
full of people thinking,
"What's that smell?"

685
00:30:05,238 --> 00:30:06,806
(laughter)

686
00:30:06,806 --> 00:30:09,609
He was named one of Variety's
10 Comics To Watch,

687
00:30:09,609 --> 00:30:10,910
so you're welcome Montreal,

688
00:30:10,910 --> 00:30:13,947
you can watch him right now.
Please welcome Joe Dombrowski!

689
00:30:13,947 --> 00:30:15,882
(cheering)

690
00:30:15,882 --> 00:30:19,219
(hip hop music)

691
00:30:19,219 --> 00:30:21,321
(applause)

692
00:30:21,321 --> 00:30:23,656
Montreal, how are we?

693
00:30:23,656 --> 00:30:25,291
(cheering)

694
00:30:25,291 --> 00:30:28,228
Thank you. It's, it's so good
to be back,

695
00:30:28,228 --> 00:30:30,797
I love travelling
to other countries for comedy,

696
00:30:30,797 --> 00:30:33,600
{\an8}I was, I was recently in another
foreign country,

697
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,069
{\an8}I was in, um...

698
00:30:36,069 --> 00:30:38,438
{\an8}Florida, and.
(laughter)

699
00:30:38,438 --> 00:30:40,807
I don't know, okay, here's
the thing. I went to the bar

700
00:30:40,807 --> 00:30:42,175
after every single one
of my shows,

701
00:30:42,175 --> 00:30:43,910
'cause I was a teacher
for 10 years,

702
00:30:43,910 --> 00:30:47,247
so now I'm an alcoholic, and...
(laughter)

703
00:30:47,247 --> 00:30:49,349
I'm sitting at the bar
minding my business,

704
00:30:49,349 --> 00:30:52,318
and this cockroach runs,
I'm, that's my biggest fear.

705
00:30:52,318 --> 00:30:53,620
I don't do cockroaches,

706
00:30:53,620 --> 00:30:56,589
I do do them,
without the roaches part, but!

707
00:30:56,589 --> 00:30:58,625
(laughter)

708
00:30:58,625 --> 00:31:02,195
Sitting there, cockroach runs
across the table, levitates,

709
00:31:02,195 --> 00:31:05,231
flies into my face!
(laughter)

710
00:31:05,231 --> 00:31:08,168
I rant to the bartender,
I was like, "Excuse me,

711
00:31:08,168 --> 00:31:11,671
I've just been accosted
by the Florida state bird!

712
00:31:11,671 --> 00:31:13,606
(laughter)

713
00:31:13,606 --> 00:31:16,142
And he just looked at me,
and he said, "Ma'am?

714
00:31:16,142 --> 00:31:18,244
That is..."

715
00:31:18,244 --> 00:31:20,113
(laughter)

716
00:31:23,850 --> 00:31:25,819
"In those loafers?

717
00:31:27,787 --> 00:31:29,990
Ma'am, that's a Palmetto bug."

718
00:31:29,990 --> 00:31:32,058
And, do you know this term that
they use down there,

719
00:31:32,058 --> 00:31:34,494
Palmetto bug? It's what
they call cockroaches,

720
00:31:34,494 --> 00:31:38,131
and I hate it, cause you can't
just take something disgusting,

721
00:31:38,131 --> 00:31:40,900
slap a cute name on it, and now
it's socially acceptable.

722
00:31:40,900 --> 00:31:44,170
Right? Like, you can't just
put glitter on a 19-inch dildo,

723
00:31:44,170 --> 00:31:45,739
call it "comfortable!"

724
00:31:45,739 --> 00:31:48,475
It's...
(laughter)

725
00:31:48,475 --> 00:31:51,211
It'll still bring harm
to you, so...

726
00:31:51,211 --> 00:31:53,346
(laughter)

727
00:31:53,346 --> 00:31:56,016
So I'm sitting there,
drinking my Dirty Martini,

728
00:31:56,016 --> 00:31:58,985
because, duh? And...
(laughter)

729
00:31:58,985 --> 00:32:01,287
These two Florida people,
just let me tell ya,

730
00:32:01,287 --> 00:32:04,991
beacons of Floridian excellence!
(laughter)

731
00:32:04,991 --> 00:32:06,893
They just start walking
towards me,

732
00:32:06,893 --> 00:32:09,596
all four teeth
collectively, and...

733
00:32:09,596 --> 00:32:12,165
(laughter)
I-I didn't catch their names,

734
00:32:12,165 --> 00:32:14,801
but for the sake of the story,
we'll call them Methany Frankel

735
00:32:14,801 --> 00:32:16,670
and Fentyana Rodriguez, and...

736
00:32:16,670 --> 00:32:19,639
(laughter)

737
00:32:19,639 --> 00:32:22,575
And one of 'em starts talking
to me, and she goes,

738
00:32:22,575 --> 00:32:25,478
(in raspy voice)
"Joe? I just wanna let you know

739
00:32:25,478 --> 00:32:28,348
that we didn't think you were
funny, because--"

740
00:32:28,348 --> 00:32:29,516
(deep inhale)

741
00:32:29,516 --> 00:32:30,750
(laughter)

742
00:32:30,750 --> 00:32:32,218
(exhale)

743
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,157
"Teachers in this country
are actually teaching

744
00:32:37,157 --> 00:32:38,858
kids to be gay!"

745
00:32:38,858 --> 00:32:40,460
(loud gasp)

746
00:32:40,460 --> 00:32:41,728
(in normal voice): "Methany!"

747
00:32:41,728 --> 00:32:45,031
(laughter)

748
00:32:47,300 --> 00:32:49,302
"That's crazy,
I taught for 10 years,

749
00:32:49,302 --> 00:32:50,904
I couldn't even teach
'em to write their name

750
00:32:50,904 --> 00:32:53,873
at the top of the page!"
(laughter)

751
00:32:53,873 --> 00:32:56,209
And that's just not true, okay?

752
00:32:56,209 --> 00:32:58,545
Because if teachers were still
teaching the kids

753
00:32:58,545 --> 00:32:59,913
anything to be gay,

754
00:32:59,913 --> 00:33:02,315
teachers would be
still teaching cursive. Hm?"

755
00:33:02,315 --> 00:33:03,850
(laughter)

756
00:33:03,850 --> 00:33:06,619
'Cause cursive's just
gay language, girl,

757
00:33:06,619 --> 00:33:08,054
let's be real.

758
00:33:08,054 --> 00:33:10,724
It's just homosexual
hieroglyphs, if you ask me!

759
00:33:10,724 --> 00:33:13,660
'Cause if you write the letter A
in print, you say, "Ey!"

760
00:33:13,660 --> 00:33:16,930
If you write the letter A in
cursive, you say, "Eyyyyy!"

761
00:33:16,930 --> 00:33:18,431
(laughter)

762
00:33:18,431 --> 00:33:20,133
(applause)

763
00:33:20,133 --> 00:33:22,936
(cheering)

764
00:33:25,572 --> 00:33:28,975
A lot has changed since last
time I've been in Montreal,

765
00:33:28,975 --> 00:33:30,810
last time I was here,
I was getting married.

766
00:33:30,810 --> 00:33:33,346
This time, I'm having a baby.

767
00:33:33,346 --> 00:33:35,015
(cheering)
Thank you!

768
00:33:35,015 --> 00:33:36,649
Thank you, I'm very excited.

769
00:33:36,649 --> 00:33:37,984
Let me tell you this, though,

770
00:33:37,984 --> 00:33:42,422
super hard to name a baby when
you used to be a teacher, okay?

771
00:33:42,422 --> 00:33:44,157
Like, I'm throwing out all
these names,

772
00:33:44,157 --> 00:33:46,860
my husband's shutting 'em all
down. He's like, "Megan."

773
00:33:46,860 --> 00:33:50,630
"Talker." "Jenna." "Talker."
"Gillian." "Pooped herself."

774
00:33:50,630 --> 00:33:53,033
(laughter)

775
00:33:53,033 --> 00:33:55,135
So then he was like,
"Why don't you just make a list

776
00:33:55,135 --> 00:33:57,904
of celebrity names, and maybe
that will jog something

777
00:33:57,904 --> 00:34:00,774
within us, and I said,
"Chaka Khan!"

778
00:34:00,774 --> 00:34:03,209
(laughter)

779
00:34:03,209 --> 00:34:06,179
He hates it! I love it, 'cause
can you picture two gay dads

780
00:34:06,179 --> 00:34:09,249
with a Chaka Khan, and it's not
a French bulldog?

781
00:34:09,249 --> 00:34:11,017
(laughter)

782
00:34:11,017 --> 00:34:12,452
And, I just want a Chaka Khan

783
00:34:12,452 --> 00:34:13,920
so that I can pick her up
from school

784
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,656
and stand at parent pick-up,
and be like, "Chaka Khan!"

785
00:34:16,656 --> 00:34:19,025
(laughter)

786
00:34:19,025 --> 00:34:24,030
But, his top three names
are Mable, Eloise and Lois,

787
00:34:24,030 --> 00:34:26,966
I was like, "Oh, didn't realize
we were making a small army

788
00:34:26,966 --> 00:34:28,401
of suffragettes!"

789
00:34:28,401 --> 00:34:30,236
(laughter)

790
00:34:32,272 --> 00:34:34,340
Lois, I feel like I'm gonna be
at the hospital

791
00:34:34,340 --> 00:34:36,443
and then you have to say
to people, "Oh, this?"

792
00:34:36,443 --> 00:34:39,245
(chuckling)

793
00:34:39,245 --> 00:34:41,247
"It's Lois."
(laughter)

794
00:34:41,247 --> 00:34:44,184
"Yeah, she's got a drinking
problem, and."

795
00:34:44,184 --> 00:34:45,885
(laughter)

796
00:34:45,885 --> 00:34:48,888
"We'd go home, but the car seat
doesn't fit

797
00:34:48,888 --> 00:34:51,024
in our covered wagon, so!"

798
00:34:51,024 --> 00:34:52,959
(laughter)

799
00:34:54,961 --> 00:34:57,097
We're doing IVF and surrogacy,

800
00:34:57,097 --> 00:34:59,132
just as the Lord intended it,
and um.

801
00:34:59,132 --> 00:35:00,467
(laughter)

802
00:35:00,467 --> 00:35:02,168
My husband and I are
complete opposites,

803
00:35:02,168 --> 00:35:06,039
and he doesn't like when
I panic in medical situations.

804
00:35:06,039 --> 00:35:08,208
Like, I had to get
a colonoscopy last year,

805
00:35:08,208 --> 00:35:10,110
and at the doctor's
appointment,

806
00:35:10,110 --> 00:35:12,245
the doctor looked at me,
and he said,

807
00:35:12,245 --> 00:35:13,847
"Joe, this might hurt a little."

808
00:35:13,847 --> 00:35:16,016
And I panicked and I said,
"I think we're fine!"

809
00:35:16,016 --> 00:35:17,717
(laughter)

810
00:35:17,717 --> 00:35:20,153
And then he put his finger
in me, and I did panic, I said,

811
00:35:20,153 --> 00:35:22,288
"Look, it's like I'm your little
finger puppet, Rick!

812
00:35:22,288 --> 00:35:24,124
Wer, wer, wer,
wer, wer, wer, wer!"

813
00:35:24,124 --> 00:35:25,759
(laughter)
I hate myself, I do,

814
00:35:25,759 --> 00:35:28,194
I hate myself, just take
my voice, Ursula,

815
00:35:28,194 --> 00:35:29,529
I don't deserve it! Anyway.

816
00:35:29,529 --> 00:35:31,698
(laughter)

817
00:35:31,698 --> 00:35:34,300
But Morgan can do anything,
and I, when I was like,

818
00:35:34,300 --> 00:35:37,370
"Morgan, you can do it all,
and I can't do anything!"

819
00:35:37,370 --> 00:35:39,973
And he's so sweet, he stops me
and he goes,

820
00:35:39,973 --> 00:35:43,076
"It's okay, we're a team, babe."

821
00:35:43,076 --> 00:35:44,778
And I think that that is,

822
00:35:44,778 --> 00:35:46,780
nauseating!

823
00:35:46,780 --> 00:35:47,947
(laughter)

824
00:35:47,947 --> 00:35:50,483
So he planned our whole
baby journey, and we met

825
00:35:50,483 --> 00:35:52,152
with a fertility specialist,

826
00:35:52,152 --> 00:35:54,054
and we were picking
the egg donor,

827
00:35:54,054 --> 00:35:56,556
and the specialist looked
at me and said,

828
00:35:56,556 --> 00:35:59,526
"What kind of women are you
into?" And then I, um,

829
00:35:59,526 --> 00:36:01,194
threw up in my mouth
a little. And...

830
00:36:01,194 --> 00:36:03,329
(laughter)

831
00:36:03,329 --> 00:36:06,366
She said, "Oh no, if you were of
heterosexual descent,"

832
00:36:06,366 --> 00:36:09,202
(laughter)

833
00:36:13,306 --> 00:36:14,674
"In these boots!"

834
00:36:14,674 --> 00:36:16,976
(laughter)

835
00:36:16,976 --> 00:36:20,747
"What qualities in a woman would
you be seeking?" And I said,

836
00:36:20,747 --> 00:36:22,982
"Thank you for asking, she'd
have to be smart and funny,

837
00:36:22,982 --> 00:36:25,518
built like a linebacker, um."

838
00:36:25,518 --> 00:36:26,753
(laughter)

839
00:36:26,753 --> 00:36:29,155
"I'd like her main adjective
to be sturdy,

840
00:36:29,155 --> 00:36:33,193
and I'd like her to look like
the antagonist in 'Matilda.'"

841
00:36:33,193 --> 00:36:36,062
(laughter)

842
00:36:38,365 --> 00:36:40,433
And then they whisked us into
another meeting,

843
00:36:40,433 --> 00:36:42,569
so they could collect our,
um, samples -

844
00:36:42,569 --> 00:36:44,170
I'm sorry about your
face! And we're--

845
00:36:44,170 --> 00:36:46,406
(laughter)

846
00:36:46,406 --> 00:36:49,542
...we're in this room, it's
crowded, there's nowhere to sit,

847
00:36:49,542 --> 00:36:51,344
so Morgan and I are all the way
in the back

848
00:36:51,344 --> 00:36:53,179
when a nurse chimes in,
and she goes,

849
00:36:53,179 --> 00:36:55,582
"Joe, Morgan, I only have
one room available."

850
00:36:55,582 --> 00:36:57,717
"I can only take one of you
right now."

851
00:36:57,717 --> 00:36:59,886
And I stood up
in front of all those men,

852
00:36:59,886 --> 00:37:04,057
and I said, "It's okay,
we can go together!"

853
00:37:04,057 --> 00:37:05,759
(laughter)

854
00:37:05,759 --> 00:37:08,294
Morgan's like, "Shut up!"
(laughter)

855
00:37:08,294 --> 00:37:09,929
I said, "What?

856
00:37:09,929 --> 00:37:11,498
We're a team, babe!"

857
00:37:11,498 --> 00:37:12,966
(laughter)

858
00:37:12,966 --> 00:37:16,603
I'm Joe Dombrowski, thank you so
much! Thank you! Thank you!

859
00:37:16,603 --> 00:37:19,939
(applause)
(hip hop music)

860
00:37:19,939 --> 00:37:22,042
(cheering)

861
00:37:22,042 --> 00:37:24,110
Thank you, Joe Dombrowski!

862
00:37:26,212 --> 00:37:28,648
Are you having
a good night, Montreal?

863
00:37:28,648 --> 00:37:30,250
(cheering)

864
00:37:30,250 --> 00:37:32,485
Passez-vous une bonne nuit?

865
00:37:32,485 --> 00:37:33,586
(light laughter)

866
00:37:33,586 --> 00:37:35,355
It's French! Um...
(laughter)

867
00:37:35,355 --> 00:37:36,990
I was just talking backstage

868
00:37:36,990 --> 00:37:40,160
about the fact that this is sort
of the epicentre of queerness

869
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,629
in the world, tonight,
right here, this is...

870
00:37:42,629 --> 00:37:43,963
(cheering)

871
00:37:43,963 --> 00:37:46,399
This is gay Ground Zero, people!

872
00:37:46,399 --> 00:37:50,837
Uh, I've done quite a lot
of big queer things in my time,

873
00:37:50,837 --> 00:37:52,906
but no names!
I'll never kiss and tell.

874
00:37:52,906 --> 00:37:57,510
No, what I mean is I've done
a lot of big queer things on TV,

875
00:37:57,510 --> 00:38:00,513
I've been, for example,
fucked up the ass by a lesbian

876
00:38:00,513 --> 00:38:02,182
with a strap-on
on The "L" Word.

877
00:38:02,182 --> 00:38:04,050
(audience): Wooo!

878
00:38:04,050 --> 00:38:06,553
Oh yes, I was way ahead of the
pegging curve.

879
00:38:06,553 --> 00:38:09,589
Eat me, Prince William! And...

880
00:38:09,589 --> 00:38:12,158
(laughter)

881
00:38:12,158 --> 00:38:14,394
What, too soon? Sorry!
(laughter)

882
00:38:14,394 --> 00:38:17,330
I was also in one of the gayest
films ever made,

883
00:38:17,330 --> 00:38:20,633
uh no, not SpiceWorld,
though I was in that, too.

884
00:38:20,633 --> 00:38:22,802
No, I'm talking about when
I played Nightcrawler

885
00:38:22,802 --> 00:38:24,804
in one of the X-Men films.
(cheering)

886
00:38:24,804 --> 00:38:26,172
(applause)

887
00:38:26,172 --> 00:38:29,976
Yes, the gayest film ever made!

888
00:38:29,976 --> 00:38:33,413
I mean, people having
to hide their true identity

889
00:38:33,413 --> 00:38:35,815
and wearing a lot of leather,
I mean, come on!

890
00:38:35,815 --> 00:38:37,250
(laughter)

891
00:38:37,250 --> 00:38:40,253
I've also been in a lot of,
sort of, gay classics,

892
00:38:40,253 --> 00:38:43,156
like Josie and the Pussycats.
(cheering)

893
00:38:43,156 --> 00:38:45,258
Shot here in Canada.

894
00:38:45,258 --> 00:38:49,029
Uh, and I've won many accolades,
and um, many awards in my time,

895
00:38:49,029 --> 00:38:52,332
but I am still smarting
from losing

896
00:38:52,332 --> 00:38:55,902
the 1997 MTV Movie Award

897
00:38:55,902 --> 00:38:57,837
for Best Dance Sequence,

898
00:38:57,837 --> 00:39:00,640
for my work with Lisa Kudrow
and Mira Sorvino

899
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,242
in Romy and Michelle's
High School Reunion!

900
00:39:02,242 --> 00:39:03,843
(cheering)

901
00:39:03,843 --> 00:39:05,879
(applause)

902
00:39:05,879 --> 00:39:09,249
I've also been in some very
queer-coded films.

903
00:39:09,249 --> 00:39:12,419
I was um, Mr. Floop
in the Spy Kids trilogy.

904
00:39:12,419 --> 00:39:14,254
(cheering)(applause)

905
00:39:14,254 --> 00:39:15,822
Yes, he's a queer one.

906
00:39:15,822 --> 00:39:17,590
But, just a word of warning,

907
00:39:17,590 --> 00:39:21,194
if you are thinking of ever
coming up to me to express

908
00:39:21,194 --> 00:39:24,898
how much Mr. Floop and Spy Kids
meant to you as a child,

909
00:39:24,898 --> 00:39:27,801
please do not do it in the
manner of a young man

910
00:39:27,801 --> 00:39:29,602
who came up to me
in Albuquerque,

911
00:39:29,602 --> 00:39:31,171
a couple of years ago.

912
00:39:31,171 --> 00:39:33,707
Because he came up,
almost crying, and said,

913
00:39:33,707 --> 00:39:38,111
"Alan, you touched me a lot when
I was a little boy!"

914
00:39:38,111 --> 00:39:39,946
(laughter)

915
00:39:39,946 --> 00:39:42,349
No! No!

916
00:39:42,349 --> 00:39:44,317
No, we will not,
Albuquerque!

917
00:39:44,317 --> 00:39:46,353
(laughter)

918
00:39:46,353 --> 00:39:48,188
And of course, more recently,
you may know me

919
00:39:48,188 --> 00:39:50,690
as the host of The Traitors,
which is...

920
00:39:50,690 --> 00:39:54,294
(cheering)(applause)

921
00:39:54,294 --> 00:39:58,264
Which is the campest thing
I have ever been in,

922
00:39:58,264 --> 00:40:00,900
and that's me saying that!
(laughter)

923
00:40:00,900 --> 00:40:04,037
The Traitors is such fun
to shoot, it really is,

924
00:40:04,037 --> 00:40:08,074
in such a sort of incredible,
sociological experiment.

925
00:40:08,074 --> 00:40:11,778
I'm constantly amazed
by the stupid decisions.

926
00:40:11,778 --> 00:40:13,079
(laughter)

927
00:40:13,079 --> 00:40:14,681
That the players make on it,

928
00:40:14,681 --> 00:40:17,717
how they get all swept up with
this sort of pack mentality,

929
00:40:17,717 --> 00:40:20,720
you know? I actually say
that the Traitors is like

930
00:40:20,720 --> 00:40:23,289
Lord of the Flies with Botox.

931
00:40:23,289 --> 00:40:26,526
(Traitors theme music)

932
00:40:31,931 --> 00:40:35,535
(crowd cheering)

933
00:40:40,373 --> 00:40:42,075
Ooh, they're harder to open
than you think!

934
00:40:42,075 --> 00:40:43,977
(laughter)

935
00:40:43,977 --> 00:40:46,446
"Dear Allan,"
(loud gasp)

936
00:40:46,446 --> 00:40:49,149
"By order of the Traitors,
you have been murdered."

937
00:40:49,149 --> 00:40:50,950
(groans)

938
00:40:50,950 --> 00:40:54,054
I've been murdered?

939
00:40:54,054 --> 00:40:56,690
Who are you, bitch?
(loud gasp)

940
00:40:56,690 --> 00:40:57,857
Oh my goodness!

941
00:40:57,857 --> 00:40:58,992
Ha!
(cheering)

942
00:40:58,992 --> 00:41:01,594
It's Karine Vanasse, host of
The Traitors Canada!

943
00:41:01,594 --> 00:41:05,598
(applause)(cheering)

944
00:41:10,203 --> 00:41:11,204
Karine!

945
00:41:11,204 --> 00:41:12,706
Mm-hmm!

946
00:41:12,706 --> 00:41:13,773
What are you doing here?

947
00:41:13,773 --> 00:41:15,542
And why were you wearing
my bathrobe?

948
00:41:15,542 --> 00:41:18,111
(laughter)
- Non! Oh, Allan,

949
00:41:18,111 --> 00:41:20,613
I was told the host of
The Traitors Canada

950
00:41:20,613 --> 00:41:22,282
was hosting
this gala tonight.

951
00:41:22,282 --> 00:41:24,351
- Oh!
- Mm-hmm!

952
00:41:24,351 --> 00:41:26,286
Oh no, it's the host
of The Traitors

953
00:41:26,286 --> 00:41:28,288
was hosting this gala
IN Canada.

954
00:41:28,288 --> 00:41:29,756
Oh, I'm sorry!

955
00:41:29,756 --> 00:41:31,825
Oh, don't--
(laughter)

956
00:41:31,825 --> 00:41:33,126
Don't be sorry,
it's totally fine!

957
00:41:33,126 --> 00:41:34,594
I mean, now that you're here.
- Mm-hmm!

958
00:41:34,594 --> 00:41:37,497
Shall we, uh, why don't we do
some Traitors voice exercises?

959
00:41:37,497 --> 00:41:38,665
Oh yes, why not?

960
00:41:38,665 --> 00:41:40,000
- Ready? Okay, here we go.
- Yes!

961
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,569
Murrrderrrr!

962
00:41:42,569 --> 00:41:45,405
Murrrrrdeeuuuurrr!

963
00:41:45,405 --> 00:41:46,906
Pretty good, yes, pretty good!

964
00:41:46,906 --> 00:41:47,941
(clears throat)
Here's another one.

965
00:41:47,941 --> 00:41:48,842
Yes.

966
00:41:48,842 --> 00:41:51,044
A quarter of a million
dollars!

967
00:41:51,044 --> 00:41:52,946
Haha!

968
00:41:52,946 --> 00:41:56,182
One hundred--
(laughter)

969
00:41:56,182 --> 00:42:00,153
Canadian dollars!
(cheering)

970
00:42:00,153 --> 00:42:02,389
(applause)

971
00:42:02,389 --> 00:42:04,290
Very good!

972
00:42:04,290 --> 00:42:07,427
Shall we do the next
introduction together?

973
00:42:07,427 --> 00:42:08,728
- Yes, just a second.
- Oh yes.

974
00:42:08,728 --> 00:42:10,196
- Oh yeah!
- Got my bathrobe.

975
00:42:10,196 --> 00:42:12,198
Yes.
(laughter)

976
00:42:12,198 --> 00:42:14,200
Uh, okay. Please welcome
to the stage.

977
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:18,538
The one, the only,
the ever Faithful.

978
00:42:18,538 --> 00:42:21,174
(both): Tranna Wintour!

979
00:42:21,174 --> 00:42:22,909
(cheering)

980
00:42:22,909 --> 00:42:25,345
(rock music)

981
00:42:25,345 --> 00:42:28,448
(applause)(cheering)

982
00:42:31,785 --> 00:42:32,819
{\an8}Um, little known fact,

983
00:42:32,819 --> 00:42:35,388
{\an8}Karine and Alan
are my mom and dad!

984
00:42:35,388 --> 00:42:37,457
Woo!
(laughter)

985
00:42:37,457 --> 00:42:39,592
But before I get started,
I do just have

986
00:42:39,592 --> 00:42:42,095
a little personal announcement
that I need to make,

987
00:42:42,095 --> 00:42:44,064
you probably won't care,

988
00:42:44,064 --> 00:42:46,499
but I just want us all
to be on the same page.

989
00:42:47,434 --> 00:42:52,305
I actually no longer
identify as trans.

990
00:42:52,305 --> 00:42:56,342
I identify as a
two-time reality TV loser.

991
00:42:56,342 --> 00:42:59,279
(applause)

992
00:43:01,214 --> 00:43:03,316
My pronouns are runner, up.

993
00:43:03,316 --> 00:43:06,720
(laughter)

994
00:43:06,720 --> 00:43:10,256
I made it to the top four of
Quebec's Celebrity Big Brother.

995
00:43:10,256 --> 00:43:12,792
(cheering)

996
00:43:12,792 --> 00:43:16,429
And all the way to the final
two of The Traitors Canada!

997
00:43:16,429 --> 00:43:18,732
(cheering)(applause)

998
00:43:18,732 --> 00:43:21,468
For anyone who doesn't know,
the concept of the Traitors

999
00:43:21,468 --> 00:43:24,304
is quite simple. It's kind of
like a murder mystery,

1000
00:43:24,304 --> 00:43:28,408
and where 20 contestants
in a mysterious manor.

1001
00:43:28,408 --> 00:43:30,143
And among the contestants,

1002
00:43:30,143 --> 00:43:33,146
a select few are chosen
to be Traitors,

1003
00:43:33,146 --> 00:43:35,615
and the rest of us
are Faithfuls.

1004
00:43:35,615 --> 00:43:38,251
And it is the mission
of the Faithfuls to uncover

1005
00:43:38,251 --> 00:43:41,688
the identities of the Traitors
before the end of the game,

1006
00:43:41,688 --> 00:43:43,890
because if there's even
one Traitor left standing

1007
00:43:43,890 --> 00:43:46,626
at the end, they win it all.

1008
00:43:46,626 --> 00:43:49,529
Now, as Faithfuls,
we're at a major disadvantage,

1009
00:43:49,529 --> 00:43:52,799
we don't really have
a lot to go on besides vibes!

1010
00:43:52,799 --> 00:43:54,968
(laughter)

1011
00:43:54,968 --> 00:43:57,070
Which is my specialty,
I'm a Pisces,

1012
00:43:57,070 --> 00:43:59,072
I can read people really well!
(laughter)

1013
00:44:00,673 --> 00:44:03,810
Well...
(laughter)

1014
00:44:03,810 --> 00:44:05,045
According to Reddit,

1015
00:44:05,045 --> 00:44:08,081
(laughter)

1016
00:44:08,081 --> 00:44:13,486
I'm one of the worst players
of all time, internationally!

1017
00:44:13,486 --> 00:44:15,855
(applause)

1018
00:44:15,855 --> 00:44:18,725
At the end of every day, we have
a Round Table where we share

1019
00:44:18,725 --> 00:44:21,461
who we think the Traitors are,
and then we vote them out.

1020
00:44:21,461 --> 00:44:24,030
There was one night
where I very confidently

1021
00:44:24,030 --> 00:44:26,566
named four people as Traitors.

1022
00:44:27,534 --> 00:44:29,302
There were only three.

1023
00:44:29,302 --> 00:44:31,504
(laughter)

1024
00:44:31,504 --> 00:44:37,544
Someone also on Reddit made a
calculation that statistically,

1025
00:44:37,544 --> 00:44:41,548
the chance of me naming
four people

1026
00:44:41,548 --> 00:44:44,217
and not landing
on a Traitor...

1027
00:44:44,217 --> 00:44:46,319
(laughter)

1028
00:44:46,319 --> 00:44:49,989
...was a 2.3% chance!

1029
00:44:49,989 --> 00:44:53,393
(applause)

1030
00:44:53,393 --> 00:44:56,062
That does make me
one of the greats!

1031
00:44:56,062 --> 00:44:57,564
Not everybody has that.

1032
00:44:57,564 --> 00:44:59,399
(laughter)

1033
00:44:59,399 --> 00:45:02,569
I don't want to bring the mood
down, because I am having such

1034
00:45:02,569 --> 00:45:05,171
a blast, you are amazing!

1035
00:45:05,171 --> 00:45:07,374
(cheering)

1036
00:45:07,374 --> 00:45:09,576
But I do want to acknowledge

1037
00:45:09,576 --> 00:45:13,880
that this is an extremely hard
time for the LGBTQ community.

1038
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:18,284
I never imagined that being
a trans person in 2025

1039
00:45:18,284 --> 00:45:20,854
would be harder than it was
10 years ago.

1040
00:45:20,854 --> 00:45:22,355
And I'm ashamed to admit,

1041
00:45:22,355 --> 00:45:25,225
but something that I do
that calms me sometimes,

1042
00:45:25,225 --> 00:45:27,627
is that I like to think
about people

1043
00:45:27,627 --> 00:45:30,664
who have it a lot worse
than I do.

1044
00:45:31,765 --> 00:45:33,733
Like Jennifer Lopez.

1045
00:45:33,733 --> 00:45:37,170
(applause)

1046
00:45:37,170 --> 00:45:38,505
Let me explain.

1047
00:45:38,505 --> 00:45:40,106
(laughter)

1048
00:45:40,106 --> 00:45:43,476
Let me take you back to 2003,

1049
00:45:43,476 --> 00:45:47,881
she was with Ben Affleck,
a love for the ages!

1050
00:45:47,881 --> 00:45:50,517
At that time, she was
so inspired by this love

1051
00:45:50,517 --> 00:45:52,585
that she wrote an a--
well, "wrote!"

1052
00:45:52,585 --> 00:45:54,354
(laughter)

1053
00:45:54,354 --> 00:45:56,289
An album called
This Is Me, Then.

1054
00:45:56,289 --> 00:45:58,491
And there was even a song
on the album called

1055
00:45:58,491 --> 00:46:00,060
Dear Ben.

1056
00:46:00,060 --> 00:46:01,561
Beautiful.

1057
00:46:01,561 --> 00:46:04,864
As you all know, they broke up
a few days before the wedding,

1058
00:46:04,864 --> 00:46:09,369
but 20 years later,
they reunited.

1059
00:46:09,369 --> 00:46:13,640
And again, the love between them
was just so powerful,

1060
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:17,243
that she was moved
to write a new album!

1061
00:46:17,243 --> 00:46:18,845
(laughter)

1062
00:46:18,845 --> 00:46:23,183
This time called
This Is Me, Now.

1063
00:46:23,183 --> 00:46:25,218
(laughter)

1064
00:46:25,218 --> 00:46:28,288
(applause)

1065
00:46:28,288 --> 00:46:30,824
A real clever woman!

1066
00:46:30,824 --> 00:46:33,727
There's even a song on this
album called Dear Ben, Part Two.

1067
00:46:33,727 --> 00:46:35,195
(laughter)

1068
00:46:35,195 --> 00:46:39,132
But the album wasn't enough
to communicate the importance

1069
00:46:39,132 --> 00:46:43,970
of this love for Ben Affleck,

1070
00:46:43,970 --> 00:46:47,173
so she made a movie.
(laughter)

1071
00:46:47,173 --> 00:46:50,677
Called This Is Me Now,
A Love Story.

1072
00:46:50,677 --> 00:46:53,246
A CGI nightmare
that she produced

1073
00:46:53,246 --> 00:46:56,216
with 20 million dollars
of her own money!

1074
00:46:57,283 --> 00:46:58,918
I dare you to watch it!

1075
00:46:58,918 --> 00:47:01,421
(laughter)

1076
00:47:01,421 --> 00:47:04,624
But that still wasn't enough

1077
00:47:04,624 --> 00:47:10,063
to convey the magnitude
of this love!

1078
00:47:10,063 --> 00:47:13,533
So she made a documentary

1079
00:47:13,533 --> 00:47:17,370
about the making of the album
and the movie!

1080
00:47:17,370 --> 00:47:18,738
(laughter)

1081
00:47:18,738 --> 00:47:20,173
And she called it,

1082
00:47:20,173 --> 00:47:23,977
The Greatest Love Story
Never Told.

1083
00:47:25,311 --> 00:47:28,415
And they broke up
two months later.

1084
00:47:28,415 --> 00:47:33,453
(laughter)

1085
00:47:33,453 --> 00:47:37,390
Now, I believe that there
is a chance

1086
00:47:37,390 --> 00:47:40,060
that I can survive transphobia,

1087
00:47:40,060 --> 00:47:43,363
I could never survive
that kind of humiliation!

1088
00:47:43,363 --> 00:47:45,532
(laughter)

1089
00:47:45,532 --> 00:47:49,869
And that is why I will take
being a trans person in 2025

1090
00:47:49,869 --> 00:47:52,072
over being Jennifer Lopez!
(cheering)

1091
00:47:52,072 --> 00:47:55,108
Thank you guys so much,
I love you!

1092
00:47:55,108 --> 00:47:56,776
And I love J-Lo!

1093
00:47:56,776 --> 00:47:58,378
(applause)

1094
00:47:58,378 --> 00:48:00,580
(cheering)

1095
00:48:00,580 --> 00:48:02,882
(rock music)

1096
00:48:02,882 --> 00:48:04,651
Tranna Wintour!

1097
00:48:06,753 --> 00:48:10,056
Our next performer is not only
a comedian,

1098
00:48:10,056 --> 00:48:14,294
he is a bisexual dancer,
a writer, a personal trainer,

1099
00:48:14,294 --> 00:48:16,496
and the author
of an X-Men comic,

1100
00:48:16,496 --> 00:48:18,198
and after learning all of that,

1101
00:48:18,198 --> 00:48:20,166
he is also my
future ex-boyfriend!

1102
00:48:20,166 --> 00:48:21,167
(laughter)

1103
00:48:21,167 --> 00:48:24,237
It's my pleasure
to introduce Jay Jurden!

1104
00:48:24,237 --> 00:48:27,841
(electronic dance music)

1105
00:48:36,049 --> 00:48:38,251
{\an8}Give it up for
Alan Cumming, everyone!

1106
00:48:38,251 --> 00:48:39,719
{\an8}(applause)

1107
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:42,555
{\an8}Oh my God! Earlier
in the show, Alan said

1108
00:48:42,555 --> 00:48:45,158
that gay people weren't going
anywhere, well, after this show,

1109
00:48:45,158 --> 00:48:47,661
I am going to the bathhouse!
(laughter)

1110
00:48:47,661 --> 00:48:50,130
Now. I'm so happy to be here,

1111
00:48:50,130 --> 00:48:51,131
I want y'all to know something,

1112
00:48:51,231 --> 00:48:54,167
I'm not guy but my husband,
super gay, right?

1113
00:48:54,167 --> 00:48:56,036
(laughter)
No, I love him so much,

1114
00:48:56,036 --> 00:48:58,171
he's smart, he's funny,
he has a good job,

1115
00:48:58,171 --> 00:48:59,873
I'm supposed to say that,
but the most important thing,

1116
00:48:59,873 --> 00:49:02,075
big ol' dick on that boy!
(laughter)

1117
00:49:02,075 --> 00:49:05,178
My God! Yeah, have you ever seen
a penis so long,

1118
00:49:05,178 --> 00:49:08,281
it's like the line at the DMV?
(laughter)

1119
00:49:08,281 --> 00:49:10,450
You go, "Wow, I knew this was
gonna be long,

1120
00:49:10,450 --> 00:49:12,585
I didn't know I was gonna
have to take off work!"

1121
00:49:12,585 --> 00:49:15,088
(laughter)

1122
00:49:15,088 --> 00:49:17,223
"Also, why are three of my
friends here?"

1123
00:49:17,223 --> 00:49:18,758
Um, but.
(laughter)

1124
00:49:18,758 --> 00:49:21,394
I want y'all to know that
I'm so happy to be with him,

1125
00:49:21,394 --> 00:49:23,496
I always shout him out,
he is a bit younger,

1126
00:49:23,496 --> 00:49:25,331
he's 23 centimetres, and...

1127
00:49:25,331 --> 00:49:26,800
(laughter)

1128
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:28,935
That's the only conversion
therapy I'm gonna do.

1129
00:49:28,935 --> 00:49:30,970
Right? 23! That's pretty funny,

1130
00:49:30,970 --> 00:49:32,472
it doesn't work
if I say he's nine!

1131
00:49:32,472 --> 00:49:34,340
(laughter)

1132
00:49:37,510 --> 00:49:39,479
There we go, good, good, good!

1133
00:49:39,479 --> 00:49:42,615
No, I am getting a bit older,
I know I'm getting older,

1134
00:49:42,615 --> 00:49:44,951
because now I have a pair
of Transition lenses

1135
00:49:44,951 --> 00:49:47,287
and a pair of
cisgender lenses, and...

1136
00:49:47,287 --> 00:49:48,922
(laughter)

1137
00:49:48,922 --> 00:49:52,492
Yeah, old gays, I like being
a old gay, old gays, we're mean,

1138
00:49:52,492 --> 00:49:53,793
baby gays, they're meaner,

1139
00:49:53,793 --> 00:49:56,963
people who don't know they're
gay yet, they're the meanest!

1140
00:49:56,963 --> 00:49:58,164
They're always saying
stuff like,

1141
00:49:58,164 --> 00:49:59,599
"Please don't tell my wife!"
And I'm like,

1142
00:49:59,599 --> 00:50:01,301
"Shut up, senator!" Um, the...

1143
00:50:01,301 --> 00:50:03,203
(laughter)

1144
00:50:03,203 --> 00:50:05,205
(applause)

1145
00:50:05,205 --> 00:50:07,741
That works, because also,
hockey players! Uh.

1146
00:50:07,741 --> 00:50:09,642
(laughter)

1147
00:50:09,642 --> 00:50:13,113
No, I try my best to be very
respectful for our community,

1148
00:50:13,113 --> 00:50:16,316
I have a rule, I do not make fun
of other people within the queer

1149
00:50:16,316 --> 00:50:18,818
umbrella, so right?
I don't make fun of lesbians,

1150
00:50:18,818 --> 00:50:22,355
because last year, I found out
that lesbians can fight!

1151
00:50:22,355 --> 00:50:24,424
(laughter)
Oh! My God!

1152
00:50:24,424 --> 00:50:26,760
Have you ever been kicked
by a pair of Doc Martens?

1153
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:28,194
You make that mistake once!

1154
00:50:28,194 --> 00:50:30,163
It is quite a heavy shoe.

1155
00:50:30,163 --> 00:50:31,631
I don't know if y'all know
y'alls queer history,

1156
00:50:31,631 --> 00:50:33,400
but lesbians have actually
created a platform

1157
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:34,968
for so many queer performers
over the years,

1158
00:50:34,968 --> 00:50:38,004
and by that I mean they
probably built this stage!

1159
00:50:38,004 --> 00:50:39,339
(laughter)

1160
00:50:39,339 --> 00:50:41,641
Now that's what we call
a well-constructed joke.

1161
00:50:41,641 --> 00:50:45,078
(laughter)
That is A union-approved joke.

1162
00:50:45,078 --> 00:50:46,112
I don't make fun of lesbians,

1163
00:50:46,112 --> 00:50:47,914
I don't make fun
of non-binary people,

1164
00:50:47,914 --> 00:50:51,184
because I don't like it when
baristas spit in my coffee, hey!

1165
00:50:51,184 --> 00:50:52,185
(laughter)

1166
00:50:52,185 --> 00:50:55,155
I can't make fun
of non-binary people,

1167
00:50:55,155 --> 00:50:57,257
y'all! What if I want
my bike fixed?

1168
00:50:57,257 --> 00:51:00,093
What if I wanna buy a record
on vinyl,

1169
00:51:00,093 --> 00:51:03,630
what if I need an ugly tattoo?
What I'm saying is...

1170
00:51:03,630 --> 00:51:05,031
(laughter)

1171
00:51:05,031 --> 00:51:08,101
...they have a lot of jobs,
and listen!

1172
00:51:08,201 --> 00:51:11,037
Gender is fluid,
but their assets are liquid.

1173
00:51:11,037 --> 00:51:12,639
I don't make 'em.
(laughter)

1174
00:51:12,639 --> 00:51:14,908
I don't make 'em, but
they/them's the rules!

1175
00:51:14,908 --> 00:51:16,476
Wait, hold on!

1176
00:51:16,476 --> 00:51:18,645
I'm doing a quick sweep
for mullets, uh.

1177
00:51:18,645 --> 00:51:19,846
(laughter)

1178
00:51:19,846 --> 00:51:22,215
Naw, I'm sorry, y'all
are French, moulet? Uh.

1179
00:51:22,215 --> 00:51:23,616
(laughter)

1180
00:51:23,616 --> 00:51:25,418
Yeah yeah, I don't wanna be hit
with a wallet chain

1181
00:51:25,418 --> 00:51:27,587
after the show, right?
(laughter)

1182
00:51:27,587 --> 00:51:28,788
Get over here!

1183
00:51:28,788 --> 00:51:31,658
Oooooh! I think Scorpion's
a beautiful name!

1184
00:51:31,658 --> 00:51:34,194
(laughter)

1185
00:51:34,194 --> 00:51:35,895
Finish them!

1186
00:51:35,895 --> 00:51:38,665
Hey, hey, hey! I can make
that joke! My husband recently

1187
00:51:38,665 --> 00:51:40,467
came out to me as a little
bit non-binary.

1188
00:51:40,467 --> 00:51:43,336
He said, "Hey baby, I'm okay
with using he, they pronouns,"

1189
00:51:43,336 --> 00:51:45,071
which means he usually feels
like a boy,

1190
00:51:45,071 --> 00:51:47,374
unless there's a bug
in the house. Now...

1191
00:51:47,374 --> 00:51:50,977
(laughter)

1192
00:51:50,977 --> 00:51:54,547
Full disclosure, he loves that
joke, they? Not so much!

1193
00:51:54,547 --> 00:51:56,516
But...
(laughter)

1194
00:51:57,751 --> 00:52:00,253
I'm learning, gender is tricky!

1195
00:52:00,253 --> 00:52:02,622
I have so many straight male
comedian friends,

1196
00:52:02,622 --> 00:52:04,657
and what happens is they
butch it up when they get out

1197
00:52:04,657 --> 00:52:06,793
in front of people.
They're normal backstage,

1198
00:52:06,793 --> 00:52:08,828
as normal as they can be,
but when they see other men,

1199
00:52:08,828 --> 00:52:11,765
they go "We need to bring back
real men, bring back real men!"

1200
00:52:11,765 --> 00:52:13,633
And I always want to tell those
straight comedians,

1201
00:52:13,633 --> 00:52:16,503
"Real men are not on stage!"

1202
00:52:16,503 --> 00:52:18,071
(laughter)

1203
00:52:18,071 --> 00:52:21,641
There's never been
a real man on stage,

1204
00:52:21,641 --> 00:52:23,109
real men are on...

1205
00:52:23,109 --> 00:52:26,212
probation, real men are on...
(laughter)

1206
00:52:26,212 --> 00:52:29,082
heart medication,
real men are on the couch

1207
00:52:29,082 --> 00:52:32,986
'cause Mom is mad! Real men
are on boats, not fun boats,

1208
00:52:32,986 --> 00:52:36,022
shipping vessels, real men
are on real boats,

1209
00:52:36,022 --> 00:52:38,858
so fake men like all of us
can eat real crab, okay?

1210
00:52:38,858 --> 00:52:40,360
(laughter)

1211
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:44,197
Real men don't hunt drag queens,
they hunt dungeness!

1212
00:52:44,197 --> 00:52:46,933
But, it's always tricky
for these people,

1213
00:52:46,933 --> 00:52:48,168
they don't get it,

1214
00:52:48,168 --> 00:52:51,071
they don't understand
that gender is so expansive.

1215
00:52:51,071 --> 00:52:52,172
A lot of my straight friends,

1216
00:52:52,172 --> 00:52:53,773
all right now, they're also
doing something called

1217
00:52:53,773 --> 00:52:55,809
semen retention.
Y'all heard about this?

1218
00:52:55,809 --> 00:52:57,877
Okay, semen retention, that's
when you hold all the evil juice

1219
00:52:57,877 --> 00:52:59,579
inside of you, and you think
it's gonna give you

1220
00:52:59,579 --> 00:53:01,648
superpower, alright?
(laughter)

1221
00:53:01,648 --> 00:53:04,184
I-I want you to know something,
this entire set,

1222
00:53:04,184 --> 00:53:05,752
I've been doing
semen retention!

1223
00:53:05,752 --> 00:53:08,121
(laughter)(applause)

1224
00:53:08,121 --> 00:53:11,391
I promise for the next two
minutes, I will not c--

1225
00:53:11,391 --> 00:53:13,193
don't look at me, hey!
(laughter)

1226
00:53:13,193 --> 00:53:16,463
Whew, almost lost it!
No, I'm kidding,

1227
00:53:16,463 --> 00:53:19,232
I don't do semen retention
like that, I do it like this.

1228
00:53:19,232 --> 00:53:21,835
(laughter)

1229
00:53:21,835 --> 00:53:23,870
(applause)

1230
00:53:23,870 --> 00:53:27,841
You guys, that is obviously
a lie, I have a ring!

1231
00:53:27,841 --> 00:53:28,875
(laughter)

1232
00:53:28,875 --> 00:53:30,510
A lot of people, they ask me,
they say,

1233
00:53:30,510 --> 00:53:33,947
"Jay? How are you a bi
man in a gay relationship?"

1234
00:53:33,947 --> 00:53:35,749
"I don't know, the same way
you're a dumb ass

1235
00:53:35,749 --> 00:53:37,083
in this premise!" My...

1236
00:53:37,083 --> 00:53:41,521
(laughter)

1237
00:53:41,521 --> 00:53:44,624
My big theory now is that
everyone is getting gayer,

1238
00:53:44,624 --> 00:53:47,460
right? Everyone in this room,
even if you're straight,

1239
00:53:47,460 --> 00:53:51,765
you are gayer than your
great-great grandparents, right?

1240
00:53:51,765 --> 00:53:53,433
(laughter)
That's how time works.

1241
00:53:53,433 --> 00:53:55,001
Okay, every woman in this room

1242
00:53:55,001 --> 00:53:56,603
is gayer than her
great-great grandmother because

1243
00:53:56,603 --> 00:53:59,305
y'all get to rattle off crazy
lesbian nonsense, like,

1244
00:53:59,305 --> 00:54:01,608
"Well, I think." And there was.

1245
00:54:01,608 --> 00:54:04,544
(laughter)

1246
00:54:04,544 --> 00:54:06,679
I know we're having a great
night, but we really need

1247
00:54:06,679 --> 00:54:08,982
to make sure we keep our eyes
on the prize and make sure

1248
00:54:08,982 --> 00:54:11,985
we make sure everyone is safe,
and no one feels unsafe

1249
00:54:11,985 --> 00:54:13,887
in their own body and sexuality.

1250
00:54:13,887 --> 00:54:16,556
I recently had to deal with some
homophobia, and by that,

1251
00:54:16,556 --> 00:54:18,258
I mean I did not get my way!

1252
00:54:18,258 --> 00:54:21,194
I...
(laughter)

1253
00:54:21,194 --> 00:54:24,431
No, listen! I was walking in my
neighbourhood, I'ma be honest,

1254
00:54:24,431 --> 00:54:26,833
I was prancing in
my neighbourhood! And,

1255
00:54:26,833 --> 00:54:27,901
(laughter)
I passed by this church,

1256
00:54:27,901 --> 00:54:29,302
this church had a sign, it said,

1257
00:54:29,302 --> 00:54:32,205
"Gentrifying sodomites are
ruining Harlem!" And I thought,

1258
00:54:32,205 --> 00:54:34,307
"Oh my God!
That is a crazy way to say

1259
00:54:34,307 --> 00:54:36,242
"Thank you for
the new Sephora!"

1260
00:54:36,242 --> 00:54:38,812
Alright, I've been Jay Jurden,
thank you so much!

1261
00:54:38,812 --> 00:54:40,647
Give it up for Alan Cumming!

1262

00:54:46,653 --> 00:54:50,323
Thank you, Jay Jurden!

1265
00:54:52,559 --> 00:54:56,029
We're closing with an
award-winning stand-up comedian,

1266
00:54:56,029 --> 00:54:57,998
television writer and author.

1267
00:54:57,998 --> 00:54:59,866
A high achiever? Absolutely!

1268
00:54:59,866 --> 00:55:03,303
Did they stop there?
Absolutely not!

1269
00:55:03,303 --> 00:55:06,005
Tonight, they'll be performing
music from their debut album

1270
00:55:06,005 --> 00:55:10,176
I'm A TV, please give it up
for Mae Martin!

1271

(applause)

1277
00:55:28,261 --> 00:55:32,499
To me, this song, I think it's
a very positive song?

1278
00:55:32,499 --> 00:55:34,934
When you hear it, you might be
like, "This sounds sad,"

1279
00:55:34,934 --> 00:55:39,139
but I think for me, it's about
how um, it doesn't matter,

1280
00:55:39,139 --> 00:55:42,042
like things are so dark
right now in the world,

1281
00:55:42,042 --> 00:55:43,576
but these things come in cycles,

1282
00:55:43,576 --> 00:55:45,712
and we've been through dark
things before,

1283
00:55:45,712 --> 00:55:48,548
and whatever they
throw at us, we can face it.

1284
00:55:48,548 --> 00:55:50,050
As long as we keep doing
things like this,

1285
00:55:50,050 --> 00:55:51,751
and staying together
and not hiding away,

1286
00:55:51,751 --> 00:55:53,219
playing video games.
