Jo Firestone is great. You should know that. You should go follow her on Twitter and bookmark her website and watch her webseries Womanhood (with Aparna Nancherla!) and go see her whenever she performs near you. You should also watch her performance from the Paste Studio last week, where she turns the humble shout-out into a tender (and increasingly desperate) gesture of acceptance. If you can watch this without feeling anything at all, then perhaps you’ve forgotten how to feel in the first place.
We’ll have more videos from the latest comedy night at the Paste Studio throughout the week.
