There are a couple of things I want to impart to ladies who want to be in comedy: One, you donโt have to be weird or be quirky to get your job done. And two, comedy skill is not sexually transmittable. You do not have to sleep with a comedian to learn what youโre doing. Male comedians will not like that advice, but it is the truth.

Tina FeyAfter college, I knew I wanted to work in comedy, so the first thing I did was go to where the comedy was. I moved from Charlottesville to Chicago, because that's where The Second City and Improv Olympics are. You have to go wherever you need to go to study what interests you.
