Why Women Don't Come to Comedy Shows
from Bastard Radio | The Tim Dillon Show #372 · #372

Tim laments that his comedy crowd is mostly single male losers in oversized hoodies, riffing on how women travel in packs and buy fewer tickets, wishing crowds had more women.
- Tim mentions Lois J. Gomez has a special on YouTube and discusses how people sometimes tag him thinking he's Luis Guzmán instead.
- Nick Mullen's comedy special 'Year of the Dragon' is on the Adam Friedland Show channel.
- Tim didn't want to do a special but there's a lot of money to be made right now in stand-up comedy, especially at the theater level.
- Women attending shows is crucial for success; comics doing well have tapped into the female audience, and it's the opposite of Tim's strategy.
- Women travel in packs, making them valuable for ticket sales since each woman brings friends, whereas Tim's male fans come alone.
- Tim's audience is mostly single dudes dressed in oversized hoodies who have no friends and take up entire tables despite being one person buying one ticket.
- Tim compares comedy clubs to Southwest Airlines—they should implement seating policies for people in oversized clothing before Lewis C.K.'s show.
- He tells his crowd if they just got friends, he could start selling out shows instead of asking people in the basement to pay cash.
