Andi Osho has just been crowned Britain's most talented new female stand-up. She beat out 180 competitors for the title, including 10 very funny finalists. To be honest, I've never seen any of Andi's standup, (Darn you Youtube!) but I'd be very interested in Britain's (supposedly) funniest lady. From what I could tell about her in The Guardian's article about her, she seems to be a very witty person.
The interviewer told her about Christopher Hitchens' sexist remarks in Vanity Fair, when he wrote: "Why are women, who have the whole male world at their mercy, not funny? There are some impressive ladies out there," he said. Although "they tend to be hefty or dykey or Jewish, or some combo of the three".
In response to him, Andi said, "Men think they are so funny, even when they are not. In fact, especially when they are not." Andi apparently tends to stay away from female comedian staples such as boyfriends, periods, and weight loss, and talks about her Nigerian roots, instead. Andi's stand-up routines have caused a bit of controversy, but she says that she would hate "to be accused of just using Nigerian people for comic gain".
