Our guest this episode is Belinda Carroll. Comedian, writer, activist, actress, and singer. In addition to organizing the Portland Queer Comedy Festival and helping to organize Portland Dyke March, Belinda has appeared on Grimm and Portlandia. Oh, and she was awarded the Woman of Achievement Award from the State of Oregon, presented to her by governor Kate Brown. We had a laugh and talked about the evolution of the lgbtq comedy scene since her arrival in 2008. During the quarantine, Belinda has been working to help find safe housing for houseless people who've been exposed to or have contracted Covid 19. It's hard to find enough good things to say about this powerful, energetic, funny young woman. I know you'll enjoy it as much as we did.

"I turned my personal comedy mailing list into a mailing list for Black Lives Matter, I call it Supporting Black Lives just to make sure they know that I'm not doing anything on the behalf of the actual BLM organization. It's just a separate thing I am doing for people who are my friends and now a lot of people have joined as well.""There are a lot of queer Black people, Black people, homeless Black people who just like need support now and I think it's really important that we give them that support before it's too late.""Black Twitter is like the funniest shit ever. If you are not onto Black people on Twitter, Black-run accounts, you're missing out so much. They were the funniest at the height of the most painful moments and I don't know how they were able to balance it but it was so fucking funny.""Black people have been gas lit and tortured and their families have been destroyed by the government systematically for as long as they've been here or were taken here, so it's not on us to get tired. If we get tired, we're not really fighting alongside them.""I think Twitter is where revolutions happen.""I think a lot of the social media stuff, it's really hard because it's how individuals organize. With Twitter and Instagram and Facebook, it's a compromise because it's like I don't want to have to use a company that has these types of people on their boards or that profits so deeply off of our data but simultaneously, it's the best way to get information to people and to also try to save lives. I don't fault people for using these platforms because right now we don't have an alternative that gives us access to as many people and as much information that can contribute to like a revolution."On comedy for the first time: "I don't really remember being nervous. I just remember being like excited and just like I don't know what's going to happen.""Then you just bomb enough times that you're like it doesn't fucking matter.""I never bomb and get off stage and regret having performed. I've never felt that way.""With some people it's like guts, with other people, they are like idiots. They like are not self aware and they get up there and it's arrogance.""You can make people the butt of jokes if you are not an asshole.""People always say like punch up but I have seen people like punching down but it's not punching down when they are clever about the joke.""You can talk about another group of people and make fun of them but in a fun way and not in just a like 'I'm trying to be offensive' or actually think I'm better than them kind of way.""I think anything can be funny but it really depends on the context of everything.""I love crowd work so much though cause it can completely flip a room. You have no idea what's going to happen and it always works better when people don't try to be funny, they are just being honest.""I feel like being on stage is so unique and incredible and I just really miss it and I'm never going to take it for granted again.""People are doing it [stand up comedy] right now and I just don't trust it and I don't think it's responsible for them to be performing.""There are a lot of underground shows happening in NY, where they are not wearing masks, they are just sitting right next to each other and I just think it's so bad. What's been frustrating to me - a lot of these people support Black Lives Matter but Black lives are the one's most effected by Covid right now. They are the ones that are dying at disproportionate rates. They are the ones suffering the most, as always. What blows my mind is people who go to the protests and then don't take Corona seriously or go to the protest and don't take it seriously there and like hug or whatever because they are caught up in the moment. You are really undoing a lot of the things are you are trying to fight for. It doesn't make sense to me. People should really be careful."Pallavi Gunalan bioPallavi Gunalan is biomedical engineer, stand-up comedian, improviser, actor and writer.

Julie & Brandy take the Pacific Northwest by storm, after traveling 850 miles to record the podcast live in Portland. The audience (which consisted of 4 fans and 121 day-pass holders to the Portland Queer Comedy Festival) were simultaneously disturbed and curious, but the girls didn't let that get them down. They start the show by breaking down the ever-developing Trump/Putin bromance, before interviewing Portland's premiere LGBTQ influencer, Belinda Carroll. After that, they host a very special, press conference with Sarah F*ckabee Sanders, and then they listen to the super gay (and super awesome) feelings from DGP #1 fan/Intern Aran O'roe. It's live and it's large, but, by all intents & purposes, it's definitely/probably... not in charge. *********** Dumb Gay Politics with Julie & Brandy www.patreon.com/dumbgaypolitics www.julieandbrandy.com Julie Goldman and Brandy Howard Learn more about your ad choices.
