Amy Shumer has seemingly answered this prevalent question with her premier of the second season of Inside Amy Schumer which became the most watched season premier of all time on Comedy Central, a network with an audience of 60 % men Schumer manage to attract a 50-50 male-female demographic. This becomes shocking when you realize that almost every single sketch she perfroms on the show make some sort of comment on gender roles and politics
This change is important as shows like the Simpsons have shown that laughter often is the best catylist for reflection and in turn change.
I actually watch Amy Schumer and a lot of her stand up. I personality think she is hilarious but I have noticed that she uses many sexual theme in her stand up and sketches. I feel like this is common for female comedians because it grabs a good number of audiences but I feel like they kind of sell themselves short a bit. There are more funny subjects other than sex when it comes to female comedians.
