Summary: I peed!
Review: Besides being very cute,Ms.Fumerist can hold anyone`s attention,with a great writing style,she`s funny,punny,and along with intelligence,intuition,and wit,she`s able to evaluate the political scene with uncanny accuracy. It is our good fortune that she at last has put on paper what she has so capably done on stage. It is a great loss to our children,however,that the schools have lost a great mind,and a thought provoker. Move over Molly Ivins!!!!!

Summary: Not As Funny As I Had Hoped
Review: I first saw Kate Clinton on "Out Loud and Laughing" and found her extremely hilarious. I found her topics in her comedy to be something I could really relate to, as well as her dry, sarcastic wit that was applied to every single comment, almost as sinful as buttered popcorn. I had been looking forward to this book for a long, long time.Imagine my surprise when I read the book and hardly laughed, but more importantly, had to FORCE my way to get to the end. It was a difficult read not because of the language or the topics, but because I didn't care about what she had to say. It seemed too wordy, as if there wasn't any real point she was trying to make, but that she had to fulfill her 60,000 word contract deal. I had better hopes for Ms. Clinton's book and hope that if she releases another one, she has a goal in mind; namely, a point.

Summary: Funny Book by a Terribly Funny Woman
Review: I found myself laughing throughout this wonderfully funny book, however it would have been considerably funnier preformed. Clinton is among my favorite Comediennes, and proves again to have an inteligent wit. The book drags in places, however, when tone and motion are simply necissary additions. So I recomend having someone read this to you while adding tone to their voice and motion to their bodies! Or simply watch her live or listen to one of her CDs.

Summary: Funny as Kate
Review: I frequently laughted out loud when reading the book...just as I do when I see Kate do stand up. I do wish she had focused more on autobiographical info. Also...have to add...when Kate was on Rosie WHY was the "L" word never mentioned when promoting the book??

Summary: READ OUR LIPS: ENOUGH ALREADY
Review: Mainstream lesbian comedian (and Provincetown resident) Kate Clinton's humor is showcased in this collection of 26 short pieces -- part stand-up routine, part essay, part schtick. Some of them are quite funny: "Whenever a woman describes herself as 'post-feminist,' I picture women lashed to posts. Joan of Arc was an early post-feminist." Some are mildly amusing: "Jean Harris was an early hero of mine. Who hasn't wanted to blow away a diet doctor?" Some are perfectly dreadful: "When CBS sportscaster Ben Wright claimed women don't make good golfers because their boobs get in the way of things, I thought, 'Two words, Ben. Beer. Gut.'" Once you get her started, you might want her to shut up. For a bit.
