Women Can Make Anything An Insult
Dry Bar Comedy · 2021 · 21 min
A clean, fast-paced set about modern fashion and relationship dynamics.
K-Von walks on stage in skinny jeans that he admits make him feel immediately feminine, then spends his time analyzing the social gymnastics of modern dating and language. The core of his act focuses on communication, arguing that women possess an unmatched ability to convert any seemingly harmless compliment into an offense. He compares the practical utility of 1990s cargo pants, which allowed men to act as a walking pharmacy for their partners, to the restrictive nature of modern tight trousers, which leave men entirely useless at carrying lip gloss.
Taped at the Dry Bar Comedy club in Provo, Utah, the 2021 release is a squeaky-clean, fast-paced set that relies heavily on audience reaction. K-Von, who frequently tours as a clean comic and refers to himself as the most famous half-Persian comedian, was leveraging his massive social media following to transition into larger theater shows during this period. The performance also touches on modern outrage culture, highlighted by a bit about an audience member getting offended on behalf of a blind man in the front row who was actually enjoying the teasing.
