Trans comedy duo GraceGFreud & autogynefiles bring their new sketch show to Austin.
“How we met was,” Freud says, laughing in between words, “April was my childhood bully.”
At a time when what Clark calls claptaugher-type trans identity comedy rules the scene, Girl God’s actual joke construction stands out. Despite both women being popular on the bird website, they avoid the Twitter comedian trap of simply reciting tweets or mistaking online clout for offline success. “The reason that we do well on Twitter and in person is because writing a show for the real stage and writing stuff for online, they're both writing exercises,” April explains.
“What's the fucking joke there?” Freud says. “That you're a fucking pussy? Like, come on, man … We've told jokes about how we suck and are cowards so that's not the point. Are you really going to use your time on Earth and on the stage to do this wishy-washy nothing? I'm not saying turn your comedy into like a civil rights speech. I'm saying the opposite of it. I'm saying just be funny, like, do jokes that are funny.
