KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 7 — As a comedian, Shamaine Othman gets upset when attention is given to badly written jokes.
The 39-year-old, who started doing comedy in 2011, said any issue can be talked about as long as it is really, really funny.The Kuala Lumpur-based comedian, who gets her ideas for her shows from her own life experiences and sometimes from friends and family, said female comedians need to work harder due to stigmas.“There is a stigma that women are not funny so female comedians have to work doubly hard when they are on stage.
“We have to prove to the audience - most of the time men, who for the longest time believe women are not funny.” Having moved about in the comedy circuit. in both Malaysia and Singapore, Shamaine said she practices self-censorship when writing her material and takes into consideration local sensitivities.“The self-censoring happens at the writing stage, not performing. I of course think about local sensitivities when writing my jokes.
