I've never been to an open mic where women and queer folks aren't consistently funnier than men.
Addendum: cishet men aren't funny specifically.

Don't have time to watch YouTube, this a plug for your tight ten or something?
Tight ten?
Standup term compadre
Not mine, it was improv night at yuk yuks (for charity) and this lady was hilarious
Why can’t queer folk be men to you?
When did I say they couldn't be?
Could you more clearly explain how queer men are excluded in "queer folks" but queer women are not? I think you read that with the intent to presume I'm excluding them and didn't actually analyze the wording.
Not the one responding to you originally, but your wording does directly contrast "queer folk" with men. By saying one group is funnier than the other, you're inherently creating two separate groups.
Did you perhaps mean one thing and say another? I can only read your words as putting men into a category apart from queer folk.
Ah I see. I had considered queer folks to include gnc regardless of assigned gender at birth --including queer men -- and "women" and "men" as cishet since like, they aren't queer and cishet women are still funnier than cishet men consistently.
