Dear HelloHilarious,
For anyone who wonders whether female comedians are deluged with groupies and lauded beyond our wildest girlhood dreams, I’d like to share with your readers this recent piece of “fanmail.”

I see that you are a comedienne. I listen to the Raw Dog channel on Sirius, and I have never heard of you.
I hastily assumed that you were a lesbian, as almost all of the female comediennes on the Raw Dog are lesbians (Suzanne Westenhoefer, Patton Oswalt, Judy […]

You’ve seen her work everywhere. Maybe you didn’t know you saw it, but you have. Anya Garrett is responsible for making some of the most average looking comedians look balls to the wall sexy. Make no mistake, Anya may be very, very, young, but she knows a thing or two about how to make sex sell.
Let’s start with the basics, Anya, like most people, finds big eyes and big lips sexy. But not everyone has these […]

The world is full of assholes giving you advice you don’t want or need. But, every now and then you get some nugget of wisdom that makes all the turds worthwhile.

I live near NYU dorms and have become somewhat of a voyeur to the college crowd as they return back to school for the year. I look at these kids and I wonder, how the hell did I manage to get laid in college? There are some universal cockblocks almost all college students seem to achieve nationwide.

Covergirl Amy Poehler!

Not a picture from Bust. But, in case you forgot what she looks like.
The October/November issue of BUST features a kick-ass interview with Amy Poehler, written by superstar writer/producer Jill Soloway. I’d be excited to read an interview with a hot dog by Jill Solloway, but Amy Poehler? I clapped my hands through the whole thing!
Soloway and Poehler discuss careers, the male gaze, and Kate Capshaw’s bush - along with my favorite topic: […]

As part of our Back To School Week, guest contributor Anne Nodar offers some advice on eating your way through college.
I spent way too much of my time at The University of Georgia funneling beer, jumping up and down to The Violent Femmes and thinking about my hair. Sometimes I wonder if I could’ve done more with my college experience. I also ate copious amounts […]

Apparently, it’s Pet Fashion Week.
I got a call to this effect at around 5 PM on Saturday, just as I was about to go into a yoga class. Leslie Padgett, editor-in-chief of The New York Dog Magazine, to which I am a regular contributor of dog-themed comics, left me this voicemail:
“Hey Julie, it’s Les…just wanted to let you know that I have extra tickets to this black tie dog fashion show…it’s an event for […]

I had booked a nice post break up vacation to sunny Los Angeles, where strangely enough, my first subject for my new column was also summering. I sat down with fellow recent break up participant, Kimmie Gatewood for a chat about comedy and heartbreak.
Kimmy Gatewood: First of all Margot, you look fabulous. How funny to be here in LA – and what are the chances we’d both be dating people […]

Holy shit its hot! According to the NY Post it’s so hot we’re all going to die! Seriously!
Or at least, some old people and cats will.
In an effort to keep you all safe and alive, we’ve put together these summer-weather tips from some of our favorite comedians:
