In a revealing, lengthy interview with Splitsider, Joan opens up about the ideas and inspirations behind "In Bed...," her standup, and the worldview that makes her so unique. Don't believe it? Here's a sample!
You’re one of the most well-known comics out there today, why are you doing a web chat show?It sure is, Joan. It sure is.
Because that’s where life is now. It’s all about social media and the internet. I look at my grandson and he’s on his iPad and he’s on his iPhone and he’s reading books that are, unfortunately, no longer hardcover books. And I love that; it’s the Wild West out there. I can say what I want on the show, I can ask the questions I want, and it’s just so much fun. And there’s nobody coming to say “Well, we’re the network, and we’d rather you not do that joke.” There’s none of that. It’s all new and wonderful.
