Comedian Laurie Elliott

and what is with that cruel irony that
cruel cruel irony where as you get older
everything that you want to keep big and
round and bouncy and jiggly ends up
really long and skinny dangly right and
then what you want to have really long
and lean ends up all big and ran again
sometimes being a woman is great and
sometimes it’s tough hi I’m Veronica
watchmojo.com and today we’re chatting
with comedian Lori Elliot about the good
the bad and the ugly issues of womanhood
and how she can make you laugh at at all
we did just get married recently we
needed an excuse to go to Vegas but we
have been together for a really long
time and we’ve actually hit that point
in our relationship where the sex has
become sarcastic no you’re just like oh
that feels great oh no put my leg there
I want it to fall asleep so before I
even began in comedy you are a
competitive diver who is afraid of
heights so how did that work out for you
when you’re scared of heights and you’re
a diver you get up there and you just
throw yourself off you know there’s no
hesitation now at this point in my life
I wouldn’t go near any of the high
diving boards at all I actually got
kicked out of public swim the last time
i was there because i did a dive on the
3-meter board and i went up and and i
came really close to the board and the
lifeguard kicked me out do you have the
same love hate relationship with comedy
oh that’s interesting and kind of it
could be yeah cuz you can if you have a
great set you love you love comedy but
if you get off stage and you haven’t
done very well and you’re not happy with
what you did you’re just terrified of it
the next time you do it but then you
still just throw yourself off and do it
again anyway penises are weird what
they’re good were they
works out a lot of your shows discuss
being a woman and your body changes and
going out clubbing as a cougar do you
just take the inspiration from your life
I celebrated a birthday just this last
little while and the day before my
birthday I was all like oh and getting
older oh look at my friend my bonnie was
like yeah actually last night after the
show a gal came up and she said I
thought you’re really funny but I
couldn’t tell whether you were joking or
not and then I decided my birthday gift
to myself will be to forget and forgive
my body for doing what it’s doing and
just work on my inner supermodel right I
so the night before my birthday I go up
to bed before my husband and I’m gonna
do a little bit of an act out for you
because you just have to see this to
believe it go to bed before my husband
I’m lying there I’m doing my new nightly
affirmations right I was all just wake
up alive you can do it don’t start
crying before noon I knew what she meant
because some of the stuff I say from my
life experiences sounds pretty
outrageous but it’s true so I’m just
about to fall asleep and my husband
comes upstairs and he gets into bed and
he starts doing this to me just like
through and it felt really weird and I
was like stop that that feels weird and
I swear to god he goes I’m just trying
to rub your back baby
I’m one of those people where weird
things will happen to me and I guess my
energy provokes it or invites it and I
use it and that’s pretty much where I
get my inspirations from I did not know
what to do I just grabbed one of my
boobs out of my armpit and I just
started beating the hell out of them
well thank you very much and good luck
with everything thank you it’s been very
fun
