Bette Midler On Stand-Up Comedy: “A lot of girls just don’t like it. lt’s a very hard life being a stand-up comic and most women are not built for it. Most women are just not strong enough,physically or mentally, lt takes a terrible toll out of you ”“ you have to be very pushy, you have to work like a dog. lt’s a very rough life, but if you’re committed to it, it can be rewarding.” (The Australian Women’s Weekly, 1978)
