On episode 114 of Fixing Joe, Joe is joined by stand-up comedian and new documentary creator Bonnie McFarlane. Bonnie is married to stand-up comic Rich Vos, and Joe gets to see Bonnie's perspective on dealing with a husband who has the same kind of anxiety as him. Bonnie also discusses her anxiety as a comic, and the two talk about how comedy really works. Bonnie talks about her family life and how they were embarrassed when she started doing stand-up comedy, and would only watch her on Last Comic Standing because their friends talked about it. She tells Joe about how her parents are very cold, ignored her when she didn't live the way they wanted her to, and how they would never give her advice. Now she has her own family, which includes comic Rich Vos and their child. Joe asks Bonnie what it's like to be married to a comedian as a comedian, and Bonnie tells Joe about their intimacy issues and how he has a tough time acknowledging she's a woman. Bonnie has a new documentary coming out soon called "Women Aren't Funny", which includes interviews from comedians like Lisa Lampanelli, Sarah Silverman, Artie Lange, Chris Rock, etc. The documentary is now being shown in festivals and should be out on Netflix and television soon, so keep an eye out for that!
