We contactedAnoushka Rava, acomedian, actress, writer, andcertified public speaking coach, to discusscomedyand the role of women in it. Initially, we asked her about the most popular topics she addresses with her audience during her comedy performances. Anoushka shared: “I talk about being French & Iranian, and how that mix of cultures has influenced me. I compare both cultures, talking about similarities and differences regarding the treatment of women in both cultures.” Rava continued: “I talk about how complicated traveling is when you have French passports but look Middle Eastern and have a first name that sounds Russian and/or Indian and an Iranian last name.”
Besides discussing topics related to her origin, Anoushka also addresses issues that resonate with women from variouscultures: “I talk about the dating world in the 30s, not having kids yet. Women relate often when I talk about my dating mishaps, my exes, and how it’s challenging to have a handsome father who dates women younger than me.” Lastly, she added: “I also have a set about egg freezing.”
We were also wondering if Rava has noticed any differences in how men and women respond to her comedy. The performer told us: “I haven’t noticed much difference, really. I tend to cater to both female and male audiences. I like to believe my sets have universal themes. I don’t put men and women against each other. I’m against that. I believe unity between men & women is the answer.”
The comedian shared with us how she finds a balance between addressing serious issues affecting women and providing light-hearted entertainment in her acts: “I try to add some absurdity. In my storytelling, I find the derision in a true situation. I always ask myself: ‘If that’s true, what else?’ Like in improv, I use the ‘yes and’ technique. I extrapolate situations and find the absurdity and turn them around. I try to underline the absurdity of certain situations.”
Finally, we asked Anoushka Rava what advice she’d give to other female comedians aiming to connect with their female audiences. We found out: “I believe authenticity is key. Talk about what affects you. That’s when the conviction will be the most felt. Don’t try to talk about what you think the audience wants to hear. They’ll relate to what feels authentic.”
