Fake herstory

In an article in the Washington Examiner, Stephanie Lundquist-Arora says comedian Michelle Buteau is claiming “herstory” as the first female comedian to hold a show at Radio City Music Hall. Which caused me to recall something I saw on the marquee at Radio City Music Hall about 12 years ago. It gave dates of upcoming shows featuring Chelsea Handler and the Dalai Lama. As I began wondering what THAT show would be like, I was disappointed to notice that they were not together on the same date.

A lot of people do not consider Chelsea Handler to be very funny, and apparently Michelle Buteau is in that camp. However, if you look up her bio, it says "comedian." So in addition to being virtue-signaling nonsense, like so much coming from the Left these days, Buteau's claim is simply not true.
