Brooklyn-based comedian Eva Evans is being praised for making “hilarious” yet respectful jokes about the LGBT + community during a recent show. A clip from Evans’s set, posted on Instagram by comedy company Don’t Tell Comedy, has gone viral, with people applauding her for cracking tasteful jokes about trans people. In the set, titled “Dating a Trans Man,” Evans begins by recalling her first date with a trans man.
“I didn’t know he was trans from his profile,” she admits. “But, you know, in person, I figured it out. But I didn’t give a f***.
I’m too poor to have a phobia. “As long as you identify as a man who’s payin’ this check at the end of this motherf***in meal. That’s all I care about,” Evans quips.
“As long as your pronouns are Zelle and Cash App, I don’t give a f*** about what else you got goin’ on.” She continues, assuring: “And it was a good date! You know what I’m sayin’? The conversation was good; the vibe was good. It went south when the bill came, and his card declined.
“I was like, ‘Oooh,’ and he was like, ‘Oh, don’t worry, one of my six roommates are gonna send me some money,’ I was like, ‘Where the f*** you live at? jail n****? What the f***?’ Six roommates? “So, long story short, he pays the bill and says, ‘Eva, I had a great time. I would love to take you out again,’ and I said, ‘Absolutely the f*** not.’ He got offended.
He’s like, ‘Oh I thought we had a great time. Don’t tell me.
