    I'm from Russia and I'm ashamed I'd never heard of Moms Mabley before I watched The Marvellous Mrs. Maizel. But after I did I went to listen her original material and she is a goddess! She is so brilliant! Totally love her lines and performance.

      No she isn't 'actually considered the first official.
      Are people too lazy to look things up.
      She was an early stand comedienne, but most definitely not the first,nor official.
      There were many Jean Carroll, Belle Barth, Betty Walker, Sophie Tucker, Rusty Warren,etc.

      @@josie7381 It has nothing to do with when someone started.
      It has to do with when they became known.
      And Moms Mabley didn't really get known till the 50s the same as all the others you mentioned. They all got to be somewhat known around the same time.
      And with all of them, all around the same decade what really got them notoriety was their record albums. That was what really got Mabley more known, same with Rusty Warren, etc.
      Carroll never got as known as the others as I don't think she made an album (maybe she did???).
      My main, and only point is when people use superlatives ie. the first official......ever....
      I hate that, as there always were many.
      I used to listen to Moms Mabley, I loved her stuff. I'm not knocking her.
      I just hate the 'ultimate.....official......ever...greatest....labels, as it's all subjective.
      Yes even Mabley, as it doesn't have to do with how old she was,or when she started,
      they all became 'known' around the same time
      That's what matters

    • @martinwoyzeck2634
      @martinwoyzeck2634 5 лет назад +6

      You've missed the point.
      There were so many vaudevillians, performers, clowns, comedians,etc. in those days, it's impossible to say who was the first female comedian.
      Or any kind of 'first' performer.
      If you want to believe that, that's fine.
      It doesn't make it fact.
      The bigger problem here is that you've turned it into a racial thing.
      Sorry that gets old.
      I know there is racism, but when you turn everything into a racial issue, it loses validity.
      It becomes paranoia, as in your case.
      So your thing is I'm trying to re write history specifically because Mabley was Black,
      and I don't want the first female comedienne to be a Black person/woman?!.
      Do you realize how paranoid, and ignorant that sounds.
      Sorry to use the word ignorant, but come on....that's your whole point?!.
      It's this paranoid conspiracy to re write history because she's Black????!
      For one, I didn't see others on here say the same thing, they're the ones that said she was the first official.
      It was just me that made the comment.
      If you want to turn that into a racial thing, or that I'm being racist by saying what I did, that's your problem.
      It never entered my mind.
      There was nothing 'beneath' the obvious reasons for what I said.
      It was exactly what I said, not just making one person as the 'official' anything.
      And also, it's impossible to know who was the 'first'.
      There wasn't exactly official records on stand up comedians on stage, in vaudeville,etc. during those days.
      How can you prove she was the very first?
      You can't.
      I think it's important to identify 'real' racial issues, but when you turn everything ,
      like this into a racial thing, it's like the 'boy who cried wolf',and you start losing credibility.
      I can't believe you've turned this into a racial thing.

      @@josie7381 There was a post,and thread some time ago, when Phyllis Diller died, saying she was the 'first' woman who opened doors for other female comediennes.
      I corrected them ,that there were many before her, and I listed Mableys, along with some of the others I mentioned.
      So I guess I was trying to rewrite history, so that it wasn't a white woman who was the first.
      The point is there was no first.
      Do you realize how many 'unknowns' there were, but they existed, both male and female performers, comedians,etc.
      I'd work on your paranoia.
      There is real racism out there, which is terrible.

      @jonhall8462 5 лет назад +5

      Because she cursed on the old "Chitlin Circuit" that most Black performers play on before the mid to late 1950's due to segregation. Plus her early albums were all party albums. The same for most early Black comics like Redd Foxx, N ipsy Russell, Dolemite, etc.

      You're quite the prideful, arrogant one, aren't you? Sorry to rock your world, but there very much so IS a God, and in a VERY short time, Jesus Christ is coming in the clouds for those of us who are His and who love Him. You may think you're wise, but Jesus Christ is going to show you otherwise.. 'A *FOOL" says in his heart, there is no God".

    "Moms" Mabley used to appear on Johnny Carson from time to time and I recall her sitting in "the chair" telling a joke that nearly put Johnny backwards out of his chair. She was a riot, and her story is quite interesting. She blazed a trail for many. Much respect for her.
