"Girl Bully is an hour of vindication for any woman who has ever been asked if we still ‘need’ feminism. After spending several nights watching male comedians complain about their girlfriends/wives on stage, this show is the perfect antidote. You’ll laugh, you’ll empathize, you’ll make notes for future arguments. And, if Clohan and McDonnell are emblematic of the future of modern feminism, I think we’re heading in the right direction."
