NO, Rosie O’Donnell started out as a working class stand up. She was very different in tone and content.
I guess I’m not sure what you mean by “working class
comedian “ so I’ll go along with your definition, nick.
I do wonder what other types of comedians there are out
there? And, what kind of a comedian is Roseann Barr? She
seems even more “working class” than Rosie. I recall
that a bunch of her early shtick was from the POV of
a couch potato, bon-bon eating, trailer park diva. I
think she might have worn a moo-moo on stage a time
or two.
