What happens

Lizzy the Lezzy is an animated stand-up comedy series about a woman called Lizzy who talks mostly about lesbian interests. The sketches contain graphical sexual material but not graphic imagery. Lizzy the Lezzy was created in October 2006 by the Israeli cartoonist Ruth Selwyn. This is the first animated stand-up material of its kind, and the videos have had over 4 million views online. The first episode was uploaded to Myspace and was soon spotted by Arlan Hamilton who writes one of the most popular lesbian blogs on the internet. The publicity from Hamilton's article led to The L Word Online suggesting to Selwyn that she make a funny stand-up video about The L Word. Lizzy then made fun of other lesbians and the resulting video was posted on AfterEllen. In 2007, Logo TV acquired the first ten Lizzy stand-up comedy videos and broadcast them on its gay/lesbian animation show, Alien Boot Camp. Curve magazine included Lizzy in an article entitled "Networking Lesbians", and Lesbians on the Loose International featured Selwyn and Lizzy as well. Lizzy's stand-up "comedy" videos were also covered on The Bilerico Project's "Sunday Funnies" and on Jewcy where she was described as "the funniest lesbian on Myspace". Lizzy videos were shown in many gay-themed film festivals, such as the 2008 Israeli Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, and the 2008 Lethal Lesbian 3 film event. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
