Rhea Butcher goes in on sports sexism in a new track from her debut stand-up LP
With her debut album, Butcher, due out August 19 on Kill Rock Stars, Rhea Butcher is about to make a bit of a comedy splash. The comedian, who appeared on Conan just last week, has blended her Akron-born blue-collar sensibilities with jokes about sports and femininity, both of which are touched on in “Bicycles And Baseball,” the track from Butcher that The A.V. Club is premiering below. The hilarious bit, which finds Butcher both musing about being insufferable and talking about the differences between baseball and softball, was recorded in Portland and is especially perfect listening now in the run up to the MLB All-Star Game.
