]"It's like a nightclub policy when it comes to black people on tv: one in, one out... we all seem to be fighting over that little crumb of work... they just see us all as one person" - Gina Yashere

Hi Inspirations,

Well Gina left the UK to go and spread her wings and broaden her horizons out in the US, namely sunny L.A! Here Gina was recieved by the U.S comedy industry with open arms.

So why did Gina leave the UK and what does she really think of the UK comedy scene for black female comedians and black comedians in general? Gina commeneted during our interview:

"I've reached a certain level of success in England...if I was my equivalent in the U.S I'd be a multi-millionaire...there lies the difference"

Since her trip to the US Gina has made a great name for herself perfoming on HUGE platforms including her own One hour Comedy Special ‘Skinny B*tch ‘(SHOWTIME), Stand Up in Stilettos (TV Guide), The Jay Leno Show (NBC), Last Comic Standing (NBC), Chelsea Lately (E!), and Def Comedy Jam (HBO)! She also did the Kat Williams Tour!

Gina is currently back in the UK doing the Udderbelly Comedy Festival from 23rd - 25th May 2013 - find out more at www.GinaYashere.com
