Carol Robert's Humor—Cynical, Autobiographical
February 1982 · San Francisco Examiner • by Bill Mandel
Roberts operated at the nexus of comedian and performance artist. Records of her performances are clustered in the early 1980s, at Bay Area clubs, including the Other Café, the Boarding House, and Fanny’s Cabaret.
Roberts shared the bill with three other women including Paula Poundstone. Mandel wrote, “Roberts also admitted to being a foodsexual. She offered tips on spotting habits with the foodsexual community. If the fork is worn protruding from the left rear pocket, the person is into feeding. She ran through the erotic names of some candy bars, particularly favored by the practicing foodsexual: Big Hunky, Chunky, (Looking for) Mr. Goodbar, Butterfingers.”

Hello Carol, here's what we last talked about…
This temporary communication section will disappear when you’re finished filling in the gaps and satisfied with the look and feel of your ‘wing’ of AMUSEum.
- Words
- Images
- Links
- Video
- Homework!? Instead have fun filling out the Questionnaire. Nothing is ever in stone, it can always be re-jiggered to perfection. You can create your own categories. Don’t let the prompts cramp your creativity or memories.
- BONUS: The video interview we did in CA is transcribed, you can certainly plunder those words if you want… [http://femprovsf.blogspot.com/p/recollections.html ]
- Your headshot! (instead of the raggedy Xerox) and of course any other images to replace the ones in my collection, especially if they spark a story to be told
- Note to self: I have a copy of your stand-up at Cobb’s and will do my own homework in finding it. Unless you have another clip you would rather share…
- Never fear, you can always make additions, if you unearth more artifacts or memories.
