It describes how her Catholic upbringing prepared her for a career as an outspoken lesbian comedian. Also, Cameron is the co-creator and co-star of the TV series, Take My Wife. Her recent comedy special, Rape Jokes, raised nearly $100,000 for RAINN, the nation’s largest anti-sexual violence organization. All systems have hypocrisy and flaws. Nobody is perfect. Comedy can be a relief. Cameron is endlessly curious about other people’s past and present experiences. What will happen next?
