The Las Vegas show description seems to relie heavily on stereotype but I have seen it done in a feminist vein. Quebec's very own grande dame of stand-up comedy, Clémence Desrochers - of whom I was graced to be a writer 3 1/2 decades ago - had a very moving and very funny show about menopause in 1989 entitled "J'ai show!" Pee ran down the aisles, as I fondly recall.
