"For males, one of the aspects to their sense of humour comes in the form of camp. Campy, is one element of the 'gay sensibility'. camp is self mocking, winking at the audience, and very smart humour. It isn't just dumb put downs, sophisticated gays don't just watch any old bitch fest"

(Padraic Maroney, January 21st  2008, Defining The Gay Sensibility)


I think this basically suggests how the roots of camp are buried in oppression and irony which is expressed through exaggeration and by using this type of comedy makes it easier to make fun of what is going on in normal everyday culture as well as making a political statement.Relating back to 'Bitch fest' emphasises the femininity of gays and showing how a dominant idea of gays are feminine
