Kat Timpf on battling trolls, embracing pregnancy and writing a book about being written off for her views

Kat Timpf, a commentator, comedian, podcaster, and author, is not interested in your preconceived ideas. One can always rely on her to lighten serious subjects with a humorous and unrepentant style, whether she’s showcasing her lively personality on stage or offering her libertarian viewpoints on “Gutfeld!” on Fox News.

Timpf, a Detroit native who began her comedic career in Los Angeles, received a magna cum laude degree from Hillsdale College. She has maintained a high level of activity over the years, skillfully juggling her comedic career with her political influence.

Her second book, “I Used to Like You Until… (How Binary Thinking Divides Us),” which was published on September 10 by Simon & Schuster, follows her New York Times bestseller, “You Can’t Joke About That: Why Everything Is Funny, Nothing Is Sacred, and We’re All in This Together.” She recently revealed her first pregnancy.

With context playing a key role, Kat Timpf’s popularity stems from a relatable blend of genuine emotion and hard laughs, which she credits with helping her navigate both the highs and lows. Timpf is bringing all of that (along with some awesome merchandise) to Thousand Oaks on her “I Used to Like You Tour” at the Scherr Forum Theatre on September 14. She will be showcasing her comedic skills while unintentionally putting an end to those “you can’t have it all” critics.

The success of “Gutfeld!” is astounding. I was a big fan of “Red Eye,” but I’m not crazy. The fact that it was on Fox News always seemed strange to me. Trying to explain to some people why the show was so fantastic was interesting.

Kat Timpf: Prior to ever being on it, I was a big fan of “Red Eye.” However, it wasn’t until a year after I was hired that I told Greg that. Additionally, I still have to explain Fox to people because they have preconceived notions about it and believe that everyone there is on the same page, which is simply untrue. It is completely possible to be friends with people who disagree with you on political matters, which is so annoying that I felt compelled to write this book.

Although it’s rarely clear-cut, picking sides seems to be what people demand.

Yes, and because you hold a variety of independent opinions, people will accuse you of being a “fence sitter” because you don’t firmly support one side or the other. I have strong opinions, so I’m not sitting on a fence. Going all in on one side or the other would actually be much easier for me because I would have a whole group of people supporting me regardless of what I said or did. Having a group of allies makes things easier.

I assume that both people you know and those you don’t have been lenient with the baby advice.

Naturally, I have no idea what to anticipate, and I have received advice from people online, which I find less offensive than people being so cruel and hateful. They refer to it as a “geriatric pregnancy” because I am 35. I received hateful remarks like, “You don’t understand anything about the world because you don’t have any kids,” for years. You will soon come to regret this, and your eggs are scrambled and drying up. You’re very self-centered.

You would think that this is what these people wanted when I became pregnant, wouldn’t you? People are saying, “Can you just shut up about being pregnant already?” even though I didn’t do it for them. They are some of the same individuals! There are some people who will always be haters.

The whole “Oh, you’re not the first person in the world to be pregnant” thing just irritates me. I am aware of that! However, this is my first pregnancy! There aren’t many things that genuinely arouse awe and wonder at life and being alive, and life can be so boring. Sometimes I’m like, “Let me have this!” because I’ve been so dead inside! Are you upset that I’m joyful and anticipating a baby? I’m okay with people who want to give me practical advice because they mean well.

Social media can be a bizarre and uncomfortable place, but it is important to make a stranger happy and excited about life’s accomplishments. People are often more likely to be happy when they are excited about something, and social media can be a powerful tool for expressing emotions and expressing oneself.

Melinda DiMauro’s new book, “I Used to Like You Until,” is a powerful exploration of vulnerability and the importance of standing up for oneself in the face of overwhelming hatred. The book is for anyone who has ever felt like someone has written them off for just one aspect of themselves.

Timpf shares her experiences of coming out to Los Angeles and how it has impacted her life. She started doing comedy in L.A. to cope with her struggles and found it helpful to make fun of the things making her feel powerless. She is grateful for the support and opportunities she has received, and she believes that opening the tour in the Los Angeles area is the best way to do so.

Comedy is a complex medium, as it showcases an insecure mind shining in the spotlight. Despite being insufferable, she is self-aware and believes that her book is an important and fun read.
