Seattle, WA — Local comedian Eloise MacNamera reportedly began writing new Tinder jokes Tuesday evening, indicating that she is preparing to break up with her current boyfriend.
“His friends go to the same bar where we have our open mic, so hopefully he doesn’t hear them,” said MacNamera. “I tried writing a few break-up jokes, but it was very obvious that they weren’t about ‘my boyfriend from college’, so I wrote some Tinder jokes instead. I was half-way into this bit about guys always holding up a fish, when I realized that I should probably get on with the whole break-up thing.”
Open mic dweller and friend of MacNamera, Jake Peterson, is thrilled for her sudden decision to shift to new material.
“She sent me one of her jokes about guys who say that they like ‘The Office’ and she’s been talking about how her boyfriend ghosted her for like four days, so I think she’s gonna dump him soon,” Peterson claimed, as he scrolled through MacNamera’s Instagram page. “Her relationship jokes were getting old, so I’m excited for her to bring back her ‘single girl’ material. It gives me hope that maybe someday, I’ll be the butt of her jokes.”
Local booker Fred Tabbaccini, who has watched MacNamera develop into an above-average open mic comic, believes that Tinder jokes are a pivotal stepping stone in her career.
“Look, if she makes it clear that she’s single, I guarantee that she’ll get booked more,” declared Tabbaccini. “Every poster needs at least one girl on it, and if she’s single, that’s an added perk for me. Plus, I’m sure that these guy comedians will laugh harder at her jokes at open mics if they think it’ll make her forget that they’re unemployed and still live with their parents.”
At press time, MacNamera announced that she plans to use the extra money she’s made from the additional bookings she’s gotten to pay for a Tinder Gold subscription.
