...from the drama of the bullfight to the drama of Casey Cowen, age 25, struggling comedian in New York City? "I like the irony in the title," says Liz Coe, "I see the comedian as synonymous with the matador, very much in an arena, and required to defend herself with the only weapons available. She has what can be likened to a sword--her aggressive sense of humor. Her cape is her sense of humor used as a disguise...
...Casey Cowen's bull is her audience, which she must goad and challenge to laughter.

He was brought up, he said, "where waifs, strays and tramps congregated, and was entertained by the gossip and history of old men and old women who were survivals from an Ireland that had disappeared."
