- "A real labor pain is when you compare your paycheck to a
- man's." So quips comic JENNY JONES, whose own fortunes are
- soaring. A former backup singer for Wayne Newton, Jones is
- touring the nation with a hit show that permits no men in the
- audience and no male waiters, bartenders or stage crew in the
- room. "It becomes like a group-therapy session," she says.
- "Women say the most outrageous things. But if there is one guy
- in there it won't happen." Among her topics: job equality, PMS,
- stretch marks and relationships. But some folks aren't
- laughing. There were complaints of sex discrimination in Boston
- and Seattle, and a Los Angeles agency is refusing to sell
- tickets to an upcoming appearance. Says Jones: "If they try to
- shut me down, I'll do the show in the ladies' room."
