Helen Keeler: Two women walk into a comedy club...

Stand-up comedy is a very male domain. That's okay. There are lots of areas that attract one gender more than the other. It's also worth saying that the majority of male acts and promoters are decent and respectful men, many of whom I now consider to be my friends. But there is enough sexism to create a struggle at times.

Helen Keeler on her experiences of sexism in comedy

I have been doing stand-up comedy for five years and I love it. I've met lots of great people; friendly people, clever people, socially aware people. People who explore issues, politics and injustice through comedy. And people who are just plain funny. But I've also come up against sexism like never before in my life.
