Kate Stone, Funny Women, 23rd January 2019Are women funny?
I was recently sent an email by a student who wanted to ask me some questions about women in comedy for a university project she was doing. We get this request quite a lot, unsurprisingly, and the questions are usually the same: 'why aren't women seen as funny', but I don't mind a bit. Why? Meh, I'm glad they're taking an interest, I could be responding to the next Katherine Ryan and I think it's an important question to ask, it's certainly a question we at Funny Women should be addressing, so let's start 2019 with it. Why don't [some] people think women are funny?
