We
love to laugh. Some of us even live to laugh. Laughter is not always
the best medicine, but it can be a great help with fighting pain and
alongside other treatments in cases of illness of all kinds.
Celebrating
comedians is a great idea, and celebrating female comedians on a
special day is a great idea.

This
is because there is still a HUGE gender gap in comedy. Some comedy
club bookers tell very funny female comedians that “women aren't
funny.” Even if women get booked in a comedy gig, they usually get
paid a lot less than male comedians. Audiences often say, “I don't
like female comedians” before they've even heard a particular
woman's act. Comedian Vanessa Fraction says “you have to have tough
skin and fearlessness” to be a female comedian.
So
today, take some time to watch and talk about and honor funny women!
Here
are a few of my favorites:
