Wait for the punchline: 'Women aren't funny'

The notion that "women aren't funny" is debunked by iconic female comedians such as Midge Maisel and Deborah Vance in popular US TV shows, challenging ageist and sexist stereotypes. Despite ongoing barriers in the comedy industry, successful women creators like Amy Sherman-Palladino and Lucia Aniello prove that humor knows no gender boundaries. Insisting otherwise is to overlook the undeniable talent and achievements of women in comedy.
