It wasn't until the 10th century that women were allowed to perform and then only in rare incidences. Like many art forms female comedy got its start in the church and expanded to stage radio film and television. For the longest time it has been believed that women aren't funny. The stories within these pages will not only debunk that myth but will make you wonder how it ever got started in the first place. Women of all races have not only taken center stage in comedy but in many cases have dominated it.ÞThis book thoroughly explores the genre. ÊComediennes: Laugh Be a LadyÊ chronicles the evolution of the humor through the research of Darryl and Tuezdae Littleton and the scores of interviews they conducted with veteran female performers from all mediums as well as Tuezdae's own experiences as a comedienne. Startling facts are revealed and tributes are paid to the icons of yesteryear by the titans of today in their own words and sentiments.ÞWomen have always made us laugh from their outrageous characters pratfall humor cutting barbs clever wit and unforgettable side-splitting moments. Their herstory has only just begun.
