Since I have started looking into further details of the series Reba, I want to share with everyone my passion for my favorite character on the show. I attached most of her funniest blurbs. Check it out. We don't really talk about comedy and women and I think it's a very important subject for women. Sometimes a good laugh can really be important to a woman. Sometimes when you get a good laugh it becomes a coping mechinism. I'd love to tap into comedy and gender and society.
I couldn't find much statistical data out there that actually states typically how many more men comedians there are but I did find a bit of info on the below web site.
It indicates that in the past 12 months at a hot comedy spot called Zanies in Chicago, there were 5 stand-up comics that were women and 67 that were men. This doesn't prove the theory there are more men comics but it certainly gives us a rough idea of whats out there! I would love to see this data change also.
i never really even thought about this...i used to watch this show called last comic standing and most of the contestants were men with some exceptions but all of the final comedians were men and the winners are all men too. barbara jean is the funniest in this show, but she is not to be outdone by van who is also funny, and its weird because both of them are funny because they are kinda dumb as well as cheyenne. hm....
