Re: The stereotype that "women aren't funny".

[(Anonymous)]

Have you as a woman ever experienced something like this yourself where you are seen more as obnoxious than funny when you try to joke around?

Only with strangers. A couple of months ago I started at a new work place and like I predicted to my old colleagues, my new colleagues really need to get used to me and my sense of humour. (Hell, they have to get used to the fact that a woman is cracking jokes...)

If you are a woman who tries to be humorous, were you ever silenced by your teachers who were lenient with boys who wanted to be the class clown?

Mmm, I guess so, but since I've always felt like a boy and acted accordingly, and again also as a result of them getting to know me and me persevering, in the end I was accepted as being me.

Have you seen more people call female comedians "unfunny" compared to male ones?

No, not really. But it's not something I regularly get into with people.

Do you agree? Do you disagree?

Yes and no. I do think that female comedians have a disadvantage in that they're not encouraged to be funny and all that so when they start out it seems there are (social) barriers they need to overcome. Once they're over that and they go out all guns blazing, it's fantastic.

And do you have any recommendations for great comedians (guys or gals)?

Gals: Sarah Millican, Joan Rivers, Jo Brand
Guys: Sean Lock, Billy Connolly, Eddie Izzard
