Event Details

It really was a man’s world when it came to comedy (according to the bookers and talent agents of the time) but some women did manage to open the door, with Phyllis Diller credited as the first woman standup comic. Other pioneering comedic women included Moms Mabley, Jean Carroll and Joan Rivers. Join journalist Evan Weiner for this presentation.
