Hysterical women giving and getting props

I’m thrilled to introduce the Hysterical Festival, a fantastic project aimed to give women in comedy their due. While there seems to be this general conception that women aren’t nearly as funny as men, these ladies aim to defy that stereotype and take the cake in hilarity. And Feministing’s next NYC Happy Hour is going to be at their April event, a comedy show sponsored by BUST magazine taking place at Comix, an all-women owned comedy club in New York (which are hard to come by).

The great thing about this project is that not only are female stand-ups being recognized, but also sketch performers, improvisers, cabaret acts, comic musicians, solo artists, writers, filmmakers, burlesque divas, and more.
Hope to see you there!
