If you’re looking to start a Twitter war or drum up publicity, you could do worse than to accuse women of being unfunny. It’s worked for everyone from Christopher Hitchens to Adam Carolla. And even if women have conquered late-night (Chelsea Handler) and the box office (Bridesmaids), they’re still outnumbered nearly two-to-one in television writers’ rooms and on movie screens, where they made up only one-third of all characters in the country’s top-grossing films. Do women comedians have to act like men to get laughs? Is there a distinctly female approach to humor—either in creation or in consumption? A panel including Lisa Zeidner, author of the satirical novel Love Bomb, and writer Jeanne Darst visits Zócalo to discuss women, creativity, and the art and science of funny.
