Funny Women Of Comedy Today

Moderators: Edie Kirk, Bob Cohen

Details

DESCRIPTION:

Let’s learn more about the women comedians of today, whether they work in film, television, or stand-up. Where did they grow up? How did they end up in comedy? What kind of humor do they offer their audiences? 

A list of women of contemporary comedy will be sent to participants. It will include well-known comedians such as Tiny Fey, Amy Poehler, Wanda Sykes, Paula Poundstone, and Maya Rudolph, as well as some lesser-known women such as Iliza Shlesinger and Ziwe. With approval from the moderator, participants may choose to present a female comedian not on the list. 

ROLE OF PARTICIPANTS: Participants are invited to share information about the life, style, and topics of the comedian they choose (with clips, if they like) for thirty to forty minutes. Afterwards, they will help to lead a discussion.
RESOURCES:

Participants are invited to find their own resources. The moderator will be available to assist.

ABOUT THE MODERATOR: Edie Kirk loves all forms of comedy. She has moderated several seminars for FCLIR and enjoys getting to know people and sharing in the interaction of the seminar format.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Morning seminars run from 9:30 am – 11:30 am.
