long time no blog

hiya ,not done this for a bit but just got the urge . I have been thinking about women comediens and how people think women cant be as funny as men etc . There`s been a fuss because in the Chortle Awards -a comedy site that among other things gives out yearly comedy awards- there was only 2 women .

I have been puzzling over this long running debate about women and comedy ... I dont think its just in comedy ... I dont think women generally get the recognition they deserve full stop . I was somewhere recently helping out at a charity night and they had singers (proper good ones classically trained and all that ) They were students at a well known music college . There were three young women who sang . they got very good receptions but the place went on fire when a young man took to the stage -cheering stamping of feet etc . He was a good singer but by no means better than the women . There was an inequality of support for him and that is whats going on for women in comedy as well .Its a mans world but not because they are funnier -because they just get more attention ?. what do you think ? x
