As Black History Month Meets Women's History Month... "The Chitlin' Circuit"

As Black History Month Meets Women's History Month...

 

National Women's History Museum highlights Jackie “Moms” Mabley! “The Funniest Woman in the World,” Mabley was a celebrated American stand-up comedian whose career started on the “chitlin’ circuit” and lasted over 50 years. Mabley was a trailblazer for African-American women in comedy, and was notable for her success in tackling difficult and edgy subjects.

You can tell from the audience reaction how ground-breaking she must've been considered.  I can only hope she's enjoying all who followed.

I hope you enjoyed.  It was fun laughing through the line-up as I put this together.  The hardest part was not including so many.

On March 8, 2014, International Women's Day, I will be performing my stand-up in this mostly music variety show.  Admission is free, and I hope to hear you sharing the laughter.
