Writing a humorous blog (www.zeitgeistschadenfreude.wordpress.com) has made me reflect on the misconceptions around funny women. It seems as though there are always people very keen to make out that women 'just aren't as funny as men,' despite much evidence to the contrary (Tina Fey anyone?).
So today I want to celebrate on one of my favourite funny women who I discovered indirectly through Barbara Streisand's amazing performance in Funny Girl, Fanny Brice.
These two clips show her fearlessness and virtuosity, as well as being damn amusing.
It's gorgeous to be graceful
I wouldn't buy a ting
Enjoy!
