Funny and honest

Great interviews with fantastic comedians and goes through the gamut of why these ladies went into comedy, how hard but rewarding the path is, and dips into the “Are Women Funny?” controversy. I’d say this would be a great watch for anyone who is either a fan of comedy or who wants to pursue comedy as a career. This was educational and also entertaining – the women are very open and honest – and of course, funny!
