by Women may have made great strides in comedy this decade, but judging by America’s comedy clubs, they’re still not getting booked on a regular basis.
A new project, Project Comedy Club Database, broke down some numbers. Looking specifically at the past three months, September-November 2019, the project found only 16 percent of the comedians booked (either opening, middling or headlining) across 55 comedy clubs were women.
Fifty-four percent (54.3, precisely) of the comics booked were white guys.
