March 31 is National “She’s Funny That Way” Day
Today is National “She’s Funny That Way” Day. Its purpose is to pay tribute to the women who make us laugh all year long.
Author Brenda Meridith created today’s holiday to coincide with the March 2003 publication of her coming-of-age novel entitled She’s Funny That Way.
There are many ways to celebrate: watch comedic movies and TV shows, catch a stand-up act in person or online, read humorous essays and books, or just call up the funniest woman you know and laugh until you run out of minutes.
Here is a partial list of women who crack us up:
- Julia Louis-Dreyfus
- Amy Schumer
- Ilana Glazer
- Abbi Jacobson
- Jenny Slate
- Natasha Leggero
- Chelsea Peretti
- Lena Dunham
- Whitney Cummings
- Jessica Williams
- Sarah Silverman
- Cameron Esposito
- Samantha Bee
- Melissa McCarthy
- Tina Fey
- Amy Poehler
- Kristen Schaal
- Eliza Coupe
- Casey Wilson
- Lisa Kudrow
- Jen Kirkman
- Iliza Schlesinger
- Tymberlee Hill
- Danielle Schneider
- Lisa Lampanelli
We know we’ve overlooked many hilarious ladies/women/girls/females/goddesses. If you feel there’s been a miscarriage of justice, by all means, let us know. Write your suggestions in the Comments section and we’ll add them to the list. (We’ll give you proper credit, of course.)
While we understand that humor is subjective and some material might be considered offensive, we will not remove anyone from the list. We don’t present ourselves as the ultimate arbiter of taste and trust our readers to keep their own counsel regarding what they choose to watch and read.
Have a happy National “She’s Funny That Way” Day!
YOU!!!!!
