Five women came together at a restaurant in Greenhills to prove what shouldn’t need proving – that female comedians are funny as hell. Their show was aptly called Abante Babae: Pinay Stand-up Revolution.
Women are funny. It’s a statement so plain and painfully obvious that it seems almost idiotic to say it out loud.
The room’s walls were painted with cartoonish grey bricks, as if to recreate some sort of medieval dungeon. The musty smell in the air added to the effect. The subtle ridiculousness of it all was not lost on the women, who made cursory note of the unusual decor before settling into the pre-show wait.
That they were able to gather five female comedians at all was a feat in itself. Most comedy line-ups in Manila are made up mostly of men. As Diana said, of say 100 stand-up comedians in the Philippines, maybe less than 10 are women. They are all relatively new to the scene too.Nung pandemic nagkahobby lahat ng tao.
