Women, nonbinary comedians crack up patriarchy in Shenanigans’ ‘Men Aren’t Funny’
Article here. Excerpt:
'There are no cooties at this comedy show.
UCLA’s comedy club Shenanigans is once again hosting its “Men Aren’t Funny” show, kicking off their first performance of the year Friday. Gabby Klijian, a third-year English student and the president of Shenanigans, said the club frequently puts on “Men Aren’t Funny” as a way to exclusively showcase female and nonbinary performers in a variety of comedy routines, including improv, stand-up and sketch performances.
Although there aren’t any guidelines on the comedians’ content, because of the theme of “Men Aren’t Funny,” most of the show’s material spotlights feminism and the experiences of women and nonbinary comedians, said Karina Dutko, a geography graduate student\ and the co-head of Shenanigans’ stand-up team.'
