Show notes

Stand-up comedy has long been associated with White men. But, as Dr. Rachel Blackburn explains in this episode, there's a long history of women of color performing stand-up. Today, BIPOC comedians are challenging boundaries and raising new issues in ways that are changing the nature of live comedy.
