Women and Comedy in Solo Performance : Phyllis Diller, Lily Tomlin and Roseanne PDF
by Suzanne Lavin
Description
This work examines the dramatic changes in American women's comedy performance in the years 1955-1995.
The study focuses on the stand-up of Phyllis Diller and Roseanne, and on the character comedy of Lily Tomlin.
As the historical arc of women's comedy unfolds, it outlines a change from the traditional vaudevillian style of stand-up, as represented by Diller (50s-70s), to a more satiric comedy represented by Tomlin (60s-80s) and Roseanne (80s-90s).
