Fighting Gender Inequality Through Comedy with Lynn Harris

Despite the strides women have made in the comedy world, studies have shown women are stereotyped as less funny than men. Female comedians often get less stage time than their male counterparts. And only one female comedian—Amy Schumer—has ever made it to Forbes’s highest-paid comedians list. Lynn Harris, a feminist entrepreneur, journalist, author, and comedian started GOLD Comedy in 2016 with this in mind.

GOLD Comedy is a platform for teen girls, young women and non-binary folks who want to turn their sense of humor into their superpower. The organization started with giving live comedy classes, online resources, and organizing events for teen girls. As CEO, Lynn is teaching comedy to encourage young people to have their voices heard –both on and off stage.
