This book offers a thorough examination of digital work by women
comedians in the US, exploring their use of digital media to
perform jokes, engage with fans, remake their reputations, and
become political activists This book argues that despite its many
adverse effects, digital work is changing comedy, empowering women
to create new comic forms and negotiate the contentious political
climate incited by former President Donald. J. Trump Chapters are
focused on video-podcasting, TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube,
and the streaming platform Netflix - each containing informative
case studies on significant women comedians who use them, including
Sarah Silverman, Amy Schumer, Leslie Jones, Mindy Kaling, Colleen
Ballinger, Lilly Singh, Ms. Pat, Whitney Cummings, Issa Rae, and
others To understand their strategies, this book examines the
popularity of their digital content, their career-outcomes in
television and film, as well as the ups and downs of their critical
reputations in magazines, newspapers, the trade press, and with
their participatory audiences online This insightful and timely
work will appeal to scholars researching and teaching in the areas
of media studies, digital communication, gender studies and
performance
