The Comedy Bureau Field Report Ep. 119: Bailey Norton & Women Getting Death Threats They Don’t Deserve in 2022

Unfortunately, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the world in 2022 is still not a fair, equitable, or even hospitable place for women. Things for women in comedy are objectively better than they were in the 70s or 80s, but that doesn’t mean there’s actual equality and true inclusion. The beaming delight that is comedian Bailey Norton has a chat with us about how she gets death threats from men for innocuous humor all the time as well as what it means to be a woman playing a ukulele in comedy these days.

NOTE: “Simmah down now” was the catch phrase of SNL’s Cheri Oteri
