'Too Long; Didn't Listen' Ep. 6: 'Women Aren't Funny' With Bonnie McFarlane And Marina Franklin

Talking Catcalls And Women In Comedy With Bonnie McFarlane And Marina Franklin

HuffPost Comedy Editors spend all day looking at funny things on the Internet. Now, they have a podcast. This is, "Too Long; Didn't Listen."

In a special sixth edition of "TL;DL," Katla McGlynn sat down with the very funny Bonnie McFarlane and Marina Franklin ahead of their New York Comedy Festival panel entitled, "Women Aren't Funny: Debunking The Myth" on Nov. 6 at Caroline's.

Instead of our usual segments, comedians Bonnie and Marina offered their thoughts on the viral catcalling video and the comedy community's various responses to it, then moved on to discuss the unfortunate misconception that women aren't as funny as men.

Listen to Bonnie and Marina talk about their experiences as women, both on the street in NYC and on the stage as comedians in the episode below. Be sure to check out Bonnie's documentary on the same subject, "Women Aren't Funny," and Marina's all-female podcast, "Friends Like Us," both on iTunes. Tickets are available for their NYCF panel featuring Blair Breard, Lea DeLaria and Judy Gold here.
