Wisecracks

In the male-dominated world of stand-up, these queens of comedy display their ample talent onstage and offer their keen insights offstage in this hilarious documentary. The talent roster is a who's who of funny women: Whoopi Goldberg, Ellen DeGeneres, Paula Poundstone, Phyllis Diller, Carol Burnett and more. Filmmaker Gail Singer also traces the roots of feminine humor with clips of Lucille Ball, Eve Arden and Mae West.
