It's a Joke, Joyce

Here they all are! The Music hall comediennes and cross-dressers, the vaudeville soubrettes, the stars of the Tivoli and the Phillip St Review, the first radio and TV performers - those glamorous, wise-cracking women - the musical comedies, the cabaret club circuit, 'The Mavis Bramston Show,' sit-coms, theatre restaurants, 'IMT' and the chat shows, the boom of the stand-up comics and the new clubs in the late seventies and eighties ... It's a Joke, Joyce, is an album of over 100 women who over the years have made us laugh at them and at ourselves. This is the first anthology of women's humor ever assembled in Australia. Alongside revealing and hilarious interviews you will find a sway of fascinating photographs, anecdotes and each women's chosen script - or cartoon - that will finally prove to anyone who dared to think otherwise ... that women are funny!
