Funny Women of a Certain Age was created to give older women comics a chance to be seen and be heard. Frustrated by how women are portrayed in show business once they hit the age of 50, Montgomery, a stand-up comedy veteran with more than 40 years of experience, decided to do something about it. She had the idea to create a show that would travel to different cities and showcase a rotating cast of older female comedians.
That idea became a Showtime special that made history and broke ratings records; it was Showtime’s highest rated premiere of a stand-up show in 2019. Two more specials followed and now the show tours nationally. These are the women who paved the way for the female comedians you see performing today.
