Reclaiming the Female Body and Self-Deprecation in Stand-Up Comedy
Positives and negatives: reclaiming the female body and self-deprecation in stand-up comedy TOMSETT, Eleanor <http://orcid.org/0000-0003-1645-9556> Available from Sheffield Hallam University Research Archive (SHURA) at: http://shura.shu.ac.uk/18629/ This document is the author deposited version.

Copyright and re-use policy See http://shura.shu.ac.uk/information.html Sheffield Hallam University Research Archive http://shura.shu.ac.uk Ellie Tomsett Department of Stage and Screen, Sheffield Hallam University, Sheffield, UK. Positives and negatives: Reclaiming the female body and self-deprecation in stand-up comedy. Abstract Drawing on existing research into feminist humour, this article argues that many of the functions of self-deprecation within comic performance that have been identified and explored in relation to the American context of the late 90s and early 2000s are still evident on the current UK circuit. Self-deprecation in stand-up comedy by women continues to be understood as both positive (as part of the rise of popular feminisms) and negative (as reinforcing patriarchal norms). These contradictory understandings of self-deprecation in stand-up comedy are always inextricably linked to the identities of the audiences for such humour. I consider how emergent female stand-up performers may rationalise and understand the role self-deprecation plays within their own work in the current British context.

DICK WHITTINGTON Written by Jude Christian and Cariad Lloyd Directed by Jude Christian A Lyric Hammersmith production Saturday 17 November 2018 – Sunday 06 January 2019 Press Performance: Saturday 24 November 2018 The Lyric Hammersmith today announces the full cast for Dick Whittington, its 10th anniversary pantomime, which will be getting the full Lyric treatment. You can expect the usual mix of live music, crazy characters, awesome adventure, singing, dancing, villainous baddies and heroic goodies with a little bit of feline flavour chucked in for good measure. The Lyric pantomime began its life in 2009 with Jack and the Beanstalk as part of Sean’s first season as Artistic Director. With its very first panto, written by Richard Bean, Morgan Lloyd Malcolm, Joel Horwood, Ché Walker and directed by Steve Marmion, with Stephen Fry as the voice of the giant - the Lyric firmly put Hammersmith on the London panto map with flying carpets, singing cows and dancing rats. Mel Giedroyc, Vikki Stone and Stevie Webb have all joined the Lyric’s pantomime over the years to sing ‘Glory Glory Hammersmith’. The pantomime has launched many new careers through the Panto Ensemble, a group of young performers given training and the experience of taking to the stage to perform, many in their first paid professional roles.
