Lisa Ann Walter reflects on the challenges she faced coming up in stand-up, where harassment was common and recourse was nonexistent — and how being a woman in comedy often meant having to shrink yourself to be accepted:

“Comedy is so powerful — being funny is so powerful — that as a woman you had to mitigate your power by making yourself appear ugly or fat or somehow unattractive and undesirable.”

TheWrap’s Women of Comedy: An Emmy Season Showcase is presented in partnership with Comedy Gives Back and sponsored by ABC, appletv, disneyplus, fxnetworks, Max, NBC, PrimeVideo, UniversalTelevisionGroup, WarnerBros TV and 21SEEDS, our spirits partner.
