@DrGoddess submitted this idea for SXSW Film.

Nevertheless, Black Women have been and continue to make all kinds of funny (Viva Wanda Sykes!). This panel, “Sistas Who Keep You in Stitches: Black Women’s Comedy Onstage, Onscreen and Online” will not only introduce you to Sistas who keep you doubled over and slapping your thighs, we will dissect what it means to work in the film, television, theatre and blogging industries and why it’s so important to create your own, especially since the advent of the internet has removed the gatekeepers. From the stars of “Living Single” (Kim Coles) to “The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl” (Issa Rae) to “Dr. Goddess!: A One Woman Show” and her creation of @BaracksFlagpin, to LGBT supreme humorist and standup comic, Gloria Bigelow, to Awesomely Luvvie’s humor blog and “Dumbest Tweets”, we will discuss strategy, content, distribution and real life examples of sharing our lived, hilarious experiences onstage in film, television, standup, theater and online with Blogs, Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr and more!
