She’s Funny That Way Day is celebrated annually on March 31 to honor women in comedy and appreciate their contributions to laughter and entertainment. This day encourages recognition of female comedians who have historically been sidelined in the comedy field, challenging the stereotype that "women aren’t funny." The celebration serves as a reminder of the struggles women have faced in breaking into comedy, often due to gatekeeping by men. Events typically include sharing favorite comedic performances by women and expressing support for female comedians. The day was initiated by writer Brenda Meridith, who authored the novel "She’s Funny That Way." It highlights the importance of acknowledging the ongoing fight against prejudice in the comedy industry while enjoying the humor that women bring to it.
