I'm a big believer in change - as in growth. I have a firm commitment to resisting complacency, to constantly stay fresh, thoughtful, always open to something different. My husband and I are in our mid-fifties. Most of the people we know our age are still working...some have had to begin new careers at
Older Female Comedians There are some really funny older female comedians, writers and comedic actresses out there right now. Unlike their trailblazing and priceless "foremothers", Lucille Ball and Phyllis Diller, these post fifty female comedians don't necessarily require props like red wigs, curlers or cigarette holders.
