British Feminist Comedian Wins Award

Congratulations to Bridget Christie, British feminist stand-up comedian, who won the UK's most prestigious comedy award, the Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Award, for her feminist comedy show. This is especially significant because professional stand-up comedy has long been a male-dominated profession. Christie is the third woman ever to win this award.
