The Showtime Special That Changed Comedy for Women Over 50

by | Dec 31, 2025 | Living Ageless and Bold, Podcast

Carole Montgomery is a veteran stand-up comedian with over 40 years in comedy and the creator and host of Funny Women of a Certain Age, the record-breaking Showtime stand-up special that became the network’s highest-rated comedy event. She is a trailblazer fighting ageism and sexism in entertainment by spotlighting powerful, funny women over 50.

 

In this episode, Carole sits down with Christina to discuss her journey into stand-up comedy, breaking into a male-dominated industry, creating Funny Women of a Certain Age, and why women over 50 are finally getting the spotlight they deserve. Carole shares stories from her early comedy days, her inspirations, how the Showtime special came together, and why confidence, freedom, and imperfection are the real superpowers of aging.
