FUNNY WOMEN OF A CERTAIN AGE
“If I had to choose between ageism or sexism, I’d take a pat on the ass any day—at least that meant someone noticed me.”
~ Carole Montgomery, Creator of Funny Women of a Certain Age
What started as Carole Montgomery’s passion project to share the stage with her friends has grown into a groundbreaking comedy movement. A veteran of over 40 years in stand-up, Carole knew all too well that when she began, you’d never see two women on the same comedy lineup—and decades later, not much had changed. So she did something about it.
Funny Women of a Certain Age (WOACA) was born to showcase fierce, hilarious, and unapologetically authentic women over 50—women who paved the way for the comedians you see today. In 2019, WOACA shattered expectations when it became Showtime’s highest-rated stand-up premiere of the year. That first special made history, sparking two more Showtime specials that kept audiences laughing and wanting more.
Now, all three Funny Women of a Certain Age specials have been re-released by Comedy Dynamics, bringing this trailblazing comedy series back to the forefront where it belongs. With a rotating cast of powerhouse performers, WOACA proves that comedy doesn’t have an expiration date—it just gets sharper, bolder, and funnier with age.
These women aren’t just comedians—they’re legends, survivors, and game-changers. And they’ve got a hell of a lot more to say.

A powerhouse performer, writer, producer, and trailblazer, Carole has headlined top comedy clubs, colleges, casinos, and theaters across the country, including a remarkable ten-year run starring in two major Las Vegas production shows—performing for an estimated 5 million audience members.
In 2017, Carole created the groundbreaking live comedy phenomenon Funny Women of a Certain Age, showcasing powerhouse female comedians over 50 who are sharper, bolder, and funnier than ever. The concept became a cultural milestone when Showtime adapted it into a comedy special that became the network’s highest-rated comedy premiere of 2019 and made television history as the first stand-up special featuring six women over 50. Its success sparked two acclaimed follow-ups: More Funny Women of a Certain Age and Even More Funny Women of a Certain Age.
Beyond the spotlight, Carole is an accomplished director and producer, with projects including Jim Florentine’s I’m Your Savior (Amazon Prime), while continuing to develop bold new work for the stage.
