If you think stand-up is only for younger people, Carole Montgomery has a show for you.

Although it brings in adults of all ages, and men and women, “Funny Women of a Certain Age” features comics that prove funny does not end at 40.

Carole Montgomery, Tammy Pescatelli, Missy Hall and Liz Glazer headline “Funny Women of a Certain Age,” 7:30 p.m. April 25, State Theatre Center for the Arts, Easton.

Montgomery says she “had a blast” last year at the State Theatre. Montgomery and three women, other than those who appeared last year, bring the show to the State Theatre for a second time. “Funny Women” was presented at Sellersville Theater in 2013 and 2011.

In a phone interview from her home in New York City, Montgomery speaks enthusiastically about this year’s “Funny Women” in her unmistakable Brooklyn accent:

“They are seasoned professionals who are really good at what they do. They are all different. There is something for everybody. If you don’t like me, you will like the next person.”

Montgomery always appears first in the show, explaining the format for five minutes or so before she begins her set. “These are all women who have been in the game for a long time,” she says. “I don’t even have to be on the show. I could leave.”

Actually, it would not be nearly as good without her.

Montgomery began doing stand-up in 1979:

“In the beginning, there were only a few clubs in New York City, the Improvisation, Catch a Rising Star and the Comic Strip, and a few in other cities. There were maybe a hundred comics. Now there are about a hundred thousand.”

She says perhaps one out of every 10 were women, whereas today it is nearly 50 percent. But even now, some have to deal with the old adage that women aren’t funny.

Montgomery uses a rotating cast of about 100 women who are over the age of 50. There are more if she expands it to those over the age of 40, an age when she says women can become “invisible.”

After she developed the show and it was presented in a number of venues, including a six-year run at Kraine Theater, New York City, it was picked up by the Showtime channel in 2019. The special was the highest-rated premiere stand-up show for the network that year. It was followed by “More” and “Even More Women of a Certain Age” specials.

Usually about one-third of the audience are in their 20s and 30s, and there are always a number of men. Any adult should feel at home. “We play with the audience, but people don’t have to worry if they sit in the front row. We won’t allow making people uncomfortable.”

Being of a certain age, Montgomery now prefers doing earlier shows (7:30 p.m. is early when you come from a comedy tradition of midnight shows.) She also likes doing theaters more than clubs.

“People are there to see the show. You don’t have to deal with last call, people leaning over to order drinks, the sound of blenders, and people yelling out, ‘Who got the mozzarella?’”

Although not much is off-limits, you are unlikely to hear anything about politics:

“Everyone is uneasy right now, no matter where you stand politically.

“It may sound like a cliché, but all I care about is people having a good time and having some fun.

“It is like a watching a movie. You can tune everything out but the show. You can just sit and laugh.”
