KAREN WILLIAMS: I HAD TO LAUGH, a documentary by Andrea Meyerson
UPCOMING SCREENINGS
Synopsis
Karen Williams burst onto the San Francisco Bay Area comedy circuit in the early 1980s. As the country’s first openly lesbian Black comic to use specifically lesbian material, Karen’s humor was unlike any other. A feminist and LGBTQ+ rights activist, Williams became known for her quick repartee and insightful commentary. But while her popularity as a performer grew, off-stage she was a single mom, struggling to raise her children. In 1988, Karen founded the HaHA Institute, dedicated to helping others find healing through humor.
Award-winning director Andrea Meyerson brings Karen Williams' story to the screen, covering her hard-fought battle to break into male-dominated comedy clubs and the joy that has guided her through it all. Rarely-seen vintage performance footage woven together with interviews from family members and industry colleagues—including Kate Clinton, Marga Gomez, and Diane Amos, as well as Karen herself—reveal the life of this amazingly creative and prolific woman.
Running Time: 72 minutes

All screenings will offer a Q&A with Karen and filmmaker Andrea Meyerson.

Happy Women's Week!

Film Synopsis
The year was 1984. A handful of entrepreneurial women innkeepers in Provincetown, Massachusetts gathered together to figure out how to entice summer guests back during the seaside town’s offseason. Without the luxury of social media, or email, the women hand-wrote letters to all their past guests, inviting them to come enjoy the beautiful autumn scenery—with a clambake and local entertainment thrown in. They called it “Women’s Weekend,” and over the next three decades, it grew into a full week of activities, spawned numerous other lesbian gatherings in Provincetown, and expanded into one of the most popular lesbian events in the world.
