Funny Girl
Broadway Brice biography
Funny Girl is a 1964 Broadway musical and 1968 film about the life of comedian Fanny Brice, famous for launching Barbra Streisand's career.
The title has become shorthand for a woman who uses humor as her defining trait, sometimes with an edge of self-deprecation: She's always been the funny girl, never the pretty one.
