I agree. In the slightly different world of stand-up comedy there is an issue with representation of women comedians and I've seen examples of adverts for performers with explicit comments about not wanting more than one female performer in a line of of 6-8 comedians; women comedians being told not to do stuff about women etc. From my experience as a show watcher at juggling events I would love there to be more women in the shows but I seriously doubt that the guff I've mentioned about comedy regularly (or ever) happens (in the UK convention circuit anyway).
