Résumé

This article aims to show the role humour plays in the deconstruction of gender identity by some Spanish female comedians. One of the most important roles humour plays would be its social function. In this respect, humour is seen as a subversive tool used for breaking with different normative representations and stereotypes. We start this study off with the conception of gender as a social construct (Butler, 1990) as well as the idea of stand-up comedy as a rhetorical genre in which comedians are the maximum authority. Thus, we will examine a variety of examples where humorous language is used in this type of discourse by the comics so as to challenge the established practices and break the status quo barrier.
