ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the way women comedians use Twitter. This includes the way Sarah Silverman and Leslie Jones have both departed from traditional, collaborative reputation-building strategies on the platform. Instead, Silverman and Jones have confronted and capitalized on anti-fandom. Between them, they have tactfully antagonized and befriended trolls, mobilized other users and generated substantial media coverage, ultimately remaking their critical reputations in the entertainment press.
