Number Crunch: How many women were in Second City's Letters To Santa?

Second City is one of the leading institutions for comedy. We love their programs, their stages, and their commitment to diversity and gender parity by casting half men and half women in their main stage and e.t.c. theaters. As far as Women In Comedy are concerned, we believe they show an ongoing effort to increase women's voices and presence at their institution.

So, how did they stack up when it comes to their recent Letters To Santa fundraiser for disadvantaged Chicago Families? See the info graphics and the accompanied list of performers. This breakdown does not include any of the musical performers/acts nor does it include any un-announced performers/appearances. What do you think?
