Mary Harney was fairly funny back in her day. Couldn't stand up to save her life though.

Your one from telly bingo was pretty funny :pac:

Eleanor Tiernan and Maeve Higgins are funny enough,not many to choose from though.

Can't think of many funny (current) Irish male comedians either in fairness.

Higgins I suppose, or Pauline McGlynn.

Ah, bit of a coincidence that isn't it?:)

I saw Maeve Higgins recently - she was very funny. Eleanor Tiernan is good too. I haven't seen much of her material, but Aisling Bea seems quite promising.

Yeah, you'd almost think the person that wrote the ditty knew what night the show was on.

Considering it came out of RTE, it's an achievement of sorts.

Carol Tobin. Hilarious.

I always enjoyed Maureen Potter, I wish they would show some re-runs of her sketches.

Maeve Higgins imo. Usually really funny and has variation in her sets and doesn't just talk about being a woman (fu*king hate that)

swiftman

NONE!

i thought it was ''telly bingo twice a week, telly bingo twice a week...''

Kylo Ren

I had to Google 'Maeve Higgins'.

If that's our best....christ.

FouxDaFaFa

I think Tara Flynn is very good at satire and comedy songs.

Saw Eleanor Tiernan supporting Reginald D Hunter and thought she was good. Witty, pretty original, does good satire too.

Carol Tobin is up there too.

Crooked Jack

Niamh marron. utterly fantastic. She's not a huge fan of female comedians herself.

So name someone better then!

Tara Flynn's material is the only stuff I've ever found funny from any female Irish comedian.

rednik

Linda Martin, always good for a laugh.

Skid X

Maeve Higgins is good, I would be struggling after that.

Sharon Horgan is a very good comic actor and writer, if she counts?

Duckworth_Luas

Well Gina Yashere is female, Irish and funny!


Actually she's not, she's just $h1t

I thought nobody could hear you above the shouts of "Maeve Higgins is so lol I thought I'd piss myself". Wtf is wrong with us if Maeve Higgins is the best we can come up with?? She's a load of crap compared to Tara. She's a load of crap compared to a load of crap.

Another vote for Tara Flynn. Saw Rosaleen Linehan (the mother of Graham Linehan) on stage a few years ago, she was fantastic.

They aren't related. Although she was funny.

Sorry, just to be clear, I’m not saying that Rosaleen Linehan is not well known in Ireland, I’m saying that she’s not my mother.

She grew up in Britain, has she ever even been over here?

I hope so, because she's the funniest female Irish comedian that I can think of!

Deirdre OKane, apart from being Ireland's funniest woman is also very very good looking, therefore she wins.

Doing a google image search of Twink is pretty funny.

You should all be ashamed of yourself. She's about as funny as a corpse in a clown suit..

I like Deirdre O'Kane as well, and I think she's great in Moone Boy. She was hilarious in Fergus' Wedding.

Don't really get Tara Flynn. Maeve Higgins can be ok at times. I'd like to see Aisling Bea at some stage, she seems good.

I know Amy Huberman isn't a comedienne but she's a very good comic actress and some of her tweets are quite funny. Plus she seems like one of the nicest and prettiest girls in the world. The bitch. :pac:
