    Mary,(Mammy), O'Rourke. She thinks she is being serious but she really cracks me up!

    Well Gina Yashere is female, Irish and funny!


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

    If I could thank that multiple times I would.
    Nail on the head, except you missed the random shouting parts!

    Agree.

    To be honest, I have never seen a funny female comedian perform. I know plenty of funny women, but they aren't comedians, they have real jobs. :p

    Linda Martin "singing" "Up All Night To Get Lucky" on live TV a couple of weeks ago...

    Had the misfortune to witness it at the time...something stopped me from changing channels. One of those cringe moments, didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

    Warning: if watching it on Youtube, keep fingers close to your face...you'll need to look through them if watching the full three minutes!

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


    Check out Bad sugar on 4oD. Sharon Horgan, Julia Davis and Olivia Coleman in a Dynasty type comedy. Very funny and Sharon Horgan is very good in it.

    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.

    I am mad to see carol tobin...does she even do gigs? always looking out for her but i only see her in the media..

    Maeve Higgins is about as funny as a bag of rashers.

    she did a great job supporting Rob Delaney, the bar of vicar st was empty during her set, seemed like an early full house.

    I've only seen her supporting Neil Hamburger, which wouldn't have been the biggest gig in the world.

    in fairness if the gig was attended mainly by casual comedy goers she may have stolen the show!!

    Absolutely love Deirdre O'Kane and Maeve Higgins, and the girl from Irish Pictorial Weekly.

    I'm not sure if this is a usual Irish-bashing AH thread or a usual woman-bashing AH thread but I can't get on board with either.

    Yes, that's it of course!

    Nothing to do with a person's opinion on comediennes, Irish or otherwise. It must be a classic AH style Irish women bashing! Nothing else.
