Is there such a thing as a funny female comedian?

xw2lj9uspm1eyh · 30-12-2009 04:44PM #1

I was watching mock the week last night and Jo Brand was on it a so called comedian.Her jokes involved been old,going through the menopause and been fat needless to say they needed to use the laughtrack for her.It got me thinking that i can't think of a funny female comedian i can name 5 some what funny male comedians.

1.Johnny Vegas
2.Peter Kay
3.Neil Delamere
4.Alan Carr
5.Michael Mcintyre

then the females i can think of
1.Jo Brand (explained already what I think of her)
2.Deirdre O'Kane(best thing she ever done was when she was in that rte drama and was riding ya man while beating the **** outta him
3.Katherine Lynch(Wonderwoman wonder how the **** she got a show)

So can anyone tell me of a funny female comedian please or do you think there's no such thing as one.

Yes, but she hasn't appeared on After Hours for a while now.

I cant think of any funny ones off the top of my head. Same as female DJ's. Cant stand them.

The question should be "Did Deirdre o'kane in Intermission give you a raging horn?".

Johnny Vegas No.1 on your list for funny comedians ?:eek:

mike rolite · 30-12-2009 05:10PM

Maeve Higgins is hilarious. Completely wacky in a good way.

Victoria Wood used to be hilarious.

Her special on BBC this Christmas was shit though. Sue Perkins has made me laugh a few times

questionmark? · 30-12-2009 05:17PM

Cant think of any off the top of my head! All there jokes seem to be the exact same, s*x, men, children and and been fat. Maybe its a confidence issue with female comedians that they dont think people will go to see them if they try jokes that break the norm of their female counterparts?!?!

johnny vegas is a comedian

Well to be fair she pretty much retired from doing comedy -Wanting to spend more time with her family etc.

Dinnerladies was one of the funniest british comedies ever in my opinion which she wrote.

Other than victoria wood er.. Whoopi Goldberg?

Whereas Johnny Vegas's jokes all revolve around him being drunk and fat, Peter Kay's around his various family members being uncomfortable around new things, or acting in an embarrassing manner at a public event, while Alan Carrs all about being ridiculously camp or delivering stories in a really, really annoying camp way. They're just as funny as Jo Brand tbh.

Definitely the best female around IMO

And I think Ellen DeGeneres is alright too

She's hit and miss, can be very funny or dire.
She played at a show here in Brum last week or the week before, "Rock With Laughter" - a family show. Used the word 'cunt' didn't go down too well.

Being shocking/rude for laughs is just lazy IMO.

I'm still trying to think of funny ones.

Jo Enright's very good

EDIT: And Ellen Degeneres, forgot about her. Though she was better before she came out, afterwards a lot of her stuff was purely about being a lesbian

phasers · 30-12-2009 05:29PM

Shappi Khorsandi bores me, I saw one of her shows and all she talked about is race/terrorism...

Is there such a thing as a funny female comedian?
