    Do you agree or disagree?

    I completely disagree. I'm a woman and I'm hilarious.

    You'll have to do better for that statement to be in anyway true.

    Well with the exception of that show Miranda, all h......

    Actually, her show was shıte tbh.

    Lilly savage is funny enough, and Dame Edna had some cracking one liners.

    I don't find female comedians funny ever but i think the average girl on the street is funnier than the average lad so many lads are way too serious

    Are you funny or just funny looking. Sometimes women get that mixed up

    Can't think of a single female comedienne who is consistently funny.

    Many comediennes are not funny. Some, however, are hilarious - French and Saunders, and Victoria Wood for a start.

    No, no, no and I'll let you have Tina fey. Sarah mc millan is also funny but they are a rarity. Exception to the rule.

    Women in general can be funny, no different than men. Female comedians are terribad however. All they ever talk about are vaginas. You're female, pushing the boundaries, blah blah. We ****ing get it already.

    Why do some people see an unfunny woman on a stage or in a show and say "See? Women aren't funny!" whereas an unfunny man just gets. "That guy isn't funny!"

    To be honest I think anyone who says "X just aren't funny." where X is a huge swathe of people defined by race, gender, religion or whatever is just a bit dim.

    If you can't think of any good female comedians, you probably aren't watching a lot of comedy (beyond the usual panel shows and Live at the Apollo).

    Why would you or anyone presume that all people of the same gender are similar in this or in any regard?

    All female comedians are brilliant compared to Jim Davidson.

    Really? I sometimes feel like she's only ever recorded 5 TV appearances and they're shown over and over again.

    Well, that's just, like, your opinion man. I, and others, happen to think that F&S etc are funny. That is because humour is subjective. For example, I would rather drive a spike through my hand than watch Sarah Millican do stand up.

    I don't know many female comedians but yeah, women in real life can be as funny or as unfunny as men. I know a **** load.

    Nobody, male or female, is funny at every single moment.
    Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders - and Joanna Lumley, in character - are among the smartest and most professional comedians of either sex.

    But perhaps the OP didn't mean "funny" as in, comedy on stage? Maybe they meant, just not an amusing topic?
    That I'll grant. Men are much funnier, with their little dangly undercarriage - and the poor sad socks.

    :-)

    Smiling already. Men are funny!
