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

    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.

    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.

    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)

    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.

    Saying that Maeve Higgings is our best female comedian is an insult to our female comedians

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