"At the risk of not appearing to be pc,and all that 'shit '..is it just me that finds it hard to find a female 'celebrity ' that's genuinely funny. As for that Lucy Jones,just being a female and having a disability doesn't make her funny,for me it says 'look at me I've a disability and I'm wonderful, and don't disagree other wise you won't be popular. '" Do you mean Rosie Jones? She's as funny as toothache. | |||

"I really don't get the hype with Sarah Millican never found her all that funny 🫣" ,maybe it's because she's one of the best of a bad bunch,.as I said before I find it difficult to find a decent standup female comedian that's popular not just because they're female or have a disability...but because they're actually funny. | |||

"There’s plenty of women celebs that I find funny. Tiffany Haddish went on an all time run for a good few years. Issa Rae is another one. I find Awkwafina funny. I grew up watching shows like Ab Fab with my mum and French and Saunders. It’s ok if you just don’t tend to find it relatable or funny. But funny celeb women exist out there. " Awkwafina is very funny in in a geeky awkward way,she has great timing. | |||

" There's plenty of " funny " women to be fair there's not that many great male stand ups these days either. " This is true, there's not many new comedians in general I find particularly funny these days | |||

 .
Joan Rivers was phenomenal, perhaps one of the all time best.
Jenny Eclair had some points when she was very funny but that was her earlier work | |||

"I find very few comedians funny, men or women. Of the ones I do I'd say the split is about even between the two. Although I've never seen a male comedian as funny as Patricia Routledge in the 'Kitty' sketches, written by Victoria Wood." It's weird because I find very few stand-ups funny but seeing comedians riff with each other on panel shows or sketch shows really makes me laugh | |||

Very different skill having a few good lines and banter with others to holding a crowd solo for an hour or so. | |||

It's not just the editing but I suppose panel shows are meant to be a laugh a minute whereas a lot of stand-ups can be more story driven leading to a punchline. It's almost a sort of instant gratification thing  | |||

"All of these are great. None are household names, but all are worth looking up, and even better going to see live. There's a massive amount of talent out there on the circuit. Dawn Bailey, Diane Spencer, Harriet Dyer, Hayley Ellis, Kate Martin, Jenny Hart, Jules O'Brien, Lindsey Santoro, Lou Conran, Maxine Wade, Nina Gilligan, Tal Davies," Nicely done. Not including that Jess Phillips though. She’s funny 🤡 | |||

"Maya Rudolph, Sarah Silverman and Shappi Khorsandi haven't been mentioned yet I don't think. It is weird that women, people of colour and disabled people are always perceived to be token by a large part of the audience. As if it's not possible that they actually deserve the platform because they're talented. It's embarrassing that so many white guys are so fragile that they believe that." Or maybe they just don’t find them funny🤷🏻♂️ | |||

Different skills but no less amusing in my opinion Some comedians are off the cuff funny others need a script. | |||

Never did get the hype around him Nor Michael McUmpire either. | |||

But it would be ridiculous to say that no men are funny. It's equally ridiculous to say no women are funny. Or no disabled people (we're all gender neutral btw, no-one seems bothered by gender when there's some other defect  ) | |||

And it IS weird how those groups are always "anyone except white men", right. | |||

There have been in the past, two of the categories have yielded what I believe to be two of the greatest of all time but sadly they are no longer alive, I dare say in the future there maybe more, but not currently. At no point have I ruled out the potential for finding any of these funny but currently there is no one. I find it silly to suggest that someone is in some way ‘fragile’ because they don’t share another person’s choices. | |||
