"Well I rarely find them funny anyway. Not (deliberately) trying to be sexist (although I guess I probably am) - am I right or am I wrong? First person to say 'Sarah Millican (or Miranda) is hilarious' gets a slap ![]() Women should stick to using their mouths for blowjobs . Any other use is just pointless | |||

"Some are hilarious, its just that there are a lot less female stand ups, and they don't get as well known. To make things fairer in the 'generalising post of the day', there are very few male stand ups I find funny as well." That's probably true. I'm thinking of the mainstream ones on tv etc | |||

"Amy Schumer. ![]() ![]() While sometimes funny, she's recently been busted for plagiarising other people's work, in some cases word for word except swapping character names. When asked about it she claimed not to be responsible for where her writing team gets inspiration from. | |||

Male and female comics. And there are some excellent female comics out there." Ah I've only heard of Christie, Calman and Suttie from those (and only from the 6.30om comedy slot on Radio 4 on the drive home) and, sorry, they fail to raise a smile here .. I must have a peculiar sense of humour. I used to find Emo Phillips hilarious and again nobody else I knew ever did ![]() | |||

"I like the ventriloquist girl that gets people up on the stage and puts the big comedy mouths on them and speaks for them. Cant for the life of me think what her name is but I I funny as fuck" I must admit she IS funny but those audience members are clearly plants - watch their body language - they play along and know the jokes before they come! But yeah, I'll add her to the funny list! ![]() ![]() | |||

"From a recent study....... "The study, undertaken for the journal Evolutionary Psychology, set up 50 unlucky couples, previously unknown to each other, on blind dates and videoed them having a 10 minute conversation using prompts. Afterwards, they were asked to rate their “dating interest” in the other person and researchers re_iewed the videos, looking for humour and the response. The study found both men and women made similar amounts of attempts to be funny, but women laughed a lot more in response to men being humorous than men did in return. As well as this, the more a woman laughed at her partner, the higher the dating interest was, whereas with men, there was no such correlation." Apparently men _iew comedy as their domain and like to have women appreciate their humour and not be competition ![]() I think it's true to say that lots of men don't like women to be funny, they find it threatening. I'm not suggesting that's the case with the op. | |||

"I know a lot of very funny women, but it seems fewer translate that to mainstream comedy success. I don't think it's that women are inherently less funny - some of my friends are absolutely hilarious - but maybe there's something about the industry and the way comedians "make it" that deters them. " Likewise, I know friends and colleagues that make me laugh so hard I cry, and I always think they're so much funnier than the 'commercial / mainstream' comedians. You might be right ![]() | |||

It's threatening to them. Lots of very unfunny male comics coasting along on the same tired ,stale material. That guy with the very obtuse teeth from Liverpool, as nice as him seems as a person: he's the most benign , boring "comic" . that MacIntyre guy.. They're both dull as dish water . humour is subjective though. One person's funny and all of that. | |||

"I think you'll find female comedians are ALWAYS funny, because otherwise they wouldn't last long in the job. So far from being controversial, the statement is simply fucking stupid." Yeah, to the people who find them funny. Obviously some people don't like many as is evident on this thread. | |||

"Dan - the point you make..... is it bias as there are thoughts women should be more ladylike .... Is that buried in there ? I think there are more "bad" male comedians out there than women comedians in total ..... Can you relate to what female comedians say ???? Is it the content - the material as well ??? It's been hard for women to break into comedy - I think for sone people - women are not supposed to be funny ..... Maybe men are naturally funny as they do silly things more often and we get to laugh X Mwah " There's no hidden agenda SSSassy, nothing deep about the content, just based on what I've heard and seen on both tv and radio. Just whether I laugh or not. For the record there's LOADS of male comedians I don't find funny too .. But the handful of comedians I do like tend to be male. There was a series of programmes on radio 4 recently from upcoming 'sketch groups' mainly men and I didn't find any of them remotely funny either. And they also did the best of the Edinburgh fringe - again a mix of men and women - and I didn't find any of them funny too. So it's not limited to just female comedians, I only posed it as a question as I knew it would start a good debate with diverse _iews! ![]() | |||

"I think you'll find female comedians are ALWAYS funny, because otherwise they wouldn't last long in the job. So far from being controversial, the statement is simply fucking stupid. Well I've not found one I've found funny All because they are popular and in a job that don't mean everybody has to like them ![]() ![]() Point is they're funny to SOMEONE or they wouldn't be comedians in the first place. Saying "I rarely find female comedians funny" would be a controversial expression of opinion yes. However, saying "Female comedians are rarely funny" is essentially a contradiction in terms, and therefore fucking stupid as previously indicated. Not to mention a bit trollish and contrarian. And no i bloody well won't ![]() | |||

"See, I'm not deliberately being obtuse here but what I can see above is a list of people (when I recognise them) that I don't find particularly funny. But then it's just as well everyone has a different sense of humour as I find Milton Jones hilarious and nobody else I know does. So horses for courses and all that ![]() Milton Jones is comedy genius. I only have to look at him and I laugh! Anyway, female comedians - Shappi Korsandi (sp?) Is funny imo. | |||

"Bridget Christie Susan Calman Sara Pascoe Josie Long Zoe Lyons Lucy Beaumont Angela Barnes Kerry Godliman Issy Suttie Kristin Schaal ...for starters off the top of my head. I like comedy. Male and female comics. And there are some excellent female comics out there." In addition to this list: Pesha Lilly Sally-Anne Hayward Stephanie Lang Theresa Farlow (on a good day) Jeanette Bird-Bradley in about three or four more years Adele Cliff - excellent one liner expert Athena Kublenu Pippa Evans - she's excellent and has some great songs Rivka Uttley - brilliant and should become a big name if there is any justice Lindsey Carrol - bit alternative, but still skilled Bethany Black on a good day Dotty Winters Laura Lexx Erika Benning Harriet Dyer Lucy Thompson Jo D'Arcy Robyn Perkins - an American who is over here and doesn't make being American the be all and end all of her act Jo Duncan I've seen all of these and they are all decent. Some will make it, some won't but all can make a room laugh. | |||
