Female comedians

Is it just me or does anyone else think female comedians and females in general are just not funny?

Hello Mr Troll.

Yawn.

That would be 'comedienne' would it not ?

Julia Davis is one of the best comedy writers and performers that the world has ever seen. Get back to your frantic self-abuse, amin.

Definitely, but some people prefer to make 'comedian' and 'actor' gender-neutral terms.

:O A bit sexist that statement isn't it? I've got two word for you: Victoria Wood Angelic

I don't think that those two words are going to convince amin.

They bloody should. The finest female comedian ever.

She's good but I'd have to give top spot to Dame Edna Everage.

Her (limited) recent work is not exactly conducive to that conclusion.

Same. She is brilliant.

Er.

Women can be very funny indeed.

;)

It would make everyone's lives easier if we could all agree that Women just aren't funny.

I'll tell you who is hilarious though... Men who keep bringing up how unfunny women are on this forum. You guys crack me up!
