Default Women Comedians

Well since i'm racist, sectarian and homophobic, I may as well add sexist to my bow.

I cannot stand women standup comedians etc. I actually find it embarrassing to watch as its so bad and cringeworthy. Watching a woman do a comedy act is as vulgar to me as hearing one fart and acting the lad about it.

Jo Brand is an exception to the rule, she's generally quite good although me thinks she is just John Sergeant in a frock!

Because in general, they don't know how to relax and just laugh at the world. They take things too seriously, especially us men, and spend a lifetime practising being moaning miserable biatches.

There have been some very good ones, the thought of any kind of physical contact with Jo Brand makes me feel ill!

Funny women are few and far between I reckon, they usually get jokes but cant seem to make them, shame as its a very attractive trait, ok, Jo Brand is a minger of the highest order but I would much rather spend an evening in her company than Jordan or some other pointless bint like that.

There are a few funny women, who arent/werent total Swamp Donkey's,

Caroline Aherne
Arrabella Wier
Jan Ravens
Ronni Ancona
Sarah Silverman
Catherine Tate
Jennifer Saunders


However, being funny isnt always a guarantee that they are in person.

Do you ever think though, why arent women generally funny, is it because they have to spend all their time worrying about blokes and kids ?

Jane Lynch is the only woman comedian/actress I find genuinely funny.

I'd say the opposite, I don't think many male comics are that funny either, but I do like people like Chris Rock, however I think he is funny for all the wrong reasons.

Men just don't 'get' female comics because they don't understand half of the sarcasm and hidden meanings and the between the line humor.

The same goes for women, they just don't appreciate hearing for the 1000th time how my missus only puts out if bla bla and other sexist remarks that are just a pointless waste of time to watch.

I went to see Jimmy Carr not so long ago, and as much as he was a little funny, I spent more time tutting, feeling slightly uncomfortable and a little ashamed at the fact that myself and others found even some of his jokes funny.
I felt similar when I went to see Chubby Brown.

When it comes to females, I hate all the ones that moan about men and get all feminist soapbox about things, but I don't mind people like Jenifer Saunders and Dawn French, or a bit of Little Miss Jocelynne.

I feel that comedy is a very grey area, and that personal taste is a big reflection on what people think and like about different comics.


Personally I can take most of it, and have a chuckle, I am far from a prude, but I think some men tend to dance on that invisible line where and go a bit OTT, and people like Jimmy Carr regularly overstep it.

Good female comedians are rarer than hen's teeth. Jo Brand makes me laugh, yet when she first started out I couldn't stand her! she's definitely got better with age.

Most of them just bleat on about 'wimmin's stuff' and knocking men, but it's not funny.......just dull, dull, dull........and lazy.

Oh, and I like Jennifer Saunders.

I agree there are a lot of unfunny women comedians but then again there are a lot of unfunny male ones too.

Joan Rivers usually makes me laugh

I like Sarah Millican - from up your way Lee

She is a bit like a Viz character!
