You're just dead inside. What female stand up do you prefer?

Women just aren't generally funny. Silverman has moments but she is too acidic.

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

Well listen to more Bamford. Her absurdist style takes time but she's a really sharp writer and her timing is spot on. Her subtle contempt for people via her impressions is my fav part of her routines, she just nails it

Tig Notaro is also damn good

Not a big fan but Natasha Leggero is brutal. Her roast of Bieber was awesome

Ellen's last HBO special is pretty good

 

[Baroque]

Kristen wiig is probably my favorite female comedian, but I don't think she does stand up

I thought her Live at Bimbo's special was hilarious. The bit about the shows on TLC killed me.

Leggero isn't super funny but her delivery is much better. Petition to end all petitions.

 

[Draehl]

hah

Moved all the comedienne posts out of the M&F thread to this new one. Carry on!

I saw Marina Franklin live once and she was hilarious. The notion that women can't be funny is stupid.

 

[Dak]

Generally aren't =/= can't.

That's not the notion, the notion is that women have generally never needed to develop a talent for comedy like men have.

Women can still be funny.

Check out Maria Bamford. Best female comedian all time.

Maria Bamford is just downright amazing. That last special she did in front of her parents is one of the greatest stand-up sets I've ever seen. No hyperbole.

Props for mentioning Tig Notaro, too. Not enough people I know listen to her.

Also yet another voice saying that you're being stupid by not seeking out anything and everything Norm MacDonald does.

Amy Schumer is a babe, and probably one of the funniest female comedians.

Her show is much better than her standup

 

[The Ozzman]

Probably because she has people who can write better than she can

 

[CiG]

Exactly, haha.

I actually quite like Kathleen Madigan.

Louis CK's new special I think has finally turned me off on watching anything from him any more..3 or 4 straight bad ones

He became a fame whore liberal cuck. Really no surprise, he always showed tendencies; guilt, shame etc
