Why is there only one funny female comedian in the world?

Nina Conti on Russel Howards Good News - YouTube

She's the least funny comedian I've ever seen and I've been to a lot of gigs.

Joan Rivers is the funniest for me, even at her age now. She cracks me up

Good call.
Ellen Degenerous is sadly awful, and makes my skin crawl. She seems like she would be dislikeable as a person too, for some reason.

As is always the case with these threads, comedy is always such a personal thing.

Female comedians, hmm, quite a few I don't like, but I could say the same about male comedians. Hasn't been around much for a while, but Victoria Wood always makes me laugh.

How many genuine funny women do you know in real life ? I know a couple that have the odd sharp witty reply but mostly women are about what they look like .

This made me chuckle. Probably because there is a lot of truth in it from a male perspective and it is what women are so desperate to get away from.

..to standup that is unfunny - female, old, young, male, black, white, whatever - gets booked for paid / profile work.

..

..mmm I seen quite a few die on their feet.

Worst thing about stand up for the audience ? Go to a club a few weeks later, watch the same comedian do exactly the same act.

 

[clapham_gull]

Most live club material is not suited to the mainstream, male or female.

Again - have to disagree, a lot of "bad" stand ups are simply "lite" versions of other comedians who have broken through. I find Mcintyre unfunny because the seen that "act" countless times by a variety of comedians.

I be careful to fall into the trap of suggesting you are the comedy expert - because you are a comedian. Somewhat undermines your argument that it's all about the audience !

Second worse thing about stand up ? Other comedians in the audience laughing loudly in support when no one else is !

I wish Sarah Millican would just f*** OFF, used to enjoy watching the One Show, but she's just shitting on it.
Her Voice makes me want to hit something and her jokes makes me want to kick something.

f*** OFF.

I agree with everything in this post, bar the notion of the part in bold.

My girlfriend is funny. Very odd indeed.

My girlfriend's a bit timid and trainedly polite, but when she gets bitchy and a bit of the real her comes out she becomes rather funny. Sometimes i have to provoke into mild rage to get her funny bones working. I tend to be able to do that quite easily, so it generally works out.
