jambojackbilly Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Flicked on to that Miranda guff on Beeb right now, dreadful stuff Thinking of a funny female, not many if any I know they have had to wait for their chance as the males led the way, but i think its about time we seen one or give a guy who's funny a chance Laughed at Joan Rivers once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I then quickly try to think of something / anything else, just as long as its not Jo Brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I've found Shappi Khorsandi mildly entertaining in the past but she's often quick to play the race joke which just puts me right off. Quite tidy as well. On the whole though, women are generally very unfunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locky Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Was thinking a similar question this morning, when watching Live at the Apollo i've never actually pished maself laughing at a female comedienne.

shaun.lawson Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Oh i'd forgot about those two talents, the latter has her moments the other is nout special but if you enjoy that type of tripe fair enough Couple of things on this. Wood's humour is dated now, but was very funny at the time. Porter is great, and filthily funny at times. Your thread begs an interesting question though: are men in general just naturally funnier than women? I dunno about you, but off hand, there are only a couple of women I know who I'd class as very funny people; and they stand out because they're unusual. Mind you, we're looking at this from a male perspective - and what appeals to us in terms of comedy might not appeal to women to the same extent...

Johanes de Silentio Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 See, Shaun - this is not a thread about pretty girls that we'd like to beef - it's about females that make you laugh - laughing at their jokes to get into their knickers, whilst admirable, does not count! In addition, I doubt very much whether: a - the lovely Lucy reads this particular message board; and b: she'd be the slightest bit interested!

Cat Stevens Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Sarah Millican is quite good. She was the Geordie lass on Live at The Apollo the other night. The girl who plays Dobby in Peep Show is also a stand-up and she's pretty good too. Her name escapes me though. Lucy Porter has her moments but I only tolerate her coz she has a tremendous rack. Jo Brand and Gina Yashere are as funny as cancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homme Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Used to think Sarah Silverman was ok, but not so much now. How disappointing is it when you turn on Have I Got News For You or Mock The Week and there are one (or even two) female panelists on it? Very!

scott_jambo Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Shappy and Sarah Millican are quite amusing at times. No people i'd pay to see, although I have seen Miillican as aprt of the best of the fest set during the edinburgh festival.
