Female comics

I just want to point out: Amy Schumer steals jokes from other, funnier comedians and is still awful. That’s like copying off the smartest kid in class and still getting an F. That’s actually impressive. It takes some serious talent to be as thoroughly terrible as Amy Schumer.

Not only is she untalented, she's also a hypocrite. I Feel Pretty is the worst film of 2018. Her acting is not just amateurish, it's downright awful. Every time she opened her mouth it was like she was speaking the words of God, her dialogue was so bad it ground every scene she was in to a halt. She's a cure for insomnia.

Take your pick among these brown billet logs.

 
I think Sarah Silverman is a really good comic - as well as a good comedic actress. I've liked her ever since the "Garry Shandling Show". If you saw her bit in the "Aristocrats" - it was so uncomfortably low key and horrific that some people thought she wasn't joking - even the subject matter of the joke (Joe Franklin) considered suing her. Great acting... LOL! (and since it pre-dated @metoo by a decade - it's likely a comedy bit that will never be repeated).

More from The Aristocrats - here's another female comic, Wendy Liebman, who turned the concept around on its head, probably the best version in the film:

I agree 100%. I've never been able to understand how she became famous. Can't stand her.
 
When I saw the title of this thread I thought it was about comics like Wonder Woman and Josie and the Pussycats.
 
When Joan Rivers got roasted, she let it be known that her daughter was out of bounds. Kathy Griffin roasted Melissa anyway.

 
Shopper's Drug Mart was one of my customers when I had my livery service. They brought Bea Arthur to Toronto, to get her to do promotions for them, they wined and dined her. I nearly drove off the road from laughter, funniest drunk I've ever heard in my life!

 
Wanda Sykes always slays me...
 
Not a comic, but needs to be included. Had no idea who this girl was until Hot Ones.

Unbelievably gorgeous face, respected for taking the challenge.

 
As far as female comedians go, I'm a fan of Kathleen Maddigan

She is hilarious.

I saw Kathleen Madigan and Lewis Black's 49th Parallel Tour Sept. 2017 at Massey Hall. What a great combo. They're both seriously f*cking hilarious, but as this is a female comic thread, she gets my vote for #1.

As Isaiah Whitlock famously said, "Sheeeeeiiiiit, where's the clip".
