At stand-up comedy, not so much...

However, in terms of writing and acting - particularly in the states - women are equal if not superior. Amy Poehler is probably the best person alive right now. Love Tina Fey, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Lena Dunham (&all of 'Girls'), Aubrey Plaza, Jo Brand, Kerry Godliman, Joanna Scanlan, Tamsin Grieg...

Oh, and Jenna Maroney is the best character on TV right now.

Not as funny as men, but there is the odd rarity, Caroline Aherne is a comedy genius, Miranda Richardson as Queenie in Blackadder was funny, i'm struggling after that.

i could never like anything with Julia Louis-Dreyfus. yea and that includes Seinfeld lol.

i like 30 Rock but im glad its ending after this season. its been rough for me to get through these last 2-3 seasons cause the character of Tracy & Jenna are f'ing retarded imo. its just dumb. the main reason i watch this show is Tina Fey & Alec Baldwin. even though their characters get involved with those two annoying douchers from time to time it makes it a lot easier to get through it.

I'd never seen anything of JLD's until Veep, which she's excellent in.

And Tracy and Jenna are brilliant. They're meant to be obnoxious, stupid and vapid. It's fun. I find it interesting that Tracy Morgan's had a few problems off-stage, though, with offending people... some infamous thing about saying he'd disown his son were he to come out as gay, during a stand-up routine. Weird.

Kenneth, however, may challenge Jenna for the best character title

i gave Veep a chance but just wasnt feeling it.

i know what they're meant to be like. i just got tired of it after awhile. just dont find it all that funny anymore. same goes for Kenneth.

Ellen


wanda sykes


sarah silverman



90s comedians, were a lot funnier though.
And personally, I know some extremely funny girls. Not as many as guys, but thats because I have more guy friends naturally.

Yes, there are less female comedians than male, I do love sarah millican though. In real life women are hilarious

I don't find female comedians funny, but a few of my female friends are. More by just being silly/idiots than making jokes.

I agree with what Shaun said, men tend to be better at Stand Up and women hold their own at the TV/Film aspects.
