linkSo, is it just a boys club, or is that there are not as many funny women?

Very few women comedians I find funny. Sarah Millican is as funny as someone chucking a brick through your window.

What a load of bollocks. That Iranian used to be funny but then she got divorced and very, very bitter and it was just dull "I hate men" shit. Nina Conti can be amusing and has great legs!  |

Someone better point out there isn't enough black comedy show panellists either, and amongst the hosts the most diverse it seems to get there is Irish with Dara on Mock the Week.

they just tend to have one routine where they change the words slightly to give it the appearance of being new material: Jo Brand - i'm fat, my husband is lazy Sarah Millican - i like cake Miranda Hart - i'm a giant and can be mistaken for a man Gina Yashere - my mother is Nigerian agree with Bayern about Nina Conti (i also think she's very good as well as having nice pins though ) also agree with jonah about Philomena Clunk (Diane Morgan) and whilst i wouldn't really class Victoria Coren as a comedian i agree that they can put her on telly as much as they damn well want...damn good poker player too!!!! plenty of good comic actresses out there (Ruth Jones, Julia Davis-simply brilliant that woman is!!, Ronni Ancona, Catherine Tate etc.) but stand up wise they just tend to be too predictable in general and don't do much to shake off the stereotype that all women care about is their men and their weight. |

I'm sad Sarah Millican turned out to be crap, WOMEN ARE FUNNY but truth is, like Sarah M and Jo Brand, too many of the ones who are just self-promoters hit the front still. |

And the sexist angry little man outsider angry loser abuse Mary Beard got after she tangled with a Little Englander on Question Time just goes to prove - ship the Little Englanders out to go and fly flags in the Falklands or somewhere and we might all be ok.

Well stand-up is a male dominated area so it could be a good thing to get female comics more exposure. There's no real biological reason why men should be funnier than women.
What I fear though is that we'll just get sick to the back teeth of the sight of second rate twofers like Gina Yashere and it'll backfire as woman who arn't good enough, get on because they need to fill the quota; thus 'proving' people who think women are not as funny as blokes right.
Confession time: I quite liked Miranda when it started but, either it has just got worse and worse as it has gone on, or I was suffering from some sort of brain fever and have recovered from it now.

Sharon Horgan is very funny. 'Pulling' was a very good show.

With her being female, a panel show host/contestant, Jewish and absolutely gorgeous, here's something for everyone on this thread: |
