Female comediennes, Funny?

[Pavilionaire]

I would not claim such a thing. And I can't be banned, I have done nothing wrong.

Jesus didn't do anything wrong either, he still ended up on a cross.

Ha! Nice one! Reading this thread I can see why people complain about (some) Palace fans coming in and trolling every thread.

Always enjoy Jo Brands self deprecating dry humour.

Jo Brand has to be the very worst of the female comedians.

Painfully unfunny, I have no idea how she has even lasted this long.

Dame Edna
Lilly savage
Both funny

Both very good, but again I've never roared with laughter like I have with the fellas.

Tee hee

Can't agree with the OP. Acts that have gone down a storm at our comedy club include Zoe Lyons, Jo Enright, Jenny Lockyer (songs), Jude Simpson (songs/poems) and Joanna Neary (characters).

But it's all down to personal taste. What makes one person howl with laughter leaves another cold. It's the mystery of the funny bone.

Indeed. We had this yesterday (and periodically in the past) with the 'Harveys at the Amex' thread. Everybody thinks (and feels the need to say) that their taste is right and anybody who disagrees is a snob, a philistine, a bore, etc. Ditto music threads.

This evening I'm going to watch a DVD of Mrs Brown's Boys. Now she IS one funny woman!

Yes he did. He pushed his religious beliefs on others.

I would rather try and nail my ear to a plank than experience the "comedy" of Mrs. Brown's boys. Have seen French and Saunders live, very funny, also find Miranda hilarious. ...But I guess that I am basically endorsing the first bit of the above post!

Yeah, yeah you can

Well that made me laugh.

Both men. Agree about Dame Edna, Lily Savage is shit.

Swooooooooooooosh.

You don't think using a thread about female comics to attack Brighton on a Brighton fans forum is wrong? I take it you are member of a Palace forum?

Grow a pair Dorothy. 'attack'. Really? Attacked? He may be a prize tit but you don't need to be such pussy.

 

[Nibble]

Swooooooooooooosh.

Don't worry I got it.

 

[Paskman]

I think that Edna has just proved the premiss of this thread to be wrong!

 

[Nibble]

Very few female stand up comedians are funny, certainly not consistently. I've seen many of them in conversation and they can be very funny but as far as getting up on stage and being funny, no. People will laugh at them as it's rude and awkward not to but no-one believes female stand ups are actually funny.

She's Palace & a munter - but I quite like Jo "She Ain't Arthur Wait" Brand.
