Grow a pair Dorothy. 'attack'. Really? Attacked? He may be a prize tit but you don't need to be such pussy.
Piss off, this joker was on every thread last night, even someone as great as you would have got angry

Well, he seemed like a prick anyway. I assume he has gone?
Not forgetting Hinge and Bracket.

Joan Rivers is absolutely hilarious.
And personally I would rather see Victoria Wood doing stand-up than most male comedians. saw her a number of years ago and she was brilliant. My wife has lots of her old television stuff on DVD and Acorn Antiques - I know it's not stand-up - made me fall off my chair at one point.
PS - but there aren't many male comedians I would want to go and see live, either.

Female comedians aren't funny, fact. It's not in the genes, females are not natural comics where as men are.
For example, Miranda is probably the worst programme on TV, ever. She's no natural comedian is she, and generally the only people in my friendship group who like Miranda are females, or really immature males.
But let's take Simon Pegg and Nick Frost for example, who are bloody hilarious and have made in my opinion on the the best films ever in SOTD, the humour in it is marvelous and you can just tell they naturally make people laugh, which is why they're so successful.
That Sarah Milican or whatever her name is is not funny either, also whenever Mock The Week throw a female onto the panel they are never funny too.
Leave comedy to the men, ladies, that is all.
Ps - If you find Russel Howard you need to sort out your life, BIG TIME.

You realise that the unfunny Sarah Millican made about 2 million quid last year from telling jokes? Miranda made even more.

This is a fact, there is a huge amount of money in stand up. Bernard Manning died a millionaire too as did Jimmy Savile.

In summary - Oh no.!!!
Yes - chris - chris - Calatery Sisters - chris.
Genius! That other lass on The day today who did the American news was brilliant too. Character name Barbera Wintergreen.
Julia Davies in Blue jam is great - you may know her from Gavin n' Tracey.

Which is impressive for someone who isn't funny.
They just attract an audience for some reason, bizarre really.

How much money people make or what TV audience they get is irrelevant. It probably means they are suitable for bland mass-market TV, and almost certainly have to tone down their content (if they even needed to) as a result.
But I don't buy the 'women don't make good comedians' stuff. There are fewer, so you maybe have to look harder, and there are total duds like Miranda and Victoria Wood, just as Billy Connolly and Michael McIntyre aren't in the least bit funny.
But the likes of Sarah Silverman, Joan Rivers are quality acts. Shappi Khorsandi makes me laugh as well. And I would pay to see Lucy Porter, although that is not totally joke-related.

I do not find any female comedians funny the nearest is the Jewish one whose name I cant even remember.
Rabbi Julia Neuberger?
Comedy Steve
We're f'ing brilliant
How many of the people who have posted on this thread regularly go to stand-up comedy, out of interest? Genuine question.
I would rather cut off, marinate, cook, garnish and eat my own testicles than watch Sarah Millican on television for more than the amount of time it takes to change the channel.
It's not a sexist thing at all, I've just never found a female comedian funny, especially her. Maybe it's just because I can't relate to them, I don't know.
(or maybe it's just because they're not funny)
