Women in Comedy

Funny AND Female!

Written by: Erin M., Senior Editor – Posted: Thu Mar 1st, 2007

Don't tell me women aren't funny. It's just the stock insult for "funny" men everywhere when they can't think of a reason to hate a comedienne.

They'll argue that a woman just can't tell a joke like a man can. Or, that men just can't relate to a woman's sense of humor.

Even worse?

A study published in the scientific journal Evolution and Human Behaviour suggests it's because men find wisecracking women a threat. Hmmm...

Whatever the case may be, there is overwhelming evidence to prove that there are hilarious women out there vying to prove all the men wrong.

Tina Fey



To me, and a lot of others, Tina Fey is untouchable. The brains behind Saturday Night Live, Mean Girls, and the hilarious 30 Rock is the picture of "successful woman comedienne". Her dry humor and dead-pan delivery are her calling cards which keep fans coming back week after week. But don't mistake the words "dry" and "dead-pan" as stuffy or boring. During her tenure on SNL she was responsible for such "commercials" as "Mom Jeans" and the famous "Boston Teens" sketch.

To top it all off, she's cute as a button! Her ubiquitous dark-framed glasses (well, except in this picture...) and short brown hair have put her magazines galore, proving that you don't have to be homely to be hilarious.

I've heard of most of these except Margaret Cho and Jessica St.
Clair. I'm sur they're awesome though! I love Tina and Amy. I wish

good list. You should have Sarah Silverman on here though, she's
pretty hillarious.
lawl at you defending your dream date. ;)


I think personally insulting the author in this forum isn't fair.
You should just let her know in a private kiwinote so that she can
get her point across better. I thought the comment was funny and
that she covered her back when she said "I'm not just saying that
because I know of her and you don't." It was genuinie and also
poked fun at the kind of people who brag about their knowledge of
indie culture--erin isn't like that at all. Maybe you missed the
sarcasm there?

for the record Jessica St. Clair isn't well known and I'm really
glad you put her on here so more people can find out about her!
great job.
maybe the way i stated the comment about jessica was poorly
worded? i certaintly don't intend to come off as holier than thou
or important, so for the fact that you couldn't enjoy the article
because of it, i apologize.

also, i just want to add that sometimes it's easy to forget that i
tend to have a sarcastic tone when i write. if you've never met me
it can definitely come off the wrong way. i'll try to keep it in
check next time.
"
I don't expect you to know who Jessica St. Clair is. And really,
I'm not just saying that because I know of her and you don't.
"

Alot of people know of her, I do for sure.

I hate when people make an article and keep implying the readers
are clueless.

I couldn't enjoy the article because it felt like you were
insulting our knowledge of who people are.

I understand some people may not know, but to keep implying it is
just ridiculous.

You're not special, important, or grand. Get over it.


For the record: Ellen owns all.


AH I love all of those women especially Tina fey and Ellen!
i love ellen pretty much more than life. and tina fey is so
great...i miss her and jimmy fallon on snl doing weekend update <3
shes awesome..
ellen is my hero! i love her and she's so funny. and i love her in
Finding Nemo, i don't think anyone else could have filled that
role.
Amy and Tina are, well were , great when they were on SNL. i love
them too.
I love Ellen! She's my fav comedien. I haven't seen her partner
but guess I'll have to.
