Favorite Lady Comedians

[Mileysmiley]

Who are your favorite lady comedians?

I'll start off with Lucille Ball.

Sara Pascoe

I loved Linda Smith so much. She was wonderful

So by that reckoning OP you'd class the following as 'gentleman comedians' seeing as they have acted in comic roles :
Ian McKellen, Richard Briers, David Jason, Nigel Hawthorn, Bill Nighy, Bill Murray, Tom Hanks, Will Smith etc etc etc.
No. They aren't 'gentleman comedians'; they are actors.

Susan Calman. I absolutely love her.

How about you tell us your favourite gentleman comedian first?

Victoria Wood is still my favourite. However, I love Sarah Millican and Susan Calman and I always enjoy Aisling Bea, Rosin Conaty, Katherine Ryan and Izy Suttie. There are loads now I think about, as long as it's not Sara Pasco I'm usually happy. Thanks for the reminder about Linda Smith, when something pops up on Radio 4 Extra with her in it I have a good laugh and a little cry, she was wonderful.

Francesca Martinez (the wobbly comedian) is one of my favourites.

Also not loving the description 'lady comedians' however, one of my favourite comedians at the moment is Rachel Parris.

Not keen on the ‘lady comedians’ bit but Jayde Adams is very funny, her newest show is brilliant.
I love Kiri Pritchard McLean and Rachel Fairburn on their AKNF podcast too. Kiris victim complex show had me laughing and crying.

My favourite comedians are Aisling Bea and Katherine Ryan. They happen to be female.

Love Katherine Ryan

Susan Calman. I absolutely love her.

I forgot about Susan, I love her. She's funny and an absolutely lovely person.

I think lay off the OP’s wording.

She may be, judging by the posts, more my ex-MIL’s generation where there was nothing wrong with saying lady comedian or at least no intended slight.

Victoria Wood. French and Saunders ,especially their early days. I thought I would like Sarah Millican after reading an interview, but find her act totally unfunny.

Victoria Wood.

Katherine Ryan is throwing women under the bus by prioritising men's needs in the trans 'debate'.

Jennifer Saunders is fantastic.

Shappi Khorsandi, Sarah Millican and Victoria Wood

I like Miranda Hart and I think her poshness warrants the name Lady comedian too. Such Fun!

I’m not if I’ve changed, or if the comedy landscape is finally swinging towards women more, but on programmes like Taskmaster I genuinely find the women far funnier than most of the men.

I liked Sarah Millican and then I saw her live

“She may be, judging by the posts, more my ex-MIL’s generation where there was nothing wrong with saying lady comedian or at least no intended slight.”

So she is incapable of learning?

@Mollyboboff I saw her live too and loved her show!

I am exhausted by a world where every word spoken or written has to be analysed,categorised , deconstructed and invariably criticised.
Lady comedian v female comedians . Who cares which phrase is used ! Why do people have to get offended over every little thing ?
