According to a "scientific" study commissioned by some random website and covered by LadBible.
No women at all in the top 10. The first "woman" to appear on the list is at #15 and that entry is Eddie Izzard. (Izzard's new gender must have cost them at least a couple of places because women aren't funny, are they?)
Sarah Millican comes in at #19.
This is how Lad Bible puts it: "Interestingly enough, the only non-male comedians to feature on the list were Sarah Millican and gender-fluid Eddie Izzard."
So, Sarah Millican is now a "non-male". Has anyone asked Sarah if that's how she identifies? I suspect not.
Oh, and the disingenuousness of putting her name before Izzard's in that sentence when she is actually four places below him on the list - to hide the MISOGYNY.
I feel a rage blackout coming on.
