To make a crowd laugh that it's not your crowd requires focus, commitment and sheer fucking will.
I can't help but laugh at Aubrey Plaza for example, she seems to be really good at improv and timming, no idea if she ever wrote standup tho.

There are oceans of unfunny people doing stand up tho, it's not hard to find the unfunny ones whatever their gender might be.

 

[West Texas CEO]

A lot of male comedians arent funny too.

Kaya Yanar.

My problem with women comics is that they always talk about their fucking period or vaginas that being said unlike OP, I respect women!

Muh husband/wife/fap sock

Penis comedians also do this too much. Oh also penis.

No way, it would only stain the pedestal.

Germans have classy female comedians, USSR had some.

Ali Wong is great. On Netflix.

Funny? Meh.
Funny looking? Hmmm...lol

 

[Elektro Demon]

I don't know any funny women in real life. Maybe they exist but I haven't met them.
Even when a woman is telling me a joke I don't listen I just stare at her boobs/camel toe.

 

[Riven326]

Women aren't funny.

 

[cryptoadam]

A lot of comedy is making fun of relatable and every day situations.

A chick talking about her period or being pregnant or some bad date wont land with dudes as much because we cant relate.

I am sure chicks probably dont find Dice or penis/fart jokes as funny either.

Great comics can cross over and will generally use racism since everyone finds racism funny.

 

[squallheart]

Most women aren’t funny, at least not in standup but this chick had me cracking up

Oh my spooky xD not gonna lie she had be chuckling. Heres my like

 

[StreetsofBeige]

I don't find women usually funny either. Men are funnier in general.

Damn. Why are most comedians not funny?

Looks at Jerry Seinfeld.

I feel the same. I've seen my share of stand up acts and the number of laughs I do aren't too many. And the ones I do almost all come from the raunchier 10pm or later shows where if it's some loud sexist or racist jokes it could be funny. Or when the comedian was making fun of the Chinese waitress serving drinks to the crowd. Haha. That guy was funny.

Do the friendly 7 or 8 pm show and there's been times I didn't laugh once.

Ya.

The funniest stuff in life doesn't even come from comedians practicing for months in front of a mirror. It's from being with friends and family and someone is making fun of something real, in real time, and natural.

Some idiot on stage telling the same joke for the past 50 stand up shows about how on the weekend he went to the hardware store and got his cock caught in a saw is not funny.

He didn't go anywhere on the weekend, he didn't go to a hardware store, and his cock didn't get cut off.

this one makes me want to roll on the floor laughing sometimes:

this one makes me want to roll on the floor laughing sometimes:

I'm already cracking up from the thumbnail. Bitch head shaped like a thumb and talking about how people confuse her with other asian women

Again. That’s horrible.

 

[Keihart]

The deadpan delivery and poker face get's me everytime.

 

[Sakura Doritos]

Being a comedian is Really tough and the amount of rejection, low wages, and struggling to find your groove will put women at a disadvantage in the West. This isn’t acceptable use of time if you have family goals.

I haven’t seen a funny female comedian in a while. Maybe it’s a lack of talent all around for women but I think the lifestyle is a real barrier to entry which leads to being lazy.

There is a female comedian in Sydney that cracks me up.

 

[gela94]

Ali Wong is great. On Netflix.

Some funny moments but a bit too aggressive for me and are there male comedians who talk about sex in such details?

 

[gela94]

Germans have classy female comedians, USSR had some.

Really like who?

 

[Kenpachii]

Most comedians are loud and obnoxious in general.

 

[Riven326]

Really like who?

Anke Engelke.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

Anke Engelke.

When has she ever been funny?

 

[llien]

When has she ever been funny?

I have only seen her, when she was funny (one needs to state that I don't watch TV that often, German in particular).

There are numerous successful female comics in USSR/ post USSR era, I don't know why it is so problematic in the US, perhaps american comics take the "glass ceiling" nonsense at its face value..

 

[lock2k]

Aubrey Plaza is the only funny woman i can think off, i dont know if she even does stand up but her interviews are funny

I've been watching Parks&Rec and Damn... she is hot as fuck. She is like a spice come to life or something. Such a unique beauty. Love how airheaded her April character is.

 

[UnNamed]

There's nothing worse than a woman who's trying to be funny, see how many girl youtubers are just embarassing.

Fun should be natural, some girls are naturally funny, and when this happen they are really funny. But most of them are only cringe.

Gen Fricker? Nina Oyama? Yumi Stynes?

I know there are some but for the life of me I can't remember a single name.

I miss Hitch

Me too, it would have been so very interesting to see him have a go at the current cultural excesses.

 

[DeafTourette]

Ali Wong is great. On Netflix.

I don't laugh out loud at a lot of comedians but both of her Netflix specials had me laughing out loud!

 

[GymWolf]

I like to laugh at my sister because she think that men laugh with her because she is funny and not because she look nice

[highrider]

In my experience women are funny, but definitely far less so than men. Women tend to be funny in skit comedy or just in day to day social situations. I’ve seen women that are decent at stand up, but never at the level of the males. I also never see comedic lead women anymore in shows. Back in the day you had Mary Tyler Moore, Carol Burnett, Lily Tomlin etc.

 

[Kev Kev]

lol what? why? there are a ton of hilarious female stand ups out there. why did she feel she needed to amke a statement? this is so stupid
