Anonymous asked: hi could you suggest any female comedians? I was talking with friends about our favourite comedians and realised that you don't really see that many female ones on TV.

Do you mean stand-up comedians?

Off the top of my head: 

Andi Osho
Gina Yashere
Wanda Sykes
Sarah Silverman
Linda Smith (deceased)
Sarah Millican
Jo Brand
Katy Brand
Elvira Kurt
Joan Rivers
Tina Fey
Ellen Degeneres
Margaret Cho
Jenny Slate
Ruby Wax
Ksthy Griffin
And that rubbish one who’s always on Mock the Week. Lucy something. Ugh.

Shapi Khorsandi ?

Yes! Shappi Khorsandi! I was trying to remember her second name and couldn’t.

Maria Bamford should be on here as well :D

I’d never heard of her till just now, but yes—this woman is funny.
