Most of the comedians I love have a Libertarian vibe.  Not Moral Majority Conservative by any means (they're never funny).  Definitely anti-government though.

Jim Norton
Doug Stanhope
Ari Shaffir
Big Jay Oakerson (really seems to stay a-political)

Yeah man. That’s one of the memories I’ll have forever. He was pretty cool. Just a regular guy chillin on the street drinking and smoking.

A day later I sat in studio for an Opie and Anthony show. Pretty epic NYC trip.

Maybe evolution played a key role.

Women screen for a sense of humor because it's closely tied to intelligence.

Whilst men look for a woman that laughs at their jokes.

Perchance.

I stopped watching and/or listening to comedians years ago....that's when they turned "comedy" into being "woke" and/or turning into lesbians and/or sour bitches.

So, years ago, I was a fan of Lisa Lampanelli, Margaret Cho, Wanda Sykes, the Queens of Comedy (Sommore, Mo'Nique)...and some others.

I saw a clip of a lesbian comic playing guitar and singing about being too liberal for Texas but too conservative for Oregon, she also did a great bit about subaru outbacks (which I drive).  I do not remember her name, of course.

Young crowd here. I can’t believe Carol wasn’t mentioned until page 2.  She is hysterical.  Her show was iconic.  

Gilda Radner is another great comedian.

Are any one of the above so called “funny” female comedians able to get through an entire set without talking about how much of a ho they are? I’m not trying to name call, but seriously. Every. Single. One.

There are no funny female comedians. They all only ever tell "jokes" about their period, being whores, lesbians, or absolutely shitting all over men.

One of my oldest and best friend from childhood is a stand up comedian.  He came to Boise about 10 years ago and his schtick didn't work there.  He was pretty unfunny, dude is funny as hell when we are just sitting around the table or campfire.

Attell is a funny, funny dude.  Insomniac was one of the best travel shows ever.

On female comedians, Madigan, Bamford and such are funny.  There are a decent number of funny women comedians, but they also tend not to make a lifestyle of neurotic and some are just around for a while and then quit.  Elaine Boosler was funny in the 80s and early 90s, no idea if she's still around.

Generally not a big stand-up fan, but I was on a road trip one night and was flipping XM channels.  Hit the comedy channel where they were playing a bit from this Canadian chick.  Not sure if it was because it was just a nice respite from sheer boredom of driving at night, but she had me in tears.

Hardest I ever laughed at a female comedian live was probably Marsha Warfield. She was drunk as hell, but definitely on a roll that night.  Believe it or not, Ellen Degeneres wasn’t bad on stage either, early in her career (she got pretty lame after a while though).  I used to watch a lot of standup back in the day, and was lucky enough to see a lot of good (and bad) comedy.

I'm a pretty funny dude IRL and I enjoy making myself and people around me laugh but there's no way I could construct pre-written bits and make a crowd of people who expect me to make them laugh laugh.

The funny shit I say in a BS conversation would make me look like a fucking psycho in front of a crowd of random people waiting to laugh.

I have women in my personal life that are low-ley funny. But it's not as socially acceptable for women to be class clowns so it's harder for them to be good comedians.

I agree with Rita Rudner. She was a bit dry, but funnier than a lot of male comedians.

Comedy isn't what it used to be. I watched the Joan Rivers roast from 2009, the only funny lines came from Joan and her daughter.

The whole cancel culture crap killed it. Comedians have to be careful what they say or they'll get attacked. Maybe not right away, but at some point. What happened to Kevin Hart hosting the Academy Awards was a symptom of the decline. Over a decade ago I heard comedians were hesitant to perform on college campuses because of backlash from jokes.

Lol I’ve seen hundreds of standup acts.  The art is dead and has been dead for decades.
