The obvious answer to this is to list all of the funny ladies you can think of. Go FS, goooooo!

I know that Kathy Griffin isn't everyone's cup of tea since she's like ONTD in human form, but that is what I love her, and she's an incredibly hard worker to boot.

There was also a comedian named Sabrina something and I cannot for the life of me find anything about her but she had a Comedy Central special in the early 2000s that really stuck with me. (I was around 10 when I saw it and foolishly never wrote her name down and have regretted it forever.)

Googling "comedy central sabrina" got me Sabrina Matthews, with a video posted in 2001.

Oh man does Kathy Griffin work too! I love her for that alone.

Meanwhile, I'm loving @midnight on Comedy Central for the fact they've been showcasing a ton of women comedians (some good, some not so good)

Also Jo Brand is fabulous on QI.

"Some of you are thinking: 'Sabrina... what an odd name for a teenage boy.'"

(Yes, Sabrina Matthews... Parts of that routine have stuck with me too (now watch me get the above quote completely wrong).)

Sue Perkins
Linda Smith
Sarah Millican
Shappi Khorsandi
Aisling Bea
Miranda Hart
Josie Lawrence
Katherine Ryan
Susan Kalman

There's more but I'm bad at remembering peoples' names.

She's a favorite hands down. I started watching her stuff after loving her on Doctor Who and was pleasantly surprised by all the funny she's been responsible for.

Sandy T{somethingsomething} (Not even going to attempt to type her surname since I'm not 100% on how to say it even. It's one of those "trail off somewhere in the niddle" type of names for me.)

You know the woman. Short Dane lesbian, frigging hilarious. Somewhere between Ronnie Corbet and Steven Fry with a vagina.

absolutely love her.

Meera Syal!

It might be just because I'm old, and her standup is now about women and aging, but a few months ago I caught a routine by Joan Rivers and I can't remember the last time I laughed that hard. Joan on the red carpet? No. Joan doing standup? Yes, please. I was astonished at how funny she was (again--it may be funnier to me at my age than it would have been to me twenty years ago.)

All the female comedians I've seen (a lamentably short list compared to the male):
Josie Long
Tiffany Stevenson
Kate Lucas
Jo Caulfield
Shappi Khorsandi
Sarah Millican
Andi Osho
Francesca Martinez
Vikki Stone
Lucy Porter
Aisling Bea
Mae Martin
Grace Petrie
