What are their best routines? Please restrict your choices to living, present-day female comedians. We already know how nasty that Joan Rivers woman was.    Posted:   Nov 16, 2018 - 10:24 AM     By:   'Lenny Bruce' Marshall   (Member) Sarah Silverman had a brilliant show on Comedy Channel few years ago. Pure comedy genius! Her stand up routine is good also. Lisa Lampanelli cracks me up. I love insult comedy. Naturally . Brm    Posted:   Nov 16, 2018 - 10:28 AM     By:   Justin Boggan   (Member) I find Lisa Lampanelli to be one of the most vulgar and vile for the sake of being vile, "comedians" I've ever encountered. Roasts of people used to be funny, but these Comedy Central "Roasts" are painful, filled with painfully unfunny people like Lisa Lampanelli. I had to stop watching them over a decade ago because it was disgusting. At least old funny roasts were filled with real piers and people who knew the person being roasted; watching William Shatner being roasted by a bunch of awful "comedians" and only two people that worked with him (that I recall) showing up is awful (Takei and Uhura).    Posted:   Nov 16, 2018 - 10:41 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) Are we talking stand up comedians or actors who do comedy? I've never been fond of stand of comedy. I'd say from the late 70's on it gets it's laughs from gutter humor or mean spirited jokes. I've seen plenty of female actors do comedy well on television however.    Posted:   Nov 16, 2018 - 10:50 AM     By:   'Lenny Bruce' Marshall   (Member) I find Lisa Lampanelli to be one of the most vulgar and vile for the sake of being vile, "comedians" I've ever encountered.

I agree about roasts where its just a bunch of random people. I've never seen a CC roast. But if it is done right its hilarious .i.e.Rickles Lampanelli is brilliant on Howard Stern! Vulgar is in the ear of the beholder. Brm    Posted:   Nov 16, 2018 - 10:56 AM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) Please restrict your choices to living, present-day female comedians. We already know how nasty that Joan Rivers woman was. Yeah nasty. And she swore. Ask Regie.    Posted:   Nov 16, 2018 - 11:57 AM     By:   The Wanderer   (Member) I liked the Ali Wong specials on Netflix.    Posted:   Nov 16, 2018 - 2:39 PM     By:   'Lenny Bruce' Marshall   (Member) I find Lisa Lampanelli to be one of the most vulgar and vile for the sake of being vile, "comedians" I've ever encountered. .

Although she hasn't done stand-up in 15 years, she will have a new stand-up special debuting on Netflix on December 18. https://www.businessinsider.com/ellen-degeneres-stand-up-special-on-netflix-release-date-details-2018-9    Posted:   Nov 17, 2018 - 12:01 PM     By:   Thor   (Member) Ellen DeGeneres is pretty "old school" by now. I love her, of course, but she's 60 years old! That's just 5 years younger than my own mother.    Posted:   Nov 17, 2018 - 8:47 PM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Amy Poehler? Sarah Silverman? Ellen DeGeneres? Lisa Lampanelli? Not compelling choices at all.    Posted:   Nov 17, 2018 - 8:55 PM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Please restrict your choices to living, present-day female comedians. We already know how nasty that Joan Rivers woman was. Yeah nasty. And she swore. Ask Regie. I'm tempted to charge up a Oujia Board and ask Joan! She has to have better material in "The Great Beyond" than the ladies mentioned in this thread.    Posted:   Nov 17, 2018 - 9:04 PM     By:   Solium   (Member) Amy Poehler? Sarah Silverman? Ellen DeGeneres? Lisa Lampanelli? Not compelling choices at all. Anyone remember how Ellen DeGeneres became famous? I do! She was in a freaking Showtime Network Channel amateur comedian contest. And I remember afterwards thinking, this chic is awful!    Posted:   Nov 18, 2018 - 12:53 AM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) Ellen DeGeneres is pretty "old school" by now.

Where most members are 16 or 60.    Posted:   Nov 18, 2018 - 11:31 AM     By:   'Lenny Bruce' Marshall   (Member) Ellen DeGeneres is pretty "old school" by now.

Where most members are 16 or 60. Chronologically. Emotionally we are all 15 years old!    Posted:   Nov 23, 2018 - 6:37 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Until I see examples to the contrary, I'm going to err on the side of logic and state that contemporary female comedians tend not to be funny. However, I'd be more than happy to listen to better examples of funny female comedians should they ever be provided.    Posted:   Nov 23, 2018 - 8:16 AM     By:   joan hue   (Member) So women are comically challenged and only men are good comics? Seriously?    Posted:   Nov 23, 2018 - 8:20 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) So women are comically challenged and only men are good comics? Seriously? Not at all. There are plenty of dire male comedians, past and present. Which contemporary female comedians would you recommend?     Non-Film Score Discussion: Contemporary Female Comedians    < 1 2  > >>  Go to page:  1 2   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2
