[Swede]

1. I loved Ellen's HBO special.

Jeanne was a close second.

[travisleit01]

10. Me too!

She was great. Very funny...

[Catshrink]

2. What? No Ann Coulter?

She's the biggest joke of all.

[rbnyc]

3. I didn't want to include naive artists. (nt)

[Arcturus]

31. Female comic. FEMALE.

n/t

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

4. I love all of them on your list and can't choose but a special

shout out for Monique! In fact, the Showtime Queens of Comedy special was one of the FUNNIEST specials I have ever seen!

[rbnyc]

5. I've never seen her.

I'll have to check her out.

:hi:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

16. DO check her out

I think you can rent that video...those women are a SCREAM!

[shanti]

39. yep!

i couldn't stop laughing!

[LSparkle]

6. Sandra Tsing-Loh

The Sugarplum Fairy herself! (From one who's lived "A Year in Van Nuys"!)

[THUNDER HANDS]

7. Sara Silverman

Is just genius.

[theemu]

36. Definitely Sarah Silverman

[mitchum]

37. Yep!

[Kahuna]

8. Paula Poundstone.

[Cheswick2.0]

20. I love Paula Poundstone

Ellen would be 2nd. Paula still cracks me up, though I haven't seen any new material for awhile.

[Deja Q]

9. Lily!! I love Lily!

She rules!!

Ellen's a good #2, but she still isn't as kewl.

Whoopi is good, but she'll always be Guinan to me...

[joeybee12]

18. Yeah, Lily's a genius--wish her old albums would come out on CD!

I have one of her as Ernestine where she calls up J. Edgar Hoover and Joan Crawford!

[Rabrrrrrr]

11. Rita Rudner, perhaps?

Does she even still do comedy? I used to love her.

Also Paula Poundstone.

I voted for Ellen, but Lily is also a goddess.

[ironflange]

28. I love Rita!

She's still going strong:

12. Ellen's show is GREAT

and I say that AFTER going to a taping . But I gotta love Margaret Cho, too. And Roseanne!

[T Roosevelt]

13. What about Elayne Boosler?

Saw her show once - she was f'n hilarious! I was crying I was laughing so hard...

[jpgray]

14. Laura Kightlinger--funny!

And cute, too. :D

[MrSlayer]

15. Hmm

For some reason I don't find any women comedians funny at all. They just don't make me laugh. I think the only female comedian I laughed at doing stand up was Gilda Radner. I also love Madeline Khan in all the Mel Brooks movies.

[joeybee12]

17. Voted for Carol, even though she shouldn't be in this group--she's a comic

actress, not a comic--the others all have done or do stand-up.

Of the rest, gotta be Lily--her stuff was pure genius.

[rbnyc]

19. I kind of thought that too, but I just love her.

:hi:

[joeybee12]

21. Wish she'd come back to tv, or at least they'd release more of the

old shows on DVD!

[FloridaJudy]

22. What? No Gilda Radner?

I know she'd dead, but she's still the funniest person I know.

[rbnyc]

23. She's awesome.

I was close to putting her on the poll, but I didn't wanted to be too conflicted in my vote for Lily Tomlin.

[rbnyc]

24. kick

:kick:

[CSI Willows]

25. Ellen!

But Tracy is also very funny

[Colin Ex]

26. Margaret Cho!

Hi, my name is Gwen.

-C

[proud patriot]

27. Whoopi

:-) I think my mom and her are twins
I swear they are identical except my
my is white but other than that they
are completely the same . :-)

[HamstersFromHell]

29. Marsha Warfield

Of "Night Court" fame....ok on a TV sitcom, but her night club act was one of the most outrageously funny stand up shows I've ever seen.

[HEyHEY]

30. Elvira Kurt

[VOX]

32. Janeane is *the* woman!

A big kick for her...

:kick:

[Dogmudgeon]

33. How could you forget WANDA SKYKES?

My gawd, she got in some of the best zetzen against Bush I've ever heard.

--bkl

[rbnyc]

34. I left her out.

I figured folks could write her in if they want to. Something about her bugs me.

[Bossy Monkey]

35. No adherents of Judyism here?

ie Tenuta. Not sure she's still working, though.

[shanti]

38. the orginal queens of comedy

i like ALL of those funny funny sistas!
