...and by funny I mean, rude, crude, and anything in between (or beyond). Because that's the kind of inappropriate humor I adore in people *ahem*abby*cough*.

Anyway, here are some of my favorites:
(I'm sure there are more women who could be on the list, but these are some of my favorite moments from my own stand-up collection--minus Julie Goldman, if she's put out a dvd I'm unaware of it, and you should tell me).

Kathy Grifin
I live for "My Life on the D-List" during the summers. My weeks would not be complete without Kathy's self-deprecating recaps of her life in Hollywood, her main gays, and occassionally meeting up with Cindy Lauper and Margaret Cho to go drag shopping ("You GOTTA have the crown!!") or pet kangaroos with Lance Bass(no joke).

One my favorite stories:
Brooke Shields wedding, Mamma Shields drunken speech, grabbing Kathy's cooch, and telling off the groom's mother: "Shaddup you fucking cunt"


Kathy's run in with Mary-Kate: "What's up fat-ass!"



Sarah Silverman
What's more funny than someone who's criticizing society? Someone who does it almost exlusively via social taboos and controversial topics like racism, sexism, and religion. I love that her act is centered around mocking bigotry and stereotypes, however, it is kinda sad that often this type of humor actually re-inforces those stereotypes ironically, for that section of idiot/actually-prejudice viewers. But I still love her.

Jesus is Magic: "I hope the Jews did kill Christ...I'd do it again"


Sarah's open letter to Martin Luther King:
"Guess what...I had a fucking dream too!"



Wanda Sykes
Wanda is great because she also brings up stereotypes in her act, but the way she manages to diffuse them with her blunt observations, turns some serious issues that people might not like her opinion on into simplified statements that are hard to argue with. Managing to bring up how ridiculous it is that women have to be scared of being alone at night for fear of being raped, by making a pussy joke? Genius.

"Wouldn't it be great if our pussies were detachable?"


"The biggest threat to marriage isn't same-sex couples. The biggest threat to marriage is divorce...that's what fucked up my marriage."



Margaret Cho
I've noticed there's another common theme running among this group of women. No doubt are they hilarious, and controversial, but they are all also very intelligent. Margaret Cho is probably the prime example of that. Her acts are full of political and cultural commentary, and I love it. Besides being a comedian, and actress, she's also an activist, and is frequently standing up for the issues she jokes about on stage. It's awesome.

Fuck Wave, Morning After Pill:
"Half the work force will be lost, because we'll all be generating a huge pussy cyclone"


"So you shine a Chinese Restaraunt menu in the sky and I'm supposed to swoop down? Dunna-nana-nanna-na Chinky!"



Julie Goldman
I can never get enough of the founder of "Offensive Women". What comedy show sounds more perfectly tailored for me? Especially after seeing this list. Her approach and phrasing in her stand-up slay me, because let's face it...inappropriate noises, facial expressions, and gestures, also count. Plus her interviews and vlogs are just as entertaining as her skits on "The Big Gay Sketch Show".

Stand Up for PoliticsTV: One of the first stand-up gigs of hers I saw.


"You like that? You like that, chair! You like a vag on you do ya? I don't care, Suzanne. I've had 16 Jack & Gingers, I'm fucked up!



Although it was completely unintentional, I just noticed this is like the list of diversity. We got a white girl, a jew, a black lady, asian woman, and a dyke. It's like a rainbow of dirty female comedians. I love it.

and even though she couldn't be more non-offensive, silly, and just warm and cuddly...who doesn't love Ellen?
