Female Comedians...

Is it just me, or is there really no such thing as a decent female stand-up act? Why is it that they're so horrible at stand-up comedy. There are great female comedians, but they're on scripted television, or SNL. I ask this because I just barely saw this horribly overweight and hideous woman on Jay Leno tonight. She was so incredibly awful that it sparked this thought. I've discussed this with friends in the past. I mean, there are so many funny male comics: Brian Regen, Mike Birbiglia, Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Cosby, and Conan O'Brien, just to name a few. Most of those were stand-up comics. They're also pretty clean too; they don't base every joke on sex, or racism, or a lot of swearing. They're actually funny, and prove that comedy doesn't rely on scum and crap.

But it's a running theme with almost all female comedians, that they must not only bore us, but also offend us with their crude jokes and racist jokes. What is the deal? What ever happened to grape sno-cones, or chocolate cake?

It's just sad that women resort to crudity. That's no way to act, especially for a lady. I say, quit it. Nobody cares. Nobody listens to female comics anyway.
