The 10 Funniest Females In Comedy

Jerry Lewis was a funny guy in his day. Never was he more hysterical though than when he declared that he felt that women aren’t very funny.

Aisha Tyler has had a wide and varied career – from stand-up to talk shows, movies to TV. But she will perhaps always be most beloved for providing the slightly unhinged voice of Agent Lana Kane in Adam Reed’s FX animated series, Archer.

Recently renewed for a sixth and seventh season, Archer continues to receive almost universal acclaim, and is a firm fan favourite. Tyler’s iconic voice performance in each episode – in which her character goes toe-to-toe with the bungling and arrogant Sterling Archer, while they work for the International Secret Intelligence Service – has brought her international stardom, as well as providing the opportunity to expand her resume further. Recent project have included Reno911!, Glee, and being the host of Whose Line Is It Anyway?
