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. Now, that has never been the case – as proven by the sterling work of such greats as Lucille Ball and Gilda Radner. But, what of today’s crop? With so much time having passed, surely such progress has been made in the field of feminism that funny females have greater access to the world’s stage? Surely, by now, we have so many that their number – and stature - is equal to that of their male counterparts?

Having established herself as one of the most beloved and talented faces of Saturday Night Live from 2000 – 2007, Maya Rudolph has successfully dove-tailed that hard work into a career beyond the legendary sketch show. Starring in Mike Judge’s satirical science fiction comedy, Idiocracy, Rudolph brought her brand of nuanced humour to what would become a movie with a significant cult following.

Since the release of that film – toward the end of her time on the SNL cast – she has achieved something of a balance between big budget popcorn movies (Grown Ups), box office smash hits (Bridesmaids), independent films (Away We Go), and TV (Up All Night, The Maya Rudolph Show). More big things are brewing for Rudolph as well, with a voice performance in Big Hero 6, and a role in upcoming comedy The Nest to look forward to.
