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?

Writer, producer and actress Tina Fey is a bona fide trailblazer. She was the first female Head Writer at Saturday Night Live, the person responsible for the first all-female Weekend Update pairing on Saturday Night Live (herself and Amy Poehler as co-anchors), and she was the youngest recipient of the Mark Twin Prize For American Humour.

She entered the comedic history books as having created the perfect, most critically acclaimed impression of Sarah Palin, ever performed. She also created 30 Rock – a show that earned 225 award nominations and 72 award wins in 7 years, and re-booted the career of Alec Baldwin.

Having added “Golden Globe Co-Host” to her resume, twice, Fey is continuing to divide her time between film and TV – appearing in This Is Where I Leave You this fall, starring in and producing The Nest, and serving as executive producer on forthcoming TV shows, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Cabot College.
