there's a VEEEEERY small handful of women comedians that are at least decent... can't think of any off the top of my head, let's see if I can find any via the google machine...

kathleen madigan is decent.
ellen degeneres is ok in small amounts (guess that kicks the shit out of the bi/lesbian theory)
whoopi goldberg was the shit back in the day, but she had material that was definately stupid. hit/miss I guess.
sarah silverman... gah, not a fan, but she has a few slightly amusing bits. her telling of 'the aristocrats' is ok (not great)

Madigan and Silverman are funny. I'd add Jeneanne Garofallo (sp?) to that list. I saw her live and laughed about as hard as I've laughed in my life. I like smart, dry humor and she is great at it.

garafolo was funny years ago. haven't heard any of her stuff in a long time, so I'll reserve the right to say you're a moron

Well to be honest I saw her about 5 or 6 years ago so she may have dropped off since then. (If she's still even touring.)

the issue I have with garafolo, cho and (at times) whoopi goldberg is that they're all rabid left-wing liberals. I'm a right-leaning centrist, and when they rail on and on about how republicans so stupid (quoted verbatim from whoopi when she hosted the oscars one year), it's old before they even begin.
