Funny Girls

Well, a little about myself... but not too much. I've recently taken up an immense interest in stand-up comedy. I've been working some jokes out myself, but haven't actually performed for an audience or anything. I am considering recording some of my stuff and possibly posting on youtube, so that could be pretty cool.

Anyway, the purpose of this blog is not (necessarily) to promote myself as a stand-up comedian, but to get the word out about some of my favorite female comedians. Originally it was just going to be my favorite comedians in general (who include Demetri Martin, Mitch Hedberg, Jim Gaffigan, Margaret Cho, Chelsea Handler, Sarah Silverman...), but then I heard somewhere that women aren't funny. I heard that women are not good at stand-up comedy. And I said "nuh-uh!" So here we are. I'm promoting my favorite female comedians. I find them through google, iTunes, word-of-mouth, etc. and I youtube them. I'll be posting my thoughts on some female stand-up comics as well as links to videos of their work. I may stay away from some of the more mainstream comedians, however, if I feel they already have enough of a cult following.
