In some ways I believe that comedians are the most talented performers of all. They have to make us laugh and usually we are a cynical audience. With female comedians there is an even greater sense of skepticism so when they enthrall us with their hilarious jokes, it is something to be truly admired. Here are a few world famous women comic artists.

Her comic style is not usually offensive and she constantly gets the opportunity to keep us in splits in her TV talk show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show. She was also the star of her own sitcom in the 90’s, which was cancelled after she came out as a lesbian.
