Best Irish female comedian.

hurler007

most of them ar rubbish but deirdre o kane is my favourite her accent and her laid back ness on stage is brilliant in my view!!!

not a fan of maeve higgins tink her jokes are so s*1t. she was rubbish on naked camera too. i tink she is too over rated.

PS:im from cork so im not a dub tryin to give cork a bad name!!!:D

None in the UK? Look up Shappi Khorsandi. I guarantee you'll enjoy her stuff.

Lucy Porter is a lot better I think.
Shappi is very good, she goes past the boundaries of female comedy and she's young and hot which is always a plus

Im not a stand up/improv sort of gal/guy but i will make this short and sweet.

Margo carr and her other Half Conal Carr lack creativity and material, You never know when Margo's Punch lines are and Conals bland voice dulls the spirit of the Audience. The Mobile phone in the Guinness Gag is not funny and Margos 5 minute break for ten minutes gag is just wrong but it gets a giggle from 1 or 2 people maybe. I think Comedy Dublin would do great without the two masterminds. Margo has good MC Talent but sounds like a Pirate in doing so, Conal is good for wearing long T-Shirts and digging graves in Glasnevin Cemetary he is that Depressd looking. And as for Margo i think its terrible that you kicked a Member from the group because

(A) He Was very very funny
(B) He Made the group seem Professional
(C) He had Origional Material all the time
(D) He did not Hog the Stage
(E) If he did Hog the stage it would stop you making terrible jokes
(F) He was Popular with every other member of the group
(G) He enjoyed making people laugh

As for other Female members of Comedy Dublin they are very good especially Gabby from Germany her name should be up there with the rest, And i think ts only a matter of time when Comedy Dublin Collapses due to Jealous Behaviour.

And just so you know this is an opinion from someone who is very close to you.

Sour grapes make a scathing attack humorous. This is a thread about female comedians not an attack on Comedy Dublin and I can probably say that there are a lot of people that would disagree with this, then again this is a forum so the soapbox is there for you to play around with.

Just heard Eleanor Tiernan on Today FM, she was crap, couldnt be bothered going to see her.

She was absolutely dire.. and regurgitated content from her stage act word for word.

She did seem nervous though.

It's hard for women to be funny professionally when you consider that none of them are even capable of it at recreational level.

One poll option is missing: "the best Irish female comedian ... is a dead Irish female comedian".

Agreed, but it would have been quicker to just type "Maureen Potter", as well as saving us the guessing game?

I quite like Maeve Higgins, although anybody would look funny compared to the two twats she did Naked Camera with.

None of them are very funny, unless you're twisted then they are mildly funny. I saw that carol tobin girl a while ago-wish she'd brought a noose so i could hang myself. Nothing was funny she basically just said she was a big whore....hilarious stuff :rolleyes:

I was in the bankers a while ago for an improv thing, a girl in that was very funny. Called rachel i think? Short dark hair? Sound familiar to anyone?

i saw carol tobin listed on the iveagh gardens program is she actually funny, i thought she was just nepotisitic sindo socialite type.

eta: ah just read comment above

Maeve Higgins was MCing at the Iveagh Gardens yesterday, and while i did enjoy the acts she was introducing, she was by far funnier. Enjoyed her material and delivery. Hope ill get to see her again some time.

I have no idea what that means.
Saw her as part of the Aprés Match Presents show. She only had a short set. Did a couple o fun lyrics. Not really enough to judge her fairly IMO.

Eleanor Tiernan id woefull. Her material is tripe and her delivery is not much better. It must be obious to any who has seen her that the only reason she has gotten any bookies is down to who her cousin is.
