Why Are Female Comedians Not Funny
I find the majority of female comedians to be extremely unfunny, possibly the only one I liked was Miranda Hart, and even she's gotten overused now.
Is this view shared by you guys? I'm in no way trying to be sexist, but in my personal preference i've simply found that I find female comedians less funny/unfunny.
It's not just you. And not even Miranda. In fact, especially not Miranda 
I hate Miranda, shes so unfunny. The only female comedian I don't mind is Sarah Millican.
because women in general aren't funny
Who is that Geordie one? I know the name but I can't remember it. She is truly crap.
I've never seen a funny comedienne, women can be funny away from stand up though.
The late Christopher Hitchens wrote an article on this.
tl;dr? Here's a video

Sarah Millican? I completely agree, she's not funny at all

The top female comedians tend to be the ones who don't just use their gender as a tool for laughs. A lot of the comedians and other female personalities who go on shows such as QI tend to avoid making reference to their gender as their go-to for humour.
There's also a biological reason for not finding women as funny apparently.
I find Sarah Millican funny 
Sarah Millican is one I really can't stand- there are some that are alright, but it is a field where I think men are ahead. It's because many women use their gender as their selling point, which makes it seem a bit like a low-hanging fruit topic.
i am trying to think of any female stand up comedians that i like. but im struggling.
I dont like:
Miranda Hart
Sarah Millican
Jo Brand
Shappi Khorsandi (shes ok at times)
Mock the Week has had a fair few women comedians on, most of which were disastrous.
Though, I did get some good laughs out of some, so some are funny.

This. So much this. Miranda makes me irrationally angry. She's so horribly unfunny.
I know a fair share of funny females IRL, but I agree that most female comedians are awful.

Oh god I hate Sarah Millican with a passion, with her stupid high pitched voice, omg does my head in.
The only female comedian I can think of that I like is Dawn French but she doesn't really do much stand up or sketches nowadays so I see her as more of an actress rather than a comedian.

I'm going to see Miranda in October. She's hilarious, I absolutely love her. And she knows when to be serious and when to be funny. She was so good in, 'Call The Midwife'! I also don't mind Sarah Millican.

I used to find her funny few years ago, but every time I see her now she gets worse. Suppose she is the best of the bad lot for me. I totally understand you though.
Shappi Khorsandi is decent, but I have not seen her stand up since I was a teen, so perhaps Sandi Toksvig is legitimately witty and funny. So many comediennes are simply terrible. Let me give a good example of someone considered hilarious, but who is actually ridiculously unfunny: Sarah Silverman. In one of her jokes she said, "Jesus is coming" Then in her next Tweet she said something like, "sorry, coming on my face". Seriously? That might have passed for humour when I was about 10.
I would think her lame by my current standards.

Agreed, I think QI or Have I Got News For You usually have some good female comedians.
I'm contradicting myself, oh well. I meant I found the majority unfunny :P
Karen Dunbar is quite funny too.
