Your Favorite Female Comic Working Today?

All fab gals. But I'd have to add Lily Tomlin to the list. She's still working, though it'd be easy to forget.

Maria Bamford is the best but Kathy is my junk food solution for stand-up comics.

I also love Julie Klausner, mostly for her great podcast which I feel like is a much better forum for her.    

Whitney Cummings - meh.  She needs to lose the Obama-worship schtick.

I've seen 3 of these lovelies live...great list!

LOVE Joan Rivers, Sarah Silverman & Wanda Sykes!  I also love Sandra Bernhard, but I don't think of her as just a stand-up comic.  Don't care for Kathy Griffin.  And if we're talking ANY funny woman working today, then Kristin Wiig is definitely one of my absolute faves!

Judy Gold. IT'S JUDY'S SHOW-O-O!

I also love Margaret Cho, she's the best!

Nonsense, Tony-winning Dame Edna eats all these gals for a breakfast appetizer, then moves on to the main course. 

Poor Totie! Bless her heart.

Kathy Griffin is one of the funniest women I've ever experienced and as we all know, I go back to the Gracie Allen era.

But not, as rumor would have it, Mabel Normand.

Whitney Cummings is uber funny...Sarah Silverman isn't...Kathy Griffin is amazing...Wanda Sykes is funny too but needs some new material...as does Lisa Lampanelli whose tired old jokes about being plowed by a black man are wearing thin

If you ever watch Fashion Police on E!, you can see just how funny Joan really is when she consistently cracks up people MUCH MUCH younger than she. I love her, Kathy Griffin & Wanda more than the others, but they are all OK, too.

Michelle Bachman

What about Chelsea Handler?

They all have different brands of comedy, so I don't know that I'd be able to choose an overall favorite, though I do lean towards Joan because of her ever-changing humor and continued relevance.

All great gals!  Every one, even Totie.  I think I have to vote for Sarah, if I have to choose. 

Definitely agree w/ all of your choices. There are many more I like too, but too many to list.

italian + greek + jewish + atheist + brazil = grace gianoukasYou don't need to know Portuguese to laugh with her

Wanda Sykes gets my vote..she can wring the wtf? reaction out of any situation to hilarious effect.

Joan Rivers. But Roseanne is incredible as well. Latoya Jackson is also comedy gold.

Lisa Lampanelli rocks!!!

Also include Judy Gold and obviously Joy Behar and Roseanne. I'll be doing a whole other big thing about Roseanne.

Joan Rivers by all means! She's a true genius for decades! Love that gal … xoxo …Karon Bihari

Kathy Griffin.

Kathy Griffin, duh.

Wow, I didn't realize how talented the field of American female comics has become! More bang for the buck than the boys' club. Proof: each listed fella on your list's just as good (and flawed, which is also good) as any other.

Kathy Griffin. I've been to 2 of her shows and she never fails to make me laugh.

Totie! Totie! Totie!

Thanks to datalounge for this idea. They have really good polls.
