There’s no quota. I just found it remarkable that your lists were almost entirely split that way and wasn’t sure if you’d even realised.
Ones I like personally: Sharon Horgan, Diane Morgan, Julia Davies, all of the cast of ‘Getting On’ or ‘Smack the Pony’, Victoria Wood, Jennifer Saunders, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler.
Obviously comedy is subjective but I do always find it surprising when these discussions happen how many people categorically state women aren’t funny or there are no female comedians they like (this comment isn’t aimed at Ole because he didn’t do either of those things) when I think there is such a broad spectrum of female comics and so should in theory be something for everyone, same as with male comics.
I have never heard of most of those comedians by name (in both quotes) except Goldberg and Morgan. I only mentioned Robin Williams and Jim Carrey (predominantly actors now) in my list because someone mentioned earlier that they did not like them, so I wanted to say that I liked them.
I would not personally label Goldberg as a comedian, more just an actor, but I am not sure. Yeah, I don't mind her as an actor. I have only watched Morgan in her appearances in WILTY (Would I lie to You) but I don't recall having any strong opinion either way. I have Googled the others and only Rivers seems familiar and again I think it is probably from an acting role.
That list I made of comedians that I like featured people I have 1) watched on TV and 2) looked up on YouTube for more clips (this includes Williams and Carrey). The only female comedians that really ring a bell that I like are Toksvig and Victoria Cohen Mitchell. But I have never bothered to look for more of their content on YouTube.
I think that is partly because they are nowadays more presenters/ hosts. For a similar reason, I did not put Jimmy Carr in the list I dislike because he is now also more of a host. I think being a host is probably pretty difficult because you may have to come up with your own jokes, read pre-produced jokes made for you and provide a platform for other comedians to build upon.
EDIT: As an example, whilst I think QI is becoming a bit stale, Toksvig I think has been a brilliant host and makes it more enjoyable to watch rather than Fry in the latter series.
