Comedy is one of the most personal things to have an opinion about, which makes it perfect for a community vote. Here are funny women worth discovering and backing on VoteHer, from stand-up headliners to the sitcom faces you have quoted for years.
On the stand-up side, the talent runs deep. Ali Wong turned brutally honest specials into a Netflix staple and an award-winning turn in Beef. Tiffany Haddish went from breakout scene-stealer in Girls Trip to one of the most in-demand comics around. And Mo'Nique pairs an Academy Award for Precious with a stand-up career that pulls no punches.
Then there are the women who built the sitcoms we grew up on. Lisa Kudrow made Phoebe one of the most beloved characters on television and has quietly become one of comedy's sharpest performers. Debra Messing anchored a show that genuinely shifted the culture, and Molly Shannon turned her Saturday Night Live characters into bits people still quote decades later.
Plenty of names cross the lines between stand-up, acting and hosting. Olivia Munn moved from comedy and genre roles into a wide screen career, and Ellen DeGeneres went from stand-up to one of the most recognizable hosts of her generation. Comedy is rarely just one job.
VoteHer turns all of that into a friendly argument with a scoreboard. Open a comedian's profile, cast a vote, and watch her climb a board decided by the community rather than by follower counts. Browse the full comedy ranking and vote up whoever makes you laugh hardest.
