Caroline Aherne, RIP

[bignev23]

Prob the best of the women comedians from what I've seen. a genuine talent for making people laugh.

Agree w

Caroline Aherne was deffo the funniest and most talented among women comedians, but also rated French & Saunders (and Lumley in AbFab), Vickie Wood (also RIP) and Catherine Tate. Holly from Red Dwarf was great. From the Americans Tiny Fey's made me laugh a few times.

The problem nowadays is identity politics, and in comedy this translates to identity comedy, where most women will focus their routine on their gender, politicising it. It's boring, mostly. Men get to do their comedy about anything they like, so ironically these feminist funsters are causing the very problem they claim to be fighting against (*waves at Caitlin Moran*).


Massive talent was Caroline, hope she'll inspire a new wave of women in comedy.

Agree with that the likes of Sarah Millican make me cringe. Forgot about Sharon Horgan- always found her funny

Caitlyn Moran, has to be one of the worst people going, surely. Up there with Amy Schumer and Lena Dunham.
