Female Stand-Up Comedy Specials That Will Make You Cry Laugh

Male comedians have enough time in the spotlight, we’re not even going to bother putting them in the mix. We’re not splitting this 50/50. No, this is all about female comedians. So if you’re all about funny, witty, smart women that can make you cry with laughter and choke on your snacks from laughing too hard – you’ve come to the right place. Here are some of the best comedy specials you should definitely watch.

1. Hannah Gadsby – “Douglas”

Such a brilliant comedy special. Hannah is witty, hilarious, and her point of view on life will surprise and amuse many, while at the same time making you feel seen, heard, and understood. We don’t know how she manages to be so relatable while talking about being so different and having such a unique mind. “Douglas” is a wonderful show that will make you chortle at every single joke she makes. And if you haven’t seen “Nanette”, we envy you, because that means you’ve got two brilliant comedy specials to watch.

2. Ali Wong – “Baby Cobra”

Ali Wong did something in her 2016 comedy special that we’ve never seen before. She took the stage heavily pregnant, in a tiny mini dress, and told the filthiest jokes you can imagine. This woman has no filter and we absolutely love it. And once you’re hooked on this show, you’ll want to watch her newer comedy special “Hard Knock Wife”, which is just as good.

3. Tig Notaro – “Happy To Be Here”

If you like your comedy to be minimalist, deadpan, and sarcastic – Tig is your kind of woman. We love how she can just quietly comment on something and make you laugh out loud. She’s silly and aloof, but she also isn’t afraid to touch upon difficult topics in an amusing and funny manner without seeming insensitive or overbearing.
