jaline, wendy l. is funny as well AND she does realtionship humor. but she has an original twist on it. that's what makes it good stand up.
and what you say about "if a guy used her (Sarah's) jokes would not be considered original," you're probably right. And maybe that's what makes Sarah funny to me. She's willing to be cutting edge while not being too terribly gender specific. Her humor is more obscure, ie: general than what many other female comics are doing. Having said that, I also think the majority of MALE comics suck too - but that's just because their material is weak. I just find that the female comics that I don't like seem to all be talking about the same thing, relationships. Whereas the male comics that suck are all over the road as far as subject matter. Just an observation.
But please know I think there are some good god damned female comics out there!
Margaret Cho
Wanda Sikes
Lynne Koplitz...just to name a few.
