Funny women in the UK and Ireland

Our panel show stats show that women have been under-represented on comedy panel shows. Some panel shows have claimed it is hard to find funny women. If you are looking for some funny women in the UK and Ireland here is a non-exhaustive list of suggestions. Thanks to Pippa Evans, What The Frock?, Paco B. Garcia, and The Guilty Feminist/Made of Human podcasts for lots of suggestions. Feel free to tweet me with more.
