I was so dissapointed with this DVD. First off, of all the great comics mentioned to be on this DVD there are as many hideous ones, and here is the catch, sometimes they only have 3-4 minutes of the stand ups routines, like with Judy Tenuta, but include all of the horrible comics routines like Jenny Jones and Morgan Fairchild. All of these clips were filmed in the early to mid nineties and are all performances from Evening At The Improv. If you are a die hard fan of these ladies and really must own everything on DVD, then buy this, otherwise you are much better off just buying their individual stand up routines. The dvd advertises that its uncensored, but here is the catch, all the appearances were filmed for TV, so they are already all censored. Im sorry I bought this collection. I dont want you to be too. Lastly, this "4 hour" set is only 3 hours and 20 min. Each DVD is only 40 min long. SOOOO BAD

Comedienne Margaret Cho has announced on her own website, www.margaretcho.com, that her material included on this DVD was NOT authorized by her or her management. This probably means that the other comediennes included were not consulted either. The people appearing on this DVD are not being financially compensated: DONT BUY IT.

Although culled from early performances, you will not find a find a greater collection of "comediennes" on the market. With Ellen Degeneres, Margaret Cho, Sarah Silverman, Susie Essman, Wanda Sykes and the list goes on and on. Some great early performance and classic routines.

if you want to laugh and think this is great , then do not watch this.
nothing more to say, no talent here or at least no material unless you have the mentality of a moron, duh!

Great old material of stand-up shows including great perfomances by the best american stand-up comedians....such as Margaret Cho, Ellen DeGeneres of course, Wanda Sykes, Rosie, Judie Tenuta, Sarah Silverman and lots more. I only missed the best stand-up comedienne in America today: Kathy Griffin....or also some other great funny ladies like Joan Rivers, Suzanne Westenhoefer, Kate Clinton, or Marga Gomez...maybe if they make a new DVD collection, they will hopefully read this review first ;-). But all in all, great material in 4 dvd's for the price I paid.

From margaretcho.com:
Margaret Cho did not intentionally give her permission to be included in this Funny Ladies DVD. We are trying to find out if this was done illegally. She is not being compensated.

As a fan of standup, what I love most about this set is the mix of comics featured, ranging from Margaret Cho to Ellen DeGeneres to Rosie and so on. So many times, when I view a single comic's work, the flow of the performance has weak spots, sometimes even by design. In this, it's hot moment after hot moment, all assembled with a great pace as it takes you from one performance to another.
