This post is the introduction to a new series I'm going to be writing, all about funny women and why they are the best. The series will focus on a different female comedian each week, covering what she has accomplished and why you should check out her work.

Women who are writing, directing, producing, creating and starring in their own work whilst making some of the funniest film/TV ever made need to have some praise. 

And no, I will not be talking about Amy Schumer. She's great but everyone knows who she is - she literally has a show all about her, with the name in the title. I will be covering female comedians you might not be aware of, but really should be.
