[QUOTE=MaxTheVool] Ever since the **Ben Stiller Show** , I’ve thought that **Janeane Garofalo** was gorgeous.

I’ve been in deep lust for Laura Kightlinger since she hosted that stand up clip show on Comedy Central. Mmmmm… ---

I’ll echo the sentiments for Tina Fey (there’s something quietly perverted about her), Janeane Garofalo (who I’ve also adored since the Ben Stiller Show days), and Laura Kightlinger. Margaret Cho would be a LOT of fun to have sex with, I’ve always thought. Sarah Silverman is a cutie, but she has a real “bitch” vibe to her that turns me off. Maybe it’s because she played such a good bitch in School Of Rock. I also have a major Fran Drescher fetish–she did stand-up, right? Probably performed as her “Nanny” character, I would guess. She doesn’t talk like that all the time, luckily. Wendy Liebman is a stand-up comedienne I’ve always admired, who never seems to get mentioned. She has terrific delivery and comic timing that I love, and she’s very cute as well. ---

I’ll second Wendy Liebman, and mention Jan Karan, about whom I haven’t heard much lately, but who I always thought was pretty good looking. So was Lizz Winstead, one of the creators of (and performers on) “The Daily Show” before Craig Kilborn did something to piss her off. ---

> [@Loach](#): > > Two things in Sarah Silverman’s favor: she admitted on _Politically Incorrect_ that her man in the boat was pierced, and she used to live with Dave Attell, so looks can’t be that important to her. I had never heard the clitoris described as the “man in the boat” before. Perhaps I’m sheltered. But the saying does paint a vivid word picture, doesn’t it? I’ve never thought Sarah Silverman was very funny. Her nearly invisible presence on “Saturday Night Live” was, at the time, a validation of the old “cute women can’t be funny” theory. ---

Well, I’ve always had a strange sexual attraction to female comedians… not a fetish or anything, but just finding them more sexually attractive than the response their looks would normally elicit. Is that insulting to them, or not? Anyway, I’ve always liked [Nicole Sullivan](http://www.wvah.com/programs/madtv/nicolesullivan.shtml) from MadTV, [Kathy Griffin](http://www.bravotv.com/Kathy_Griffin_The_D-List/) from that blase Brooke Shields vehicle among many other things, and a few others, but I would expect that from her persona, [Judy Tenuta](http://www.comediansusa.com/female/tenuta_judy.html) would be a raging bonfire in the sack… [stereotype] Cuz, you know, the insane chicks are always the least inhibited in bed.

I don’t know much about her, but I think **Bonnie Hunt** is totally hot. Looks like she did Improv with Second City, so I guess that fits the OP. Tenuously. ---

[QUOTE=bughunter] Anyway, I’ve always liked [Nicole Sullivan](http://www.wvah.com/programs/madtv/nicolesullivan.shtml) from MadTV Mmmm, Nicole Sullivan was a hottie, as is her Mad TV costar Alex Borstein (better known as the voice of Lois from Family Guy). I can’t stand Mad TV, but I wouldn’t mind some mad lovin’ from them! ---

> [@bughunter](#): > > Anyway, I’ve always liked…[Kathy Griffin](http://www.bravotv.com/Kathy_Griffin_The_D-List/) from that blase Brooke Shields vehicle among many other things… Ugh, I like Kathy Griffin less because of her acting. Can’t say I’ve seen her do stand-up aside from that one woman show she did on Seinfeld. She grates on me like no other. Oh and um second Tiny Fey…meow! ---

I dunno if this counts, since I have no idea if she ever made stand up or performed her own material, byt **Jenna Elfman** is hot and looks like a lot of fun. + she’s tall - 5’10" ---

Well, Jenna Elfman is a scientologist… do they actually have sex for pleasure? And Kathy Griffin was on D-List last night on Bravo, and was pretty damn funny. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/which-female-comedians-are-hotties-judging-by-their-stage-persona/249457.md?page=1)
