    Lee Evans

    Joan Rivers stand up – Live at The Apollo video »

    Joan Rivers

    I think it’s time to set the balance. So far all the stand ups that I’ve reviewed are guys. I know when we talk of stand up comedians we automatically think of blokes. You know, Ben Elton, Bob Hope, Bill Hicks, George Bush etc., but there are some very funny female comics out there …
