International Women’s Day was recognized this month across the world. Rest assured, Netflix is home to girls and women who mean business. Whether it’s Violet’s quick wit, Elena’s activist mentality, or Deidra & Laney’s unorthodox thinking, there’s something for every girl to relate to. Now, for us women, I’ve been compiling a list of six women comedians on Netflix you need to watch. Watching Netflix on the weekends is my guilty pleasure, and I have spent many a weekend watching these phenomenal women do their thing (and they are pretty funny, might I add!).
Ali Wong
She is, by far, my favorite comedian on Netflix right now. Her Baby Cobra special had me giggling throughout. Any woman who can do standup while pregnant deserves a medal and is a must-watch among comedians who are women on Netflix.
Katherine Ryan
I will warn you – you may get offended by her standup. Bill and I laughed through her In Trouble comedy special. As one of the bold women comedians Netflix features, Katherine Ryan’s humor is unforgettable.
Iliza Shlesinger
She has 3 Netflix comedy specials. I love them all! Her sharp wit cements her status among the funniest female comedians on Netflix.
Cristela Alonzo
This is a Latina comedian who tells it like it is. Check out her work if you’re exploring women comedians streaming on Netflix.
Chelsea Peretti
You may recognize Chelsea Peretti from Brooklyn Nine-Nine. She stands out as a character comedian among the women featured on Netflix.
Jen Kirkman
She is the queen of observational comedy on dating, relationships, weddings, divorce and the single life, making her a standout in the lineup of women comedians showcased by Netflix.
Whether you’re in the mood for sharp social commentary, fearless storytelling, or just some much-needed belly laughs, these six women prove that comedy is in excellent hands. Each brings a unique voice and fresh perspective to the stage, and you can stream them all from the comfort of your couch. So grab your snacks, hit play, and get ready to laugh with some of the funniest women on Netflix right now.
