Female comics on the Rolling Stones' '50 Best Stand-Up Comics of All Time' list:

Wanda Sykes
Margaret Cho
Elayne Boosler
Amy Schumer (lol)
Phyllis Diller
Moms Mabley
Roseanne Barr
Tig Notaro (lol)
Janeane Garofalo (lol)
Sarah Silverman
Joan Rivers

The rest are male comics. So Rolling Stone has just 11 women in a list of the best 50 comics. The kicker though? Only one woman was in the top 30 - Joan Rivers...and just for reference, she was put ahead of dudes like Dave Chappelle, Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Burr, Bill Hicks, etc.. And it seems like they stacked the 40's with a lot of women comics (possibly just to get their numbers up?). Tig Notaro was placed ahead of Sam Kinison.
