Everyone chooses their comedic preferences based on different things. Whether you like one-liners, dark humor or long witty stories, it’s all based on your personal likes. That’s why I can’t actually tell you if any of these guys are funny or not. That’s not what I am doing here. I am simply judging these comedians solely based on their appearance. As a comedy fan, I could care less what the comic looks like, of course – but however, as a woman, it’s certainly an added bonus if your feature act or headliner is a nice piece of eye candy.
