I have seen... a handful over the years that were legitimately funny, but they're still rarer than a unicorn.

I think one common failing of a lot of these female comedians is how often they try to act rather masculine. Usually macho and cocky, which just comes off as fake and weird, because they're clearly overcompensating without the raw cleverness to actually back up the facade.

Another thing, after just taking a quick peek at some examples, is how women are prone to falling in with modern trendy bullshit. Being aware of (and mocking) modern trendy bullshit IS an age-old joke-source for comedians. But it doesn't work at all if you're embracing and supporting it between jokes in a half-preachy way.

Tldr, female comedians are often blatantly fake without a personality of their own and can't actually relate to their audience. Unless it's a bunch of seal-clapping lesbians and feminists.
