When I stop to think about female comedians, the last thing that comes into mind is ‘sex appeal’. Perhaps that’s just me being an ass, but the majority of them are always slightly overweight and far from feminine. While I’m not expecting some blonde porn -esque bimbo, a little makeup certainly wouldn’t hurt anyone. And so, on my quest to find some good-looking ladies with a funny bone, I decided to do a little research and will now have to eat my words. Not only are there plenty of sexy ladies in comedy, but narrowing it down to a short list was a bit of a challenge. Read on for my personal picks.
Abby Elliot – Leave it up to SNL to find a new cast members that can attract viewers with both humor and good looks. Having just recently joined the SNL team, Elliott is only 23 years old and already holds an impressive resume. Her father is also none other than Chris Elliott, who was cast in SNL from 1994-1995. But if you think that she used that as an ‘in’, think again. By watching any of her skits it’s clear to see that behind all that sex appeal is a great sense of humor.
Anna Faris – After her breakthrough role in the horror film parody Scary Movie, Faris has become something of a regular in the world of comedy. Never one to shy away from the fact that she is smoking hot, she’s been in everything from the critically acclaimed Lost in Translation to the cheesy flick The House Bunny.
Tina Fey – Who could forget about the sexiest version of Sarah Palin the world has ever seen? Smart, witty and understatedly sexy, Tine Fey has become one of the most memorable SNL cast members and continues to make us laugh with movies like Date Night and her award-winning show 30 Rock.
Amanda Bynes – As a child actor, Amanda Bynes charmed us all during her Nickelodeon stint and roles in All That and The Amanda Show. As she grew up, she starred in What I Like About You and subsequently moved on to the big screen in Hairspray and Easy A. Not only is she incredibly funny, but she was voted as Teen People’s “25 Hottest Stars Under 25″.
