Hopping onto social media used to be a light, fun activity full of selfies, harmless memes and confused posts from grandparents. Nowadays, however, even a quick scroll through your newsfeed can be heavy. Articles about atrocities happening around the world, heated political debates and online protests seem impossible to avoid. And while it's important to be socially aware, sometimes we just need a break from it all.  

If you’re looking for some lighthearted comedy that will bring a bit of sunshine to your day, don’t worry, pandas. You’re in a safe space! Below, we’ve gathered some of the most hilarious posts women have recently shared on X. So enjoy scrolling through these silly observations, and keep reading to find a chat with Lynne Parker, Founder and Chief Executive of Funny Women!

The hilarious posts you’ll find on this list have all been pulled from X, but we wanted to find out more about the world of comedy, particularly for women. So we reached out to Lynne Parker, Founder and Chief Executive of Funny Women. Funny Women is the UK’s leading female comedy community and is dedicated to helping women perform, write and dive into the world of humor.

Lynne was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda and discuss the difference between comedy for stage and the internet. “Playing to a live audience standing on a stage in a venue is for most people the ultimate experience, as it's where you get instant feedback, whether that's laughter or silence,” she shared.

Not bad, but not nearly as cool as the woman who'd show up wearing a black veil to the back of your burial

I've made an arrangement with my sister to have an actress friend of hers show up at my funeral as I'm lowered into the ground, stand at a distance, and occasionally dab at a tear. No interaction with anyone, and quietly leave with no explanation. :)

My SIL works for a funeral home. I am a very muscular, imposing, tall woman. I have offered my services to stand ten feet away from the funeral in black dress, black sunglasses and large black hat, say nothing and leave after immediately the service. For an additional feel, I'll leave a black rose on the deceased headstone every month for a year. So far, no takers.

I saw a post once where someone said you could hire them to go to your funeral, dressed in black, standing way back, and cry a lot. Then people will assume you had a more interesting life than you did. If I weren't married, I would totally do that.

Where a dark Victorian gown, slip in and out of rooms now and then. Stare off out a window.

Will you still come over even if I don't have a party? I'll give you more than $10.

I can’t even handle how much I love this. It makes me want to get enough friends to have a party and hire her.

$10 dollars an hour is more like it. I couldnt last not smiling. I'd have to run away giggling.

Kinda sounds like every party I've ever been invited to. "I didn't see any girl."

For an upcharge, have everyone in the party in on it except that on whom you need to extract ninja revenge.

On the other hand, Lynne says creating comedy for the internet is about second-guessing what your followers will relate to. “And while feedback can also be instant, you can't see the whites of their eyes!” she noted.

Plus, it's important to know that the internet isn't always a welcoming place. “Social media can be a hostile competitive environment, and you're only as good as your last post,” Lynne added. “Judgment in both cases can be swift and brutal, and nowhere is it more instantaneous than in comedy.”

Creating comedy for the stage and for the internet often go hand in hand, the expert says. “I coach performers and develop new talent, so my best advice is to work with what comes naturally to you in terms of material both live and online,” Lynne told Bored Panda. “Good content will work in both environments, and you can build an audience with your online persona so that when you tour, ticket sales are guaranteed.”

We were also curious if it’s important for stage comedians to post content online nowadays. “A strong online presence will help to market your live performances and shows,” Lynne says. “Take Mammy Banter, who won our Funny Women Content Creator Award in 2023. She had never performed live stand-up, but with 3.5million followers on social media like Instagram and TikTok, she has a ready made audience and sold out her first ever gig and her latest tour!”

Lynne noted that they also cover the building blocks of creating comedy for both live performance and online content at Funny Women. “If you prefer to work with us in person, I'm running my Stand Up to Stand Out Summer School on Saturday 17th August in London. In both events, the principals are the same, where we help you to structure your comedy and develop material. You find out what works by experimenting with us in a safe place.”

Finally, Lynne shared some wise words for anyone in the virtual comedy scene. “Social media and online content is so powerful, and it can make or break you. Be prepared for opinions, good and bad, and remember that they aren't personal because they don't really know you,” she told Bored Panda.

“Having an alter ego or 'character' can protect you, but sooner or later you've got to get on that stage in-person and meet your fans face to face. That's where the magic of comedy really happens,” Lynne says.
