“We’re The Heat” – Five Of The Best Female Comedy Duos

We all know those amazing comedy duos like Laurel and Hardy, Frost and Pegg and Martin and Lewis, but some of the best comedy duos are most certainly female. With the release of The Heat this week, this got us thinking about female comedy duos. Here are five of the best female comedy duos. For more info on The Heat, you can log on to the Facebook page here.

1. French and Saunders

Arguably the greatest comedy duo of all time, not just the greatest female duo, French and Saunders sketches are some of the funniest that have ever been written. Although they are funny seperately, these two make a dynamite duo.

2. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler

If you saw these girls presenting the Golden Globes, you know this is a dream comedy pairing. Intelligent, smart and best friends to boot, Tina and Amy are two in two million.

3. Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph

When we were promised a film with an all female cast with two hilariously funny female comedians, we never believed it would materialise and then the wonderful Bridesmaids happened.

3. Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley

Saunders makes it for the second time in the list but this time, it's for the wonderful series, Absolutely Fabulous. With Saunders as Eddie and Lumley as Patsy, these were two women many aspired to be. Of course darling...

4. Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox

Friends defined the 90's, there is no question about that. But at the heart of the funniest comedy series of the decade was a real heartwarming and funny relationship between Monica Geller and her best friend Rachel Green. "But I don't want to live with a boy!"

5. Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy

The Heat will be released in Ireland on July 31st and this really is a comedy pairing in heaven. The wonderful Sandra Bullock teams up with the hilariously funny Melissa McCarthy as a cop duo on the hunt for a drug criminal. The pairing, along with a genius script, makes this one of the funniest films of the year.
