Good comedy for the ladies?

[DJoneday]

Ok...i already had a decent sense of humor before listening to comedy, but i thought "Hey, ill get some laughs AND a humor boost, why not?" so i DLed some Dave Chapelle and Eddie murphy...both HILARIOUS guys...well my humor skyrocketed around the guys, because both Eddie Murphy and Dave Chapelle have very sex-oriented humor. Around the ladies however, it was hard for me to keeo the sex jokes off (which are ok occasionally...but continually can get some chicks kinda pissed) anyways my question is what comedians do you guys listen to to improve your sense of humor for the ladies?

Thanks

My favorite is George Carlin, but the ladies don't always like his humor.

One that both the ladies and I enjoy is Bill Cosby. I mean his late-night routines, not the things kids hear from him.

Robin Williams...Comedy Central's "Fryings"...and a little bit of Bond humor.

Jery Seinfeld has some great semi-sophisticated humor
Michael Feldman has an incredibly sharp wit, but all his humor is dead-pan (he's on PBS btw)
imo, Chris Rock is one of the funniest comedians out there, but everything he says is racist (which is, of course, what makes him so funny)

however, I think some of the best comedy comes from theatre.... read some plays by Oscar Wilde and Neil Simon (two of the funniest playwrights ever.....)
oscar wilde was a british guy from the late 19th century with an unmatched wit and sense of social criticism... his best works (imo) are An Ideal Husband and The Importance of Being Earnest
Neil Simon i think is still alive, he has a real talent for situational humor (which isn't as handy as wit, but still very funny).... he's most famous for The Odd Couple and Rumors

I recommend seeing these plays being performed (by good actors and director ), so that you can see the best way to bring the humor out.....

everything...

Robin Williams is one of the most brilliant men alife, and definatly one of the funniest. Chris Rock is good too, but his material is more situational humor... but I'd say DL a lot of comedy central presents from random artists, the more jokes you hear the better rounded you will be.

Jim Breuer, Will Smith when he was on Fresh Prince.....

"Robin Williams Live On Broadway" is classic! His outtake on golf should be downloaded by everyone...

What about Dave Attell and Lewis Black?

Personally, I love both of them, however (Lewis Black more so) I doubt that the ladies would appreciate such humor. Especially the way Lewis delivers it.

Pablo Fransisco is hilarious, too. Gotta love his "Juevos Splash" bit.

Jack Black and Jim Carrey

You can't forget Chris Farley.

Hell yeah...the golf is hilarious. DL this people, I've heard tons of stand-up comedy shows and this is easily one of the most brilliant shows ever.

Just use whatever you like. You hear their style, imitate it, and mold it to fit your purpose.

For instance, if you were using Jerry Seinfeld, you would learn to just notice things that happen everyday and comment about something odd about it.

You just learn the style. Don't steal the actual material.

My point to that was that you don't have to worry about offending women with your humor if you are making your own jokes, but imitating a comedic style.
