There aren’t a lot of celebrities who blew 2015 as far out of the water as Amy Schumer did.

So why not give some love to all the other funny ladies out there too? Amy may stay your number one, but these seven women comedians will give you as many side-splitting laughing fits as Amy does.

Obvious Child, you’re about to get really excited. Slate is teaming up with the Obvious Child production team again to make a new TV show that’s “like Thelma and Louise — but nobody dies.” Sounds pretty amazing to us. (Photo via Kevin Winter/Getty)

The wait is over! Broad City comes back this month for its third season, and these ladies have been on fire promoting it this past year.
