List: Top Ten Comediennes in the UK
Date: August 2005
Source: Reader's Digest magazine (UK edition)
Base: Poll of more than 4,000 people.
Notes: The actual description used by the Digest for the poll was 'TOP 10 FUNNIEST WOMEN' - so Joanna Lumley, who is mostly considered a 'serious' actress, must be quite chuffed that her 'Ab Fab' performance merits inclusion in this top ten.
