Okay, so I am auditioning for a regional production of You Can't Take it With You and I was looking for some comedic monologues and/or a funny female scene that I can piece together to make a monologue, BUT THERE ARE LIKE NO TRUELY FUNNY FEMALE CHARACTERS (or maybe I am just looking in the wrong place. Either way I just wanted to see who you guys thought some of the funniest female characters in stage play history were.

There are many female monologues that are comedic.  Where are you looking?

The Little Dog Laughed has a plethora of them.

I think April's "butterfly" story in Company is very funny.

Shirley Valentine has some stuff, reportedly.

The Search for Intelligent Life In the Universe is a one woman show with some great monologues, check out the ones by/for Trudy.

If you're younger and trying for a more mature character, Ms. Darbus's opening monologue in the stage version of High School Musical is actually really good.

Stephanie's little first scene monologue from NINE.

Also, from a film, the whole "I'm Not Bad" speech that Jessica Rabbit gives in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
