Queen of Comedy vs. Queen of England
As we know, Sommore is the reigning Queen of Comedy. But what does it mean to be the Queen?
Sommore has been wearing the crown for more than 20 years now, which is pretty impressive, but too really gauge her royal status, we thought we would see how she stacks up against Queen Elizabeth, who is the longest-lived and longest-reigning British monarch. She is the longest-serving female head of state in world history, and the world’s oldest living monarch, longest-reigning current monarch, and oldest and longest-serving current head of state.
Sommore’s reviews are consistently positive. Elizabeth on the other hand has, at times, been criticized by the press, most notably as documented by Wikipedia in 1992, which she dubbed her annus horribilis, and 1997, following the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, her former daughter-in-law. (As far as annus horribilis go, 2020 is looking like a strong contender for Sommore – and just about everyone else.)
