[Sean1875]

Favourite: Kevin Bridges

Least favourite: (As mentioned before) All women comedians.
That Andy Parsons guy off mock the week, the fact he tries to get laughs by the way he looks and wanders out into the performance area with his stupid wee face on just makes me want to punch my screen.

[Sylar]

Favourites:

Dara O'Brian - seen him live twice and his stand up is great - he's superb on MTW.

Stephen Fry - I think he's very witty - nice to have someone who's both funny and intelligent with it, rather than aimlessly offensive.

Russell Howard - Never used to like him, but I've warmed to him in recent years having seen him do a stand up routine or two.

Dislikes:

Jimmy Carr - I just don't find him funny at all.

Ricky Gervais - I find him positively boring. The Office is perhaps my most hated "show".

Frankie Boyle - Used to find him funny, but went to see him live - he was uncomfortable, didn't deal with heckles well and was controversial for the sake of it. His stuff has gone too far past what I personally enjoy.

Andy Parsons - There are a myriad of posters on here who make me laugh more regularly than this guy - his method of delivery is as much to blame as his sincere lack of "funniness".

[Kaiser_Sauzee]

The Good
Doug Stanhope
Ricky Gervais
Dara O'Briain
Jack Dee
Frankie Boyle
Hugh Dennis

The Bad
Sean Locke (weak as piss)
Gina Yashere (I come from a large Nigerian family)
Russell Howard (Student icon. Says it all)

[Hibbie_Cameron]

Good reason for me to bring up my utter dislike of Peter Kay.

Over-rated, predictable and just a total erse imo

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Not sure if he counts, but, I wish Brucie would just jack it in!

[Geo_1875]

Hate Ricky Gervais, Frankie Boyle and Hugh Dennis with a passion. Not keen on Michael McIntyre. The guys got family connections to a load of comedy writers and comes over like he's reading the news. No personality at all.

Like Lee Mack. Wasn't too keen on him until I saw his live show on TV ans was very impressed.

[ArabHibee]

Michael McIntyre = nodding dog :agree:

Does my nut in!!!! :brickwall:brickwall:brickwall:brickwall:brickwall

Don't like your one liners then? :greengrin

[Betty Boop]

I love Lee Nelson, his Well Good Show is hilarious. :greengrin

[.Sean.]

In particular I like russel brand and the pub landlord. On the flipside, I cannot abide that wee gob***** Lee Evans.

[matty_f]

Like: Sean Locke, Milton Jones, Stu Francis, Sarah Millican, Kevin Bridges, Russell Brand

I know it's all about opinions and that, but without being overly serious here - how anyone could not find The Office funny is sorely lacking a sense of humour. Up there with the likes of Only Fools and Horses in terms of all time tv comedy greats.

I have no strong opinion about Ricky Gervais either way. Just don't consider him to be a comedian, more of a comedy actor (not a very funny one). The Office doesn't do it for me but I prefer jokes and one-liners to the comedy of embarrassment.

[Hainan Hibs]

Female comedians are about as funny as tooth ache.

[Bunter]

It may only be one female comedian but obviously the majority of posters weren't at the Supporters' Club POTY bash. JoJo Sutherland brought the house down. An extremely funny woman. Intelligent humour with a quality left hook. :agree: Ripped Petrie a new one quite expertly.

As previously mentioned, Dara O'Briain is absolute comedy brilliance.
Jim Jefferies (Aussie one before anyone tries to be smart) :greengrin
Jerry Sadowitz, Daniel Sloss, Simon Williams, Roger Monkhouse, Stu Francis & Tom Staed are all up there.

My tip for the fringe this year: Jason Cook. Seen him the last three years. Hilarious stuff.

Gina Yashere, Andi Osho, Ava Vidal et al are IMO one trick ponies. Ethnic families. Still in effect racist jokes, but obviously you can't accuse them of it.

Milton Jones for me just isn't funny in the slightest. I just don't understand the uproar around him. Admittedly he can come out with the occasional line but on the whole, definitely not for me.

:top marks
I also think 'extras' has got to be up their with the greats. Fair enough it didn't get as much publicity but it was hilarious and some of the guest actors they got on it was quite incredible. Ben Stiller, Vinnie Jones, Samuel L Jackson, Daniel Radcliffe, Orlando Bloom, and lets not forget Robert De Niro :agree:

Jim Jefferies (Aussie one before anyone tries to be smart) :greengrin
I often refer to him as 'Jim Jeffries, not the ****y one' :wink:

Jason Cook. Can you give me an idea what he's like? What sort of stuff he does?

Milton Jones. I think he's funny on MOTW but dunno what he would be like as a stand up in his own show.
