For me right now, Stephen K Amos is my favourite. Seen him live three times now, great guy.
Least funny is Miranda in her series "Miranda" - my message to her: stick to,stand up love, it suits you much better!
Russell Howard 😕 failed childrens tv presenter so went into 'comedy'
Best has got to be Lee Evans or Stephen Lee for me
Favourite: Bill hicks
Least: Peter Kay
Favourite is probably Ross Noble and least favourite is Shappi Khorsandi.
Favourite: Michael MacIntyre and The Pub Landlord
Least Favourite: Eddie Izzard & Stewart Lee.
Reginald d hunter is doing it for me ATM.
Least funny - frankie Boyle
best - peter kay or mickey flanagan
least - lee evans (EDIT: and frankie boyle 😀
saw Reg D Hunter-- he was up there with the best- there are so many crap ones you could fill the albert hall
Franky Boyle sucks.
Al Murray makes me laugh.
Fav are Frankie Boyle, jimmy Carr, John bishop, Greg Davies, Jack Whitehall
Least fav ShappiKhorsandi. She's Iranian you know, she's also a woman in case you didn't get that. Stuart Lee
Reg D Hunter, Bill Bailey or Rich Hall possibly favourite. Can't stand Julian Clary or Michael Macintyre.
I'm mostly loving Rhod Gilbert at the moment.
Dunno as I have a 'least favourite'. I tend to ignore the ones I don't like.
Love - Frank Skinner & Stuart Lee
Hate - John Bishop & Paddy McGuiness
Currently like John Bishop but he is appearing too much on TV and that play he did at Xmas, The Panto maybe, lost him a lot of credit.
Worst is Miranda get her off the TV and any form of entertainment just awful.
Most: Henning Wehn
Least: Sue Perkins.
Generally dont watch TV, so my comedians are R4 ones.
Best - Rhod Gilbert
Worst - David Cameron
most favourite - ben elton circa 1982 - 1990.
least favourite - ben elton ever since.
Best: Bill Hicks R.I.P.
Worst: Fat bag Miranda. Why does being fat stupid and clumsy make you funny. If this was true walking down the local high street would be hilarious.
Current Fav - Greg Davies - Saw him live last year...weren't sure what to expect but found him very funny and a genuinely affable chap
Current Least Fav - Katherine Ryan - She been on Mock The Week, 8 Out Of 10 Cats etc recently. Not funny imo
Like Frankie Boyle, Kevin Bridges
Dislike Jimmy Carr
Best: Stewart Lee
Worst: Frankie Boyle
Is Frankie Boyle a comedian? I thought comedians were meant to be funny.
Bestest - Barry Cryer, Tim B-T and Graeme Garden. And Colin Sell, of course.
Favourite - David Sedaris.
Or if stand up, Stewart Francis, Tim Vine or Kevin Bridges.
And I like Miranda. 😀
Least favourite - Sarah Millican.
She's ok, but she's been on every single TV programme for the last 3 years.
Can't stand Frankie Boyle, Jimmy Carr, Michael Macintyre, Russell Howard, Andy Parsons or Chris Addison.
I can't believe nobody has yet suggested Brendan O'Carroll as the worst.
The worst is clearly Andrew Dice Clay and anyone who nominates anyone else clearly hasn't been unfortunate enough to have seen even a minute of his material.
Best is tricky. Lots to choose from.
If I met John Bishop I'd probably shoot him in the face (but then I have a pathological hatred of anything from Merseyside). If he was with Michael Macintyre, I'd stripe 'em both. Then Frankie Boyle.
However, I would let Ross Noble, Lee Mack and Al Murray bring me tea and biscuits.
Stoner
- really? Heard him a couple of times on R4, and just don't get it?Most: Henning Wehn
Best, mmmm so many to choose from and echo a lot of the above. On reflection, Bill Hicks, Rhod Gilbert, Jimmy Carr, Sean White to name a few.
I can't believe nobody has yet suggested Brendan O'Carroll as the worst.
This. I absolutely detest the man.
Liking, Stewart Francis, Shaun Lock, Bill Hicks (when he was still with us), Jack Dee in his hay day.
Not so keen on, Michael Macintyre, Russell Howard, Shappi...
I can't believe nobody has yet suggested Brendan O'Carroll as the worst.
sorry, never heard of him.
Harry Hill is awful, had the misfortune to see him before his Fame with TV, biggist laugh was a heckler telling him as he walked off stage, to 'get a haircut'
Another fan of Frank Skinner
I would pay to be allowed to execute Roy Chubby Brown
Least Fav: Michael Macintyre, John Bishop, Miranda Hart -I've seen a funnier stone than her
Favs: Rich Hall, Rhod Gilbert, Reginald D Hunter
Dunno if he's strictly a comedian, but Alan Carr really makes me grind my teeth. No real favourite
Favourite - Bill Bailey, Jim Jefferies, Kevin Bridges. The second gave the finest stand up performance I have ever seen whilst being so drunk he couldn't stand up.
Least - Chubby Brown is just appalling, Miranda I wouldn't even describe as a comedian, Andy Parsons is also very unfunny IMO.
Fav - Marcus Brigstocke
Least Fav - Frankie Boyle, Jimmy Carr, Chris Ramsey
Favourites: Sean Locke, Al Murray, Greg Davies, Simon Day.
Worst: Jim Davidson or anyone of that ilk.
Ross Noble gave the best standup performance I've ever seen. Reginald D Hunter probably the worst.
I love Simon Munnery. He's the definition of hit and miss, but somehow it's the misses that make the hits so good.
sorry, never heard of him.
If I mention "Mrs Brown's Boys" would that help? (I had to google)
Favourites: Jack Dee, Ardal O'Hanlon, Rhod Gilbert, Bill Bailey
Least favourite: Michael McIntyre, Jim Davidson (and all like him). I also can't watch Tommy Cooper - how anyone can find him a "legend" is beyond me, the guy was cringeworthy.
Honourable mentions have to go to Ronnie Barker and David Jason for being the best in TV comedy.
I tell you what though: Miranda Hart must have the best agent in the business. To get someone that unfunny, and that untalented, so much work is nothing short of a miracle. Perhaps she sold her soul, or something.
Funniest: Dara O'Briain; Rhod Gilbert; Rich Hall; Reg D. Hunter; Milton Jones is quite amusing; Bill Bailey. Do they have to be current? Morecambe and Wise.
Least funny: Roy Chubby Brown, Jim Davidson, and anyone of their ilk. Most female comedians these days, with the possible exception of Sarah Millican: Sorry to be sexist, but to spend all your time wittering on about periods and getting a boyfriend does not cut it. Who is that other one who's sole repertoire consists of doing impressions of her Jamaican mother? Oh, and I can't watch Lee Evans either.
stewart lee for best
Jack Whitehall is my least favourite at the moment. The jokes seem very weak, I can imagine him being popular at student nights but can't understand how he has become main stream popular.
Favourite- Billy Connelly from back in the day
Worst- that Iranian bird.
Fav ..Eddie Izzard .best live act I have seen.
Worst .. The very overrated ..Lee Evans
Can't believe it was a whole page before anyone mentioned Jim Davidson. Yes I suppose he is y least favourite. And Joe Pasquale.
I quite like that Henning Wehn off the radio, Rich Hall and Ross Noble.
However the great thing about Russel Howard's Good news is that watching it I discovered the truly extraordinary [url= http://www.reggiewatts.com/ ]Reggie Watts.[/url] 😀
crazy-legs - Member
Favourites: Jack Dee, Ardal O'Hanlon
Did you know Ardal has just announced a new tour?
Anyway, mine-
Have to go current & old, as per
Fave current: Micky Flanegan (despite the fact that he's every-bloody-where
Fave old: Alexei Sayle - just the funniest live comedian ever (and I have seen em all!). Physical pain after the gig from laughing so damn hard. & Frank Skinner - fantastic live (dunno what he'd be like now)
Least fave old: Bob Monkhouse (just his face makes me cringe and his delivery: shite)
Least fave current: Shappi. Just not funny.
I like Frankie Boyle, but just cos he winds so many people up.
The OP's choice is very odd - Stephen K Amos - real MOR, unfunny stuff in the Bobby Davro league (that's a real league you know) IMO.
