I pretty much hate all stand-up, except sometimes like Stuart Lee in small doses. There might be ones I'd like that I've never seen though, I guess.

Least favourite: Michael McIntyre. I find him even more unbearably annoying than most other stand-up comedians.

Favourite comedian/comedy writer of any kind: John Finnemore, by a country mile.

Sorry I should of said stand up and the reason I ask is because I'm bored and self isolating and watching some stand up videos on YouTube. And making sure I haven't missed someone Smile

Just realised this is a depressingly male thread, let me add Jo Brand, Nina Conti, Sindhu Vee and Hannah Gadsby to my favourites

CockleburIck · 25/11/2020 12:19

I don’t much like comedians, though I have laughed at Billy Connelly, Bill Bailey and Rhod Gilbert before. They’re not too sneery, cynical, sexist or sweary. Comedy has to be clever, daft surprising and original to me.

Least favourite... most of the rest of them.

Mick Flanagan is very rude but very funny. I also enjoy Sarah Millican in small doses.

BigSandyBalls2015 · 25/11/2020 12:30

Another Romesh fan here, and Micky Flannagan.

TheFrogsNeedFeeding · 25/11/2020 12:30
