Tell me who your favourite and least favourite comedian is

[justleavemebe]

Favourite - Romesh ranganathan

Least favourite - Eddie Izzard

Favourites: Micky Flannagan, Michelle Wolfe, Suzi Ruffell

Least Favourites: Tim Vine, Jimmy Carr, Milton Jones types as I’m not a fan of the one liners - although they do wear me down and make me laugh eventually They are not bad but it’s just not my thing.

I really dislike Reginald D Hunter. We saw him at a comedy night. He spent his whole set ranting about the tv elite and how he’d decided to not sell his soul to the tv producers and how we were all complicit in the blanding of tv comedy. He cut his set short (thank goodness as he didn’t make any jokes) and brought his mate on. He was appalling - like an angry 70s racist, sexist comedian. Shortly after RDHs’ rant he was never off the tv which ruined lots of comedy programs for us! This must have been over 10 years ago and I’ve still not forgiven him.

My new favourite is Gary Meikle. Seen him live a handful of times and follow him on fb too. Lovely guy! Very much a star for the future.

Someone I don't rate much at all is Eddie Izzard.

Favourite: Lee Evans

Least favourite: Julian Clary. Every single sentence is an unfunny euphemism 🙄.

@justleavemebe

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

Search for Wanda Sykes!

This is my personal favourite -detatchable pussy. Enjoy!

Favourite- Lucy Porter

Least favourite- Brendan O'Carroll (if for this purpose you can call him a comedian).

Favourite: Victoria Wood. I know it all off by heart and can still watch her all day every day.

Least favourite: Lee Evans. Never laughed at anything he has said. But I don’t find physical comedy particularly funny

Favourite - Jo Brand,Bill Bailey,Ben Elton,Jack Dee,Dave Allen,Dylan Moran,Julien Clary,Alan Carr,Paul O'Grady.

Least favourite - Jimmy Carr,Peter Kay,John Bishop,Ross Noble,Billy Connally.

Love David Mitchell, Miles Jupp, Ed Byrne, Stewart Lee. I’ve seen Dara O’Briain a lot but I get fed up with his relentless jokes about porn and gaming.

Hate Jimmy Carr, Russell Brand

Oh and can’t bear Johnny Vegas. 🤢

Favourite: Stewart Lee

Least favourite: Michael McIntyre

I'm going to add Jason Manford. He is funny as fuck live and he has worked his ass off over both lockdowns to bring comedy into our lives. He's done adult comedy nights, children's sessions and been really honest through this pandemic of the highs and lows.
He's very relatable and he is human and fallible as we all are.

Fav - Peter Kay
Least fav- Jim Davidson

Loads of favourites, least favourite, Lee Mack,Johnny Vegas and Micheal Macintyre

Love Janey Godley

Alive

Least favourite - a toss up between Roy Chubby Brown and Jim Davidson

Deceased
Favourite - Victoria Wood
Least favourite - Bernard Manning

Agree with loads of the faves here! Really like Romesh but haven’t watched him in over a year cos he looks too much like my ex. I think the sign I’m finally properly over him is when I can face watching Romesh again!

Aatif Nawaz, Eshaan Akbar and Tez Ilyas are all very funny.

I really don’t like Kevin Bridges, his actual jokes are fine but he laughs after them and it really annoys me! But having said that I haven’t watched him since he was starting out so maybe he doesn’t do it any more.

Oh also like Jason Byrne, can’t remember if he’s been mentioned

I like many. Michael macintyre. Kevin bridges.

Can't think of anyone I detest.

Faves - Peter Kay. Victoria Wood. Milton Jones.

Worst - Jimmy Carr, Frankie Boyle.

Favourite: Chris Ramsey (and his wife Rosie). Their podcast is hilarious.
Least favourite: Jimmy Carr-I'm not a huge fan of sarcastic comedians.

Like Sarah Milligan on TV - Saw her live and hated it. Sadly it's changed how I see her now.

Dislike - Most of the rest. I must be a grinch .

@MedusasBadHairDay

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

Favourite: Greg Davies. My face was still sore the next day from laughing so much when I saw him.

Least favourite: Keith lemon. Do not get the appeal one iota.

I like Mickey Flannigan, can't stand Adam Hills from The Last Leg, can't bear his smug, preachy manner even though I am politically similar.

@Wearywithteens Simon Evans? I saw him live, really good.
