I saw Kerry Godliman on TV yesterday. I love her, she's so down to earth.
Rob and Romesh - I like them apart but together they're hilarious.
Make me smile this afternoon by telling me about yours Smile

Definitely Lee Evans! His facial expressions crack me up.

TonyThreePies · 27/08/2021 13:37

Ooh yes, I love James Acaster too. I had tickets to see him do stand up once but couldn't go because I was ill. Still regret not going and that was at least 5 years ago!

Tim Vine. First time I saw him on stage, he came on wearing a hat exactly like a football, and said "I keep getting me head kicked in, don't know why!" Both DD and I burst out laughing, which wasn't like us!

Noorandapples · 27/08/2021 14:30

Sean Lock, Sarah Mulligan, Greg Davies, Aisling Bea

Noorandapples · 27/08/2021 14:31

Not Mulligan, Millican

Crinkle77 · 27/08/2021 14:33

Tom Allen cracks me up.

Theblackdogagain · 27/08/2021 14:35

Ed Byrne, seen him live 6 or 7 times, makes me laugh belly laughs everyone. He's got a really dry sense of humour and is easy on the eye.

David O’Doherty
Greg Davies

I used to love Eddie Izzard, but his last two gigs of his I went to were torturous.

John Bishop
Rik Mayall
Joan Rivers

was watching them doing Country last night. I had tears of laughter.....that never happens to me.

Fontella · 27/08/2021 14:55

Tommy Tiernan, Kevin Bridges and Rhod Gilbert.

Sarah Milican i saw her live she was filthy but so funny.

James Acaster is hilarious.

sorrysaywhatnow · 27/08/2021 15:15

Katherine Ryan. I was still laughing days after seeing her live show! Can't wait to go to her new one next year

TheWayTheLightFalls · 27/08/2021 15:21

Paul Smith (from Hot Water).

I’d say the most disappointing/overrated for me was Reginald D. Hunter. Didn’t seem with it when I saw him live.

Very relevant as well nowadays: "Science knows it doesn't know everything; otherwise, it'd stop. But just because science doesn't know everything doesn't mean you can fill in the gaps with whatever fairy tale most appeals to you.”
