Who's your favourite comedian?

[TonyThreePies]

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

I got asked out by Rob Newman. Just saying. He's very clever. And Patrick Marber. He's very clever too. Can't believe the choices I made....

Mickey Flanagan

Henning Wehn.

I love Henning saw him live and he was really nice to everyone who wanted his autograph at the end and took the time to talk to everyone. He is massively underrated and didn't think anyone on here would even have heard of him.

Jo Brand.

Ed Byrne
Russel Howard
Sarah Millican
Dara O'Brien

The dude with the loud shirts and messy hair ( ?) He is so unexpected, and clever rather than rude

Sophie Duker
Rosie Jones
Joe Lycett
Catherine Bohart

@TheWayTheLightFalls - so glad to hear someone else say this about Reginald D Hunter. Me and DH saw him many years ago having found him funny on TV panel shows but his show was torture. It was all about his paranoia and conspiracy theories. So weird and uncomfortable. It actually put us off going to live comedy for ages.

Live stand ups that have been the best for me are Rob Brydon, Victoria Wood and have a massive soft spot for Harry Hill, having seen him 25 years ago when he was just starting out and several times since. Love the fact that he's not nasty about others but can still make me roar with laughter. See also Vic and Bob - they reran the last series of this on New Year's Eve and our DC were speechless at me and their DD crying with laughter

Stewart Francis?!

Oh, no, not him

Milton Jones!!!!!

Peter Kay

Rhod Gilbert - I hurt with laughter when I saw him live with the book of John.
Micky Flanagan
Rosie Jones

Sarah Millican was hilarious live
Jason Manford

Loved Ben Elton and Jo Brand back in the early 90’s when in uni and Joan Collins fan club now I’m really thinking about it. More recently no one has come close to Dara O’Briain for me his ability to weave in elements from audience throughout the lentgh of a show is incredible. So clever and funny too.

John Robins is very good live. And Rhod Gilbert's stand up about an airline losing his luggage makes me cry with laughter no matter how many times I watch it.

Rob Brydon. Brilliant standup.

DH's favourite too. Saw him live just before lockdown 1 last February- he was great!

Lee Mack
David Mitchell
Sean Lock
Any if the WILTY/Taskmaster regulars.

Of*

Saw Lee Evans live & was in pain from laughing!

Jasper Carrott
Peter Kay
Frank Skinner
Jack Dee
Victoria Wood
Sarah Millican

UnalliterativeGeorge I’ve seen Greg live three times and he is ruddy brilliant. You deffo need to go see him. I love his sitcoms too but cannot bear to watch Taskmaster as I think it’s just not funny!

I am so glad to see Dave Allen mentioned so many times , i love him but I get that he is not everyone's taste.
victora wood
Les Dawson , esp when he is at the piano, nobody can play the wrong note so well !
but I think my all time favourite is Mike Harding , his story telling is so good , you want to believe them things really did happen .

In a slightly different field Spike Milligan was a pure genius

Hannah Gadsby
Sophie Haagen
Sindhu Vee
Jo Brand
Victoria Wood
Vicki Pepperdine and Julia Davis as Joan and Jerricha

I like a middleclass white boy standup.
Micheal MacIntyre
