Rosie Jones and Katherine Ryan have me rushing for the off switch on the TV .
Not funny at all and make me get a bit ragey .

Most of the regular faces on Mock the week. Not surprised it was cancelled. Most of them B list

With the exception of Milton Jones who's hilarious

Most of the younger stand-up comedians I hear on the radio these days are completely joyless and unfunny. They sound like they were booked to do the funny keynote speech at some corporate diversity training event. I'm so sick of being lectured in right-think by smug children.
Comedy is meant to have a bit of danger , not just to be a circle jerk of mutual congratulation

To be honest we are a huge comedy fan house and watch more stand ups and comedy shows than anything else. I saw someone mentioned James Acaster!!! How dare you 😂 I've had such a soft spot for him for years. His podcasts are funny and also listen to his Classic Scrapes. I just love him I can't explain it ha ha. I also won't hear a word said against David Mitchell and Rob Bryson. ❤️

Also I do love Kevin Bridges when he's not being too sweary. He reminds me of my late brother in looks and mannerisms so maybe that sways it.

Unpopular opinion but Peter Kay

Back in the olden days when either comedians were funny or I'd laugh at almost anything, I didn't "get" Benny Hill.
Jim Davidson.
Sacha Baron Cohen.
Whoever was on the panel of the only episode I ever watched of GBBO - An Extra Slice. I'd never seen any of them before but they were much worse than Jo Brand, whom I've only occasionally found funny.

Well Stewart Lee would make it a strapline on his next tour:

"Stewart Lee: Who is this cunt ?"
"An eskimo faced cunt from the 80s"
"Terry Christian has let himself go..."

Notice how MN gets a shout at 3:40...

I saw Stewart Lee but I didn't know who he was till I saw the video , I was thinking of Stewart Francis !
