Jimmy Carr - can’t stand him.

Bobby Davro was booked to do a corporate thing I was at. He was so cringe. Shite jokes no one laughed at, it was the worst day ever. He was being a quiz show host and our team deliberately answered all the questions wrong so we could get away from him. Shudder.

A few year ago at, 'Miss Def world', a competition for Deaf people with mostly deaf people in the audience was readyt o go with a deaf comedian, at the last minute the hosts dropped them and brought in Bobby Davro.

So with a mainly deaf audience what did Bobby Davro do? He tried to start a sing along. I think being Deaf was probably a good thing that evening.

Phil Jupitus

Thanks, forgot him

Whenever he is on QI he is usually OTT and very "me! me! me!" - and not funny

im with you, won’t watch that one series of TM cos he’s on it, so disappointed they signed him up.

Sarah Pascoe
Josh wittingham or whatever his name is.

And the worst... Ed Gamble. Hes a vile human.

I've met Ed Gamble a few times and he was rather pleasant each time. What makes him "vile"?

Catsmere · 08/10/2023 02:56

Benny Hill. Revolting.

I used to love Dave Allen but looking at his stuff now ... so much hasn't aged well.

Now that did make me giggle 😁

soupweather · 08/10/2023 07:09

I don’t find any of them funny with the exception of Kevin Bridges and Billy Connolly.

ZebraLyghts · 08/10/2023 07:19

I'm not a fan of most stand up generally but I can't stand Sarah Millican. She's just like "Oooh us women like cake don't we". And her voice is like nails on a blackboard

pilates · 08/10/2023 07:32

How funny Zebra, she has the same effect on me

HelpMeGetThrough · 08/10/2023 07:40

I can understand people saying Michael McIntyre. We saw him at the O2 and he was highly polished and super scripted and didn't deviate from it, his DVD was being filmed. He was funny though.

Saw him again a couple of years later at Plymouth Pavilions when he was doing his "warm up" shows and he was so bloody funny, especially when he went off script. Then saw the DVD version of the tour, again filmed at the O2 and it wasn't half as good as what we saw at Plymouth.

MyCircumference · 08/10/2023 08:38

shout out to @queenoftheharpies

The office. I like Ricky gervais as a comedian but that show is absolutely shit to me I don't get why everyone loves it

I love The Office. UK & American.

TheHouseonHauntedHill · 08/10/2023 12:37

Frankie Boyle.
I actually feel revulsion when I see him.
After his atrocious comments about people with disabilities I don't know how he was ever allowed on TV again.

Jimmy carr, makes me feel awful.

PurplePanther1 · 08/10/2023 13:57

Judi Love - I can't believe nobody else has mentioned her.

AmIAutumnalNow · 08/10/2023 15:26

Trickofthetrade · 07/10/2023 22:53

Sarah Millican, Sarah Pascoe, Rosie Jones .

Rosie jones.

Not sure what's funny about her at all

SinnerBoy · 08/10/2023 16:42

Michael Mackintyre is about as funny as conjunctivitis. A silly, posh tosser, whose main act seems to be poncing about with his arse jutting back, T Rex hands and a stupid, squeaky voice.

Dawn French.

Sacha Baron Cohen, he's just a cringe-inducing bell end.

Alan Fucking Carr. Why? He's an oxygen thief.

GarlicBroccolini · 08/10/2023 19:47

I have no idea why Rosie Jones has a career as a comedian. Incredibly unfunny. Can’t bear to watch her when she comes on the tele. Even worse when she pops up on a podcast.

Nish Kumar is insufferable, another one I can’t stand.

Rhys Nicholson has a pretty funny show on Netflix.
