We were lucky to have gone to the channel 4 comedy galas a few years in a row and saw pretty much every comedian mentioned here, albeit in short bursts.
Micky Flanagan is my favourite, I smile from ear to ear when we see him.
We were lucky to see Lee Evans on his final tour and he was truly brilliant. I totally get why he's retired though as he's such a nervous performer.
Saw Peter Kay last year and loved every second. He's a genius and brings so kuch joy. I adore Phoenix Nights, Car Share and the reality show spoof he did. The Amarillo video never fails to make me smile.
So pleased we saw Sean Lock who was effortlessly funny and gone too soon (RIP). If I need cheering up I watch Carrot in a box.
Julian Clary is brilliant but definitely marmite. I love clever innuendo.
I agree with many comments about Jimmy Carr - the one liners wear thin after a while.
Ricky Gervais, although obviously a brilliant comedy writer, is beginning to get samey in his stand ups. His shows are also very short so we just wait until they're on Netflix now. Love his social media posts about his cat 😻
Adore James Acaster as does dd18. We are desperately trying to get tickets.
Ditto Matt Rife - although we'd definitely sit at the back. He's brilliantly quick but ruthless with the audience!
