Unfunny comedians

[TheTecknician]

We've covered lousy actors and questionable singers. A further spin-off: who really isn't that funny, past or present? I offer:

Hale and Pace
Freddie Starr
Lenny Henry

Mean-spirited, I know.

On the plus side, I did like Jimmy Tarbuck. I'm probably being unfashionable but his delivery as a stand-up was perfect, even if some of the jokes wouldn't go down well today.

One I forgot. Alexi Sayle. He was unfunny as the landlord in "The Young Ones" and has gone down hill from there on. Political ranting is not comedy.

I gather he's turned to writing now. I for one am not sorry.

He didn't go to Oxford, but yes he is clever. He studied Philosophy at UCL. I didn't like The Office but I think Afterlife is brilliant.

He doesn't do panel shows because he doesn't need the exposure or the money. He's said many at time that he prefers stand up to panel shows. You may not find him funny, and that's fine, everyone has their own tastes, but to say he's not funny is incorrect. Millions find him hilarious, which is why he regularly sells out huge arenas....

The cheeky girls sold out venues. It doesn’t makes them great musicians…..

I think most panel shows are more scripted and less spontaneous than they appear

late to the thread but whomever thinks any of these are even amusing but keeps putting them on our screens, should be made redundant. Numpties 😂

Rosie Jones
Sara Pascoe
Romesh Ranganathan
Shaparak Khorsandi
Alan Carr
Nish Kumar
David Walliams
John Richardson
John Bishop
‎Aisling Bea
Meera Syal
Ben Elton

Fatiha El-Ghorri

Nick Dixon.

I've watched Headliners on GB News for years. Nick Dixon isn't funny. I only realised he identifies(?) as a comedian when I looked him up.

how could I have forgotten Richard Ayoade, dire 😒
