Ooh, there's some good ones mentioned here.
Bob Mortimer, Richard Osman and Katherine Ryan as above,
Jennifer Lawrence & Emma stone, Liza Tarbuck
Sean Lock I reckon would have the place rolling.
Would any of those get pissed and give us a good sing along on the karaoke? Who's funny and can sing? Oh I know! Paloma Faith.

Graham Norton & Grace Dent.

Probably Ricky Gervais. Every good local pub needs a humourous personality. Not exactly an in depth conversation holder perhaps. Stephen Fry would be perhaps an interesting person to hold an in depth detailed conversation with.
