If this is similar to the dinner party where you can invite both living or dead people:

David Mitchell
Sean Locke
Sarah Millican
Trevor Noah

JazzyAmbs · 16/04/2026 19:16

Harry Enfield, Chris Rock, Robert Webb. and maybe throw a new one in like NoHun just because he’s so raw around the edges I think he’d make some of the others squirm! Years ago I would have said Lenny Henry but I don’t find him funny any more and I don’t think he wants to be!

Matt Berry
Eric Morcombe
Bob Mortimer
Victoria Wood

And a comedian I can’t quite remember the name of, Nicholas de Santos, maybe

Mel and Sue (I couldn’t have one without the other so Im counting them as one!)
Lee Mack

Really hard to narrow down to four but I think I would choose

Julian Clary
Romesh Ranganathan
Mel Geidroyc
and one of Alan Carr, Bob Mortimer or David Mitchell

Arlanymor · 16/04/2026 19:19

Four isn't enough!

Bob Mortimer
Ricky Gervais
Melissa McCarthy
French and Saunders (yes I know it's five but my dining table seats six including me!)

Waitingfordoggo · 16/04/2026 19:19

Bob Mortimer
Ricky Gervais (I don’t think he’d necessarily make me laugh loads as I prefer his writing to his stand-up, but I think he’d be an interesting conversationalist)
The late, great Sean Lock and Rik Mayall.
