Did consider Kevin Bridges, but we are a hoose rice family, so he probably wouldn't attend.

It's impossible to chose and I can't decide who would make the best 4 as a combo.

I love lots of the people already chosen and

would pick Sean Lock if he could come back. Also really enjoy watching anything with Diane Morgan and Jimmy Carr.

A few names not mentioned who I think would be interesting and funny at dinner but who aren't big stand up comics are Rowan Atkinson, Phoebe Waller Bridge and Sue Perkins.

I also think I would have a real laugh with Alan Carr and Graham Norton.
