Right, it's 2 in the morning, I've drank too much coffee in a bid to stay up and finish this essay, and I cannot stop thinking about the Richard Osman sex dream thread from the other day.
Richard is not my type despite the very large hands but it has got me thinking about comedy-adjacent people who I think are Quite Fit, and I need to know I'm not alone.

My picks:

  • Richard Ayoade - awkward and funny and lovely and hot
  • James Acaster - exactly the same reasons (I have a type Blush)
  • Mike Wozniak - I was lucky enough to go to the Taskmaster recordings in October and after seeing him on there I've secretly thought of him as quite attractive. Think it's the moustache, but I'm usually anti-facial hair so I'm not quite sure where that's come from...

Please entertain me during my coffee-fuelled mania by telling me your comedy crushes. I can't be the only one can I?

I think Jon Richardson is cute is a geeky way

curiouscatgotkilled · 26/02/2021 14:37

I had huge crushes on Sean Hughes RIP :( and Steve Coogan when I was younger.

Now, Rob Delaney (so hot)

Also Rik Mayal also RIP :( and Aid Edmonson both gorgeous. I watched the documentary on Tony Slattery, so interesting and sad. He was beautiful too.

curiouscatgotkilled · 26/02/2021 14:37

Oh and Yes to Ben WIlibond too, love him in Ghosts.

@TartanCurtains

I came back to check how many people I had to share John Robins with (aside from his partner).

Just you and I @SpanishDanceTroupe! I'm sure we can work out a timeshare agreement 😁

Only if I get weekends Grin

does Tom Rosenthal count? 😳

Paintedglass · 26/02/2021 15:08

I second Joe Wilkinson. Had a thing for Jimmy Carr for a while but it wore off. He is funny though.

Twobrews · 26/02/2021 15:12

Sid James?!! Shock

He was probably one of my first crushes!

CounsellorTroi · 26/02/2021 15:15

I had a crush on Jim Dale! He was another of these geeky types!

IEat · 26/02/2021 15:18

@heatherhoneys

Hugh Dennis
Definitely
Caplin · 26/02/2021 15:21

Living in Edinburgh and being a festival aficionado I have seen most of the people mentioned in bars, clubs and small venues.

The only one I find hot is Joel Dommett, and he isn’t that funny....Aisling Bea is pretty hot.

Caplin · 26/02/2021 15:25

Actually, I forgot about Reginald D Hunter, his voice does it for me.

louderthan · 26/02/2021 15:25

Joel Domett, although he is bloody everywhere now
Tom Rosenthal

louderthan · 26/02/2021 15:26

haha yes, Sid James!

RedRec · 26/02/2021 15:37

@CounsellorTroi Jim Dale for me too. I have loved him since I was a teenager.

IronyFreeAnnie · 26/02/2021 15:45

Charlie Brooker (maybe not technically a comedian but close enough)
Jon Stewart
John Oliver
Seth Myers

Blerg · 26/02/2021 15:47

No one has said Nish Kumar! He’s very handsome and laughs uproariously.

Greg Davies has something about him. If he turned out to be awful I’d be disappointed 😄

BobbitWormNightmares · 26/02/2021 16:01

Clearly the saying "laugh them into bed" is true, I thought it was just me!

Ones I haven't seen mentioned....
Adam Buxton -
I used to quite like Alan Davies, I do like a lisp!

And yes to Ben Whathisname from HH!

He he

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 26/02/2021 16:09

Also Jon Richardson. He looks a bit like my husband, but he’d actually do the washing up
He probably wouldn’t wash up but, at the very least, he’d stack the dishwasher properly. Wink
