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?

Marcus Brigstock John Bishop Mo Gilligan Joel Dommett Stephen Mangan

I loved the masked singer simply because I got to see Joel and Mo on the same programme 😍

I thought Mo was a footballer 😳

I have to keep trotting out David Mitchell, hot as hell. It even rhymes.
Jon Richardson is also rather lovely, although his wife Lucy Beaumont is lovelier still. I saw him live in 2004 and have had the hots for him since Grin

When he was younger Billy Connelly. Funny but still earthy etc. He used to be a welder.

Also it is at the other end of the spectrum but a younger Eddie Izzard. I think it must of been the effect Rocky Horror had on me.

Theyrenotdrawsmate · 05/04/2021 02:02

Adam Hills for me!

EdinaMonsoon · 05/04/2021 02:44

I'm surprised at the attention Ed Byrne gets. I liked him in the 90s but he strikes me as someone who thinks women should be fawning all over him.

On my "absolutely yes" list...
Adam Hills
Richard Ayoade - spotted him once on a Greek beach...he gave the most brilliant smile and I thought my knees might buckle Grin
Mo Gilligan
Jack Whitehall
John Bishop
Rob Delaney (looks like he would be pure filth Grin )
Rik Mayall
Ade Edmondson
Josh Widdecombe - I really can't explain this one at all!
Romesh
Micky Flanagan (I'm cringing typing that but there's something about him).
Jennifer Saunders

Richard Ayoade
Tim Minchin
Rik Mayall
Jeremy Hardy
Matthew Banyon
Lee Mack
Steve Coogan
Dylan Moran
Tommy Tiiernan
Bob Mortimer
Rich Hall

It's really interesting how humour really does it for so many women. If you asked me to name a musician or Hollywood actor I fancy I'd come up with a list of one or two at best. There's so many comedians I like.

Iamtooknackeredtorun · 05/04/2021 03:14

Actually I'm going to add Ricky Gervais too.

@msby

Rhod Gilbert and Greg Davies
Same. I’d also add Chris O’Dowd, though I suppose he’s more a comic actor. All three, utterly woof.
Einszwei · 05/04/2021 05:02

Another for Chris O'Dowd ... ultimate celebrity crush

Matt Berry, my god he is something quite special.

Also have a bit of a thing for Sean Lock, I find him totally hilarious and attractive.

tortoiselover100 · 05/04/2021 06:39

Joel Dommett! What a bod!

@EdinaMonsoon I feel the same about Micky Flanagan! I’d never admit it irl Blush he’s also a good 20 years older than me. I already said Adam Hills but I also quite like Greg Davies, Kevin Bridges, Joel Dommett and Chris O’Dowd. Something about a funny man. I also think to be that funny they have to be pretty clever and switched on.

@RubyandPearl

Sean Hughes 😍
Oh my goodness - he was beautiful. I went to see his live show and he signed my book, I swooned!
Alittlenonsensenowandthen · 05/04/2021 14:55

Back in the day, Sean Hughes(what happened ti him? Saw him twice). And definitely John Bishop. Think it's the accent, or the twinkly eyes....
