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?

No! Have you read his book? He comes across as a not nice person.
Moulesvinrouge1 · 26/02/2021 07:30

Ahh yes Rik Mayal... as Lord FlashHeart he was DEVASTATING.

LEELULUMPKIN · 26/02/2021 07:32

Conan O'Brien.

OccultGnuAsWell · 26/02/2021 07:32

A definite "yes" to Adam Hills.

I'm a sucker for an accent so definitely Rhod Gilbert.

And early Billy Connolly

TheRaccoon · 26/02/2021 07:32

Ed Gamble is so hot! He’s about the same age as me and sounds like he grew up on the same music so I like to think we would have been friends. Or more than friends 🥰

LakieLady · 26/02/2021 07:34

@Daisychainsandglitter

Ed Byrne
Me too. Grin
Reiningitin · 26/02/2021 07:38

I do have a bit of a thing for John Bishop..

LakieLady · 26/02/2021 07:38

@Pimlicojo

I can't remember his name but the German guy who is sometimes on Would I Lie To You. I find him weirdly attractive.
Henning Wehn?

I couldn't fancy him, but I think he's utterly hilarious.

He's often on the R4 comedy shows that are on before The Archers.

TheOriginalNutty · 26/02/2021 07:40

Got to be Jason Manford

Sparkletastic · 26/02/2021 07:43

Stewart Lee. Always and forever.

Pimlicojo · 26/02/2021 07:43

Lakielady that's him! Henning. I've no idea why I fancy him. Maybe because I find him really funny.

Tiktokersmiracle · 26/02/2021 07:45

Jack Whitehall and Russell Howard
Ding dong

Snoozysnoozy · 26/02/2021 07:45

Katherine Ryan
Ellie Taylor
I'd definitely have the happiest 30 seconds of my life with either of them

Yumyumdindins · 26/02/2021 07:46

Absolutely Ed Gamble. Fancy the pants off him.

Ed and James Acaster do a hilarious podcast called ‘Off Menu’ where they invite other celebs/comedians to talk about their imaginary perfect restaurant and the food they’d eat/drink. It is so so funny.

LunaNorth · 26/02/2021 07:47

Jack Dee.

I saw him on Travelling Man in Naples, and oh man...riding a motorbike, kneading pizza dough...he’s very...capable.

Crispsareafoodgroup · 26/02/2021 07:48

Rhod Gilbert and Greg Davies for me please.

EachBleachBlairTrump · 26/02/2021 07:48

@Pimlicojo do you mean Henning Wehn?. He is brilliant live.
I completely get the James Acaster love, something very appealing about that level of quick wit which implies intelligence.
Also Richard Herring and Stewart Lee, I have a thing about intelligent men and whilst RH seems a much gentler family man, just the way SL's brain works is hugely attractive. He also took a few years out at the height of his popularity because it wasn't fair that his wife want getting to focus on her career as much due to his touring. Both are very pro feminist and politically liberal which again huge plusses for me!

Lorddenning1 · 26/02/2021 07:50

Dara O Briain I have liked him for years

EachBleachBlairTrump · 26/02/2021 07:50

I went to university with Ed Gamble, he was very similar to at least fifty percent of the male population at Durham to be honest. Nice enough but nothing to spark any fires

Blacktothepink · 26/02/2021 07:50

Oh yes Ed Gamble 😜
Also Reece Shearsmith and Greg Davies.

mumjustmum · 26/02/2021 07:51

Greg Davies and Jon Richardson.
