To ask which comedians you think are hot?

[SpanishDanceTroupe]

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 )
• 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 also used to love Rob Newman and Sean Hughes when I was a teenager.

Can’t believe not one person has said Rob Beckett. He is my comedian crush.

The late Jeremy Hardy.

WHY IS STEPHEN COLBERT NOT ON THIS LIST YET?!

Stephen Colbert

Yes @Welshmumma92 I was going to say Chris Ramsey!

Richard Ayoade lives on my road but in one of the houses at the 'posh' end.

David Mitchell
Ben Miller
Adam Hills (not with the beard though)
Rhod Gilbert

Oh yes, Chris Ramsey! When he was on Strictly, I felt like I was the only one who was fixated on him and not Kelvin Fletcher, who I thought looked like he'd been made by Nick Park.

Jack Dee, Lee Evans! Also... Michael Mcintyre, Ricky Gervais and Ross Noble! Love a funny person... also bit of a crush on Zoe Lyons and Susan Calman.

Apologies for all the exclamation marks, got myself rather flustered

Rik Mayall
Greg Davies
Lee Mack
Jack Dee
Frank Skinner

David Mitchell and Richard Ayoade.

Katherine Ryan talked a while ago about Beta males on her podcast and it really put me off James Acaster. I’m not sure if that who she was actually talking about but that’s who it sounded like to me and it made me look at him differently (possibly unfairly)

Nick Helm, Greg Davies, Rhod Gilbert, Ada Buxton

Ha at seeing Mike Wozniak mentioned so many times - he lives in the same city as me, used to see him and his family often before lockdown

Russell Kane. So not my type, thin, hyper and camp. But I find him utterly compelling, can’t takes my eyes off him when he’s on tv.
Lee Mack but only since the beard.
And yes yes yes to Rob Newman.

To be honest, none of them.

**Katherine Ryan talked about Beta males in the comedy industry - not just in general!

Oh, Sean Hughes. Adored him as a teenager.

Also Paul Merton. Big crush since my teenage years

Had a thing for Jim Jeffries for years...

Rob Delaney
Richard ayoade

Can't believe some of these! I like a funny man but some of these do not need the ego boost of someone fancying them! How can you fancy jack Whitehall given his comedy is essentially about being an overgrown teenage boy?!

I agree with rhod Gilbert and Ed gamble. And Noel fielding. I wouldn't say no to James Acaster either. I'm sure there are others but I can't think of them

@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? Really?!

I had massive crushes on Kenny Everett and Harry Enfield as a teen.

Nowadays its Greg Davis and Adam Hills.

@converseandjeans - I can understand Henning Wehn. He's got a real sparkle in his eyes and a great grin. And he's hilarious. Which not all comedians are.

Henning Wehn seems like a genuinely lovely guy though, and he's seems so clever and funny. His voice is really smooth as well, you could listen to him talk for ages

Some men in comedy seem to have a very high opinion of themselves, and their comedy. I get vibes they wouldn't treat you very well, but Henning would
