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?

Noel Fielding
Rhod Gilbert
Jack Whitehall
Richard Ayoade
Alan Davies

and Ed Byrne. I've met him. He's every bit as lovely as I thought he would be.

Love Greg Davis esp as ken in Cuckoo for some reason .Also Jack Whitehall as well .Also adore Dawn French and Miranda is so funny and kind too I think . We all need more humour now for sure!

CounsellorTroi · 26/02/2021 09:49

I’m not sure if I mentioned John Bishop - really blokey blokes who are vegetarian really do it for me!

MrsScarlett007 · 26/02/2021 09:51

How could I forget my girl crush on Diane Morgan aka Philomena Clunk! She’s just brilliant!

RedRec · 26/02/2021 09:54

I have fancied Frank Skinner and Paul Merton for years. Still do.
Now also love Ed Byrne, Reece Shearsmith and Rhod Gilbert.
Used to find Adam Hills attractive until he grew that truly hideous beard.

ImnotCarolineHirons · 26/02/2021 09:56

Rhod Gilbert. I always instantly think "he'd be totally filthy fun in bed" whenever I see or hear him. Love the accent. Proper fanny gallops.

Adam Hills, seems like such a great person as well as clever, politically aware and funny. Ding dong.

RedRec · 26/02/2021 09:59

Forgot to mention Mat Baynton from Horrible Histories. God, especially doing the Pachacuti song. Please watch that video, people! Like a pp I think I enjoyed Horrible Histories more than my kids did.

@Mummadeze

Can’t believe not one person has said Rob Beckett. He is my comedian crush.
Me too. He's very funny and cute.

Tlollj · 26/02/2021 10:20

The lip bite in the 4 George's song too...
Itsokthanks · 26/02/2021 10:30

This Gilbert and Noel Fielding.

peachgreen · 26/02/2021 10:42

Rob Delaney too, I love him so much. Also yes to all the Horrible Histories lot, especially Baynton and Willbond.

peachgreen · 26/02/2021 10:45

Would love to know the story Katherine told about beta males in comedy - I can't find it anywhere.

gassylady · 26/02/2021 10:57

Just me for Dara O’Briain then?! Clever and funny also a yes to Richard Herring after last series Taskmaster

TheCrowening · 26/02/2021 11:05

Tim Minchin, though when we met him he said my husband was hot. No mention of me 😂 actually my husband looks a bit like him so perhaps that’s weird anyway.

Daniel Sloss.
Ed Byrne.
Aisling Bea.

I used to fancy Richard Herring until I read his autobiography.

SingleHandSue · 26/02/2021 11:11

I have a thing for Romesh Ranganathan, and recently started thinking that David Mitchell is rather lovely.

What put you off thecrowning?

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 26/02/2021 11:14

I agree that Rob Delaney is very hot, especially his voice. I on/off fancy Ed Byrne, mostly off recently.

Arms from Foil, Arms and Hog. Tall, dark-haired and funny, with dimples. Also far, far too young for me.
