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 don’t really like comedians but I do have a thing for Michael McIntyre - lovely floppy hair!

Another vote for Ed Byrne, met him after one of his gigs, and got a photo with him. Sadly I noticed he is a thin streak of nothing (after a rugby playing husband, its quite noticeable) but still he is lovely!

@unmarkedbythat

I would do Frankie Boyle purely to see what he's like at it.

I reckon he'd be good

They’re hot/attractive because they’re funny.
Most of these look like the elephant man - that’s why they funnied-up.

Oh, Mark Watson too.

Dara O'Briain for me (please)

David Mitchell
Marcus Brigstocke
Mark Watson

I definitely have a thing for nerdy comedians, I'd pick those three over any Hollywood actor any day. Have loved them all since the early noughties.

I am in love with Matt Berry!!!

i also like Jack Whitehall and Russel Howard

Josh Widdicombe! After a steamy dream I genuinely can barely watch him on TV

Oooh just remembered Ryan Stiles from 90's Whose Line Is It Anyway...that'll make my Friday afternoon go a bit quicker swoons

Russell Howard, but only after he started wearing glasses. Swoon.

Patrick Monahan

Don’t get the Acaster lurve. Weird eyebrows.

But yes to Dylan Moran - in Black Books.

Greg Davis
Russel Howard
Romesh

Jon Richardson
Russell Howard
John Bishop

For me it was Rik Mayall. I had such a crush on him. One of the few celebrity deaths that affected me personally.

Kevin bridges too!

Rob Beckett
Joe Lycett

I have a girl crush on Angela Barnes too. I just love her hair and quirky dresses

He was hot. I liked Colin Mochrie too.

He was very classically handsome when he wasn't gurning and wearing horrible y-fronts pulled up over his waistband! I can't think of many good-looking men who are prepared to make themselves look so unattractive for so much of the time.

@crochetmonkey74 I do too, but I had a wine fuelled conversation with a friend who says he would be a passive disappointment and I have been quite keen to find out which of us is right ever since

I had a thing for Tom Stade after seeing him most years at the Edinburgh Fringe, and meeting him a couple of times. Also the Canadian accent 🥰

Yes to Ben Willbond (loving the uniform in Ghosts!) James Acaster, Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe.

Ooh, also Adam Hills. And thinking about it Alex Brooker has something about him I like too so basically all of the last leg.

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 😁
