to wonder if there are any comedy-loving mumsnetters out there who want to share their favourite/worst comedians?

[BritFish]

because i couldnt find where else to ask this!

I love Dylan Moran, Ross Noble, Eddie Izzard.

and cant stand Michael Mcintyre and Jason Manford.

come on, i've seen glimpses of a sense of humour out there from you all

Hurrah for Dylan Moran. Does Tim Minchin count?

Love Simon Day on Fast Show

Frankie Boyle often makes me laugh(I know, I know... - but as a mum of disabled child sometimes he goes waaaaaaaaaaaaay too far)

Hugh Dennis

Russell Howard is :-) mmmmmm

I guess I like Mock the Week

loads more too

Currently liking John Bishop,Izzard is great, Dara O'Briain hilarious...hmm who else

Dara O'Briain and Jack Dee are both fab.

I love Peter Kay. From the past i adore Joyce Grenfell!!

Bill Bailey Yes.

Cant stand Lee Evans, he is a poor mans Norman Wisdom imho!!!

BoF...Do spiders make jam? Do eariwgs make chutney?

yy to all you suggestions. I would add Bill Bailey and Richard Herring

Tim Minchin love! Russell Howard: i feel a bit pervy, but yes!
Dara O'Briain is brilliant.
Jack Dee yes.
Peter Kay: his early stuff yes! but he plugged his dvd on children in need! he used to be so funny.

lottiejenkins - TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!

peter kaye jason manford and frankie boyle for me

lee mack?

i like omid djallili

Ross Noble is soo funny, I'd hate to be on his train of thought though, be like an hour long white knuckle rollercoaster! Did you see his trip round Australian, very funny.
Also love the angry welshman Rhod Gilbert. His show about buying a duvet..the tog rating was hilarious. i can so see things from his perspective, that may just be my hormones though!

Rich Hall

Dave Allen RIP

Omid Djallili

Billy Connolly

Rhod Gilbert is my fave at the moemnt - especially when in full Welsh rant mode!

I also love Eddie Izzard, Billy Connolly, John Bishop, Peter Kay and Dave Spikey. I like my commedians to have a regional accent if poss, though I'm ahppy to make an exception for Eddie Izzard.

Have to add, can't stand the crude ones who swear and say horrid things just for the hell of it. No need!!
Frankie Boyle ruins Mock the week for me, I find him quite offensive.

Oops sorry meant BritFish not BoF

Also on my list are Bill Hicks and Denis Leary (well, the stuff he ripped off from Bill Hicks )

Billy Connolly 20 years ago, I should add.

Love Daniel Kitson, Richard Herring, Stewart Lee, Armando Iannucci, Peter Serafinowcz, Tina Fey, George Carlin, oh so many I could go on all night.

Peter Kay is a massive knobber these days with his money grabbing and constant reissuing of all the same old shite.

Can't go wrong with Eddie Izzard

2old, great to see another rhod fan!
Eddie Izzard is great in the film 5 children & It, he voices It, the samead, very funny.

can tell you're a fan, Evilgiraffe

Met him years ago. Just so nice and lovely

''Aaaargh, I'm covered in beeeees' still has me weeping with laughter

For me it's got to be John Bishop.

eddie izzard going on about why don't the phasers on star trek have options other than stun/kill and suggesting they have an 'oh no i've left the oven on' option.

that and jack dee bitching about craft fairs. brilliant!!

can't do lee evans. he is funny by its the swaeting buckets through his suit i can't bear.
