I do not get Milton Jones. I have tried to get him (in a prim approving way because he is a born again Christian and has a clean act)

The following are fairly amusing, but a bit meh..
Michael Macintyre
Peter Kay

Jason Manford

I actually find the overly offensive comedians like Jimmy Carr, Frankie Boyle and Jim Jefferies very funny because of their delivery, but then feel a bit sick and disappointed in myself for laughing as they are so vile.

2old4thislark - the Aussie guy with one leg is Adam Hills. He's definitely one of my favourites as he's so uplifting,kind and silly. Jim Jeffries is also Australian, but is quite obnoxious and does sets about getting egg-shaped sex toys stuck up his arse and violent porn. Jim is actually a friend of my sister's and she insists that he's actually a lovely bloke, but I was too scared to talk much to him at her wedding as I knew that she'd told him that I found him really offensive.
