Went to bed at number 10, but hadn't seen Billy Connelly, Peter Kay or Ricky Gervais so it must have been one of those....anyone?

The big Yin!

zephyrcat · 19/03/2007 21:13

I missed the end of this too but couldn't believe the amount of legends that were way down the list and crappy no-bodys nearer the top!!

Really
I suppose he probably was quite good before Pamela Stephenson psychoanalysed all the fun out of him

zephyrcat · 19/03/2007 21:14

He was?! Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!

wasn't the order more to do with when the watershed was rather than actual ability?

Though was sometimes a bit surprised at who I rolled around laughing at and who left me stony-faced

emo phillips for example - i used to fall off sofas laughing at him - last night was stony

ImaWurzel · 19/03/2007 21:17

Who's he?

zephyrcat · 19/03/2007 21:18

I said to dp that it was more to do with the watershed.

Did Bill HIcks appear anywhere?

HOW sickening were Bernard Manning Jim Davison and that horrible twat the Dice man of whatever he was called. Just vile

DimpledThighs · 19/03/2007 22:12

zephcat - I often agree with you but SO Eddie Izzard above richard prior!!!!

UnquietDad · 19/03/2007 22:16

Six women, in a list of 100. Surprised nobody has commented on that!

willywonka · 19/03/2007 22:17

Too dreamy eyed from seeing Eddie Izzard to realise...

noddyholder · 19/03/2007 22:18

Jim Davison was truly shocking in some of his racist and anti women comments.Who likes him?

I saw Ben Elton a few months ago at a little warm up gig. I got to talk to him afterwards and he seemed a really lovely, genuine bloke. And still very funny and a bit anarchic.

hunkermunker · 19/03/2007 22:21

Chubby Brown, Bernard Manning and Jim Davidson were ALL vile.

Pruni! You don't get Harry Hill?! I love him

Bill Hicks is a legend - SUCH a waste he died at 32.

[yawn] at Billy Connolly being number one - and I DO NOT understand why on earth Peter Kay is thought to be funny. Predictable, yes. Comedy genius, no.

pointydog · 19/03/2007 22:23

well there just aren't a lot of female comedians are there? Like Jenny Eclair and don't think she's there.

Rhona Cameron - nnnnnngggggg

Prefer Julie Walters by faaar to Victoria wOOD WHo bores mucho

UnquietDad · 19/03/2007 22:23

forty - was he doing any of the old material? Mrs Fatch... ooh, students, eh, there I was in the union bar reading a book of poetry... we've all got choice, ain't we, so let's all choose fackin' Eton for our kids... (Quite prescient, that one!)
