There's not that many comedians these days that make me laugh because a lot of them come up with the same old jokes that everyone else does full stop is there any comedians out there that are new?

Not really into stand ups these days either, but I'll offer some ladies who are just generally very funny as women always get a bad rep for not being

Tina Fey

Aisling Bea

Sharon Horgan

Jennifer Lawrence

Amy Poehler

Simon Evans always makes me laugh

And you'd only ever have seen him on the live circuit rather than TV, but Ian Cognito was great and is much missed

Depends on what era really. I like different comedians for different moods.... I think Dave Allen has to be up there and more recent comedians has to be James Acaster!

Listened to a full set from Bernard Manning Thursday night in bed. First comedian to get a proper reaction out of me in years.

Snored for a full hour and a half apparently

For me Bill Burr and Dave Cappelle are in a league all by themselves.

Wokeness has killed good comedy these days, Reginald D Hunter and Greg Davies are good though.

Most American humour falls flat with me but Bill Burr is excellent as well, his fat people and population control skits are hilarious.

Travelling

George Carlin.

While I may have a chuckle, a giggle, break a smile to some of the more modern comedians (comedians is a much broader term these days too, panel show, stand up, sitcom actors etc) they are all partially funny in their own way. Very few of them truely command respect and attention like some of the big names of the past. They rely too much on shockvalue or direct belittling of people (I don't mean hecklers). Or their jokes are often rehashed and modified versions of their older material. Or their small gimmicks are just weak attempts to prop up the jokes they are telling.

George Carlin has my favourite kind of comedy, Think comedy.

It was a perfect mix and combination of observational, satire, character, word play and black comedy.
