Right on ones who craft humour with an underlying political message but miss the mark and just end up a bit twatty.

"Michael McIntyre "

All day, he laughs at his own words so much to stretch out his routine, it's like he's copying Billy Connolly but forgetting to add actually funny stuff between his own chuckling

Blyth

Nish Kumar

Russel Brand

Allan Carr

Ricky Gervais

Lenny Henry (used to be ok but plays the race card too much now)

Russell Kane (ok in very small doses)

Frankie Boyle (used to be really good, but just tries to shock now which isn't funny)

John Bishop (too drole, and his voice grates)

Harry Hill (thinks he's better than he is)

Chubby Brown (well past his sell by date)

There's probably more......

This one.

Also Russell Brand, who isn’t half as smart as he likes to think he is. It’s like a monologue from a stoned student.

Humour varies. Comedians are all funny to someone.

Mind you we went to an open mic night once and it was dire, dire I tell you. Absolutely nobody laughed

A comedian might not be to your taste, but can still be funny for lots of other people.

I go to see a lot of live comedy and I'm constantly amazed at the talent out there. Most of which are comparatively unknown outside the industry.

Scott Bennett, Lindsey Santoro, Jeff Innocent, Diane Spencer, Andrew Bird, Freddy Quinne, Peter Brush, David Eagle - all of these are fantastically talented.

Good shouts. Both talented. Andrew Lawrence managed to make himself unbookable, though. He has a deep streak of self-destruction.

To be honest, practically all the "comedians" named above and loads more probably going back to the start of new wave of comedy... Personally I prefer the older comedians from when I was younger.

I see a lot of live comedy, including many of those that some people have named here. Humour is subjective though and my taste and yours may be different.

Much to the disgust of his father, who I've known very well for many, many years, I just can't stand John Kearns.

Most of my hate list have already been mentioned, but the one at the top has to be Russell Brand. So regret not colliding with him harder so he'd have gone over the Embankment!

It's a good job we have so many comedians to cater for the wide and varied tastes we have in this country.

Hopefully the days are gone where we all sit in front of an idiot box that told us what was funny, with a dubbed track to remind us when to laugh.

I had a good long think about who the complete comedian might be.

The Big Yin.

Billy Connelly.

Consistently funny for a very long time amidst contentious times.

Ricky Gervaise, (The office.) until he ripped it out of the celebs at the Oscars, which was on another level, imho. So funny.

I loved Sean so much on 8 out of 10 cats. Carrot in a box will be forever one of the greatest few moments of television.

As John said, "If there's no carrot in that box, you are a genius."That he was.
