Tommy Cooper only had to walk on stage and stand there to start me laughing. I can't stand that woman with a geordie accent that appears on the comedy roadshow and has been on Have I Got News For You, I can't think of her name.

[Backdrifter]

horselady I think you mean Sarah Millican.

It's too broad a question - plus it depends how you classify them, from what you might call the "old" crowd I'd have to lump so many of them together as a lot of them were interchangeable - Jim Davidson, et al. "New" yes I can't stand McIntyre but as with Davidson he represents a whole tiresome genre. It's not just him making lame observations but he's the one we all remember. It obviously works as he's hugely successful, but I suppose it's a bit like some types of music, TV shows etc - bland, safe stuff seems to have wide appeal.

Liz Smith is one of the finest comedy actresses the world have ever seen .

[mickrog]

dave alan ....funniest and clever

[BettyNoir]

I hate Roy Chubby Brown, Lenny Henry, Job Brand and Miranda Harte.
I used to love Eddie Izzard, but his last stand up tour wasn't up to much.
I like Shappi Khorsandi, Russel Howard, Dara O'Briein and David Mitchell (even though he doesn't do stand up he's very funny, as is Charlie Brooker.

[mickrog]

would like to know who told al murray he was funny.....a liar whoever it was

[BettyNoir]

Ooh, Milton Jones, i forgot him, he's very funny.
I agree with you about Al Murray, he's just awful.

harry hill................rubbish/

[Sooper]

I dont like - Simon Amstell, Ross Noble, Lenny Henry, Ed Burn, Russell Howard , Jenny Eclair and possibly many more but i cant think at the mo!

Who i love - Sean Lock , Frankie Boyle, Jason Byrne, Frank Skinner and Micky Flanagan who is gonna be big this year i think.

I don't normally like female comedians but there is one at the moment who I find really funny. Can't remember what her name is but she is a jordie I think, short blondish hair and was talking recently about how her divorce got her a name in comdey.

The ones I really don't like are usually black comdians and this is because they often only have jokes about being black. Some of the jokes are funny but it gets really boring when it's all they have to talk about. Gina Yasheri is one of them.

[chelle7272]

I'm so glad there are others who don't like Miranda Hart, I really don't get her at all, nor all the fuss made about her. One of the most hyped yet awful comedy programmes of recent years.

[horseshoes]

I love Sean Locke, Laurel and Hardy, Vic and Bob, the ones off League of Gentlemen, Rich Hall

Don't like Russell Howard or Miranda or Michael McIntyre

[BettyNoir]

Milly I think it's Sarah Millican you're thinking of, she's quite funny too.

>>>Older Males: Ross Noble:
>>>Newer Male: Russell Brand:

Ross Noble was born in 1976, Rusell Brand was born in 1975.

So Rusell Brand is an "older" comedian than Ross Noble.

[Answerprancer]

Old (dead) male - Bernard Manning
Newer male - Jimmy Carr
Older female - Victoria Wood
Newer female - Anne Widdicombe

[douglas9401]

Bill Hicks
Frankie Boyle

I have to agree with Buenchico re Rudy's Rare Records. I only listen cos I'm usually washing the dishes and I'm scared to touch the set with wet hands. Sounds like a bad school play.

[Answerprancer]

...and Jim "nick nick" Davidson - nasty bigoted woman bashing w@nker that he is.
