Ones that make me laugh:

Steve Coogan in pretty much anything
Sarah Millican in standup, but her tv shows are dire
Bob Mortimer
Catherine Ryan
Sean Lock on 8/10 Cats
That lass off the Mash Report
Frankie Boyle
Rich Hall
Sarah Pascoe
Miles Jupp


Don’t make me laugh:
Roisin Connarty does my f***ing head in
Micky Flannigan
Nish Kumar winds me up
Michael McIntyre
Miranda Hart

Agree with most of your makes me laugh @HellsBells but just don't get her. Think she is so unfunny.
 
Coogan apart from any film he has been in
Mortimer - athletico mince is brilliant
Larry David - curb is best tv programme ever
Patrice O'Neil - although he's now dead I just discovered him this year
Stewart Lee - hated him at first but he grew on me
Gervais - for the office alone

Most other modern comedians don't make me laugh.

I pretty much agree with this but I just cant stand Sarah Millican. Id add Lee Mack on ones I like
 
Russell brand - though surprisingly I liked him in a couple of movies (forgetting Sarah Marshall and get him to the Greek)

I very rarely remember any but the most famous tv comedian names. I may have seen many on the lists above but I wouldn’t recall them beyond a chuckle at a joke or two.

I’ve probably only ever seen about three or four standup comedians in my life (in live performance)

I prefer wit to jokes.

To this day I can't understand how John Bishop has made a living out of being a comedian, utterly baffling.

He's from Liverpool you know? Maybe you've heard him mention it several million times.

How could I forget Stewart Lee? One of the greatest comedy minds of my lifetime.
