Saw one of her stand up routines and thought she was absolutely awful.
Felt sorry for her rather than laughed.

Have you seen her (uncensored) stand up? Much better than she is on the telly.
Is that not her thing though? She’s a bit awkward. Like her on Frankie Boyle.

I'd rather she was funny, I suppose I could give her a second chance.
I think I prefer her on panel shows and the like. Not sure about her stand up.
the two absolute worst i've seen, i saw an American stand up program with someone called Larry the cable guy, f***ing hell.
Every other line was 'i'll tell you what else' or 'y'all know what'. Was utterly painful.
Worst i've seen live was Lee Hurst, unfunny with about 5 jokes in total.
I lasted about 15 minutes before i went to McDonalds for a shit, this was about ten years ago.
Judging from some of the stuff i've seen on twitter since he's an absolute prick too.

Known him for years, lovely lad but never made me crack a smile once!
Kevin Bridges, Peter Kay and Micky Flannigan are the only comedians I’ll bother with.

To be honest no, but she still should be funny without the censoring, unfortunately she's not so I wouldn't bother. Just my opinion though & like yourself plenty of people obviously like her.

Too many I find unfunny to list, but a special mention to Noel Fielding. If you insist on inflicting surreal silliness upon us then please check out Spike, Tommy and Chic to find how it's done properly.

Dave Allen used to make me piss myself laughing, genius.
Aye, another one I forgot about.
Did you see the recent BBC biopic with Aidan Gillen? Worth a watch.

His jokes might be good for all I know. It that his delivery is so painfully slow that I’ve already sussed the punchline when he’s halfway through the set up. He’s the comedy equivalent of me writing an essay in a bigger font with double spacing to make my work look like it has more content when I was doing schoolwork
Jimmy Carr is more funny than many. Not seen many mentions of him on either like or dislike lists.

I have a simple rule for comedians.
Women aren't funny.
I cant think of a single women that makes my laugh. The worst of the lot Shapi Korsandi.
I'm not saying all men comedians are hilarious, but at least you stand the chance of a giggle.
The main problem with the big names in comedy is material, they write a show and perform it for 18 months, but during this time they
go on panel shows and interviews where the drop their jokes in all the time. You then go to see them in concert and you know half of the
act.
Saying that I saw Rhod Gilbert at the Empire and he was fantastic, the woman next to me had to put her fingers in her ears and close her eyes
because she couldn't breathe she was laughing that much.

Seen her on countless things where she doesn't even attempt to say anything funny. All she does is sit there and politely smile at other people. I've seen no evidence of her being a comedian or even trying to be one.
