Comedians that make/don’t make you laugh



I once spent an awful boozy evening with my sisters who insisted on watching a Sarah Millican dvd. I wasn't laughing so they kept repeating the 'joke'. I was branded as a misery of course. I had to leave early as Peter Kay was having the same effect.

Humour can bring people together but there are times when it really divides them too. :lol:

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

Believe me mate, he's not funny.
 
I like:
Stewart Lee
Jack Dee

Find most others funny but not consistently.

I find the following unfunny:

Russell Howard
Shappy Khorsandi
Eddie Izzard
Jimmy Carr

Miranda Hart...quite possibly the least funny person mentioned on this post so far.

I’d agree with all of them.
How that Miranda thing got her own show on prime time TV is a f***ing mystery.
 
I can't recall his name, but I remember some asian lad doing dinosaur impersonations on the telly on one of those apollo shows and it was one of the most cringeworthy few minutes of stand up i've ever seen in my life

Without wading through that whole list I think Ross Noble and Tim Minchin are very funny but I agree that Victoria Wood was shit.
