Michael Legge; woeful. His comedy 'routine' seems to consist of shouting at anyone who appears to have more than a fiver in their pockets, to a wall of silence and indifference. And then banging on about his veganism for half an hour. Along with Alan Carr and that Mrs. Brown crap, one of the few who make me switch off instantly.
A bit angry and not great on his own - but nearly made me cry with laughter on "Do the right thing" (podcast series) - to the point I couldn't listen to it on public transport. swisstoni said:

Brilliant in the Little Britain days and good in the airport series (can’t recall the name). We still parrot some of the ‘catchphrases’!
Walliams seems to have reinvented himself a bit and veers between seeming an ok bloke and a bit of an annoyance. Can’t say I’ve seen much of Matt Lucas recently - which is a shame as he’s very talented.
Currently on We bought a Chateau (or whatever it’s correct title is) masquerading as Mrs Dick Strawbribde.

Do you mean John Robins? If so...On a different note, any opinions on John Robertson?(I quite like him)
Yes - There is one of his stand-up sets that i really like (back when he was going out with Sarah Pasco) about when she went away and logged into his email which them led her to his browsing history.. that creased me.
No,John Robertson,the Aussie. Did the Dark Room interactive text adventure comedy show,and now it's a game on PC. I've not had time to play it but looks good, standup is good too. On phone so can't link to him going at a heckler for 10 minutes on YT 
John Robins is also good, I like the show he does with Elis James on Radio X

Oh come on, so contrived, scripted and obvious.
I haven't really watched it properly.Now I know you hate it I am going to give it a proper go. It's probably really good.
If "contrived, scripted and obvious" were an arbiter, then most comedy would fail. I think.

Don’t, it’s dreadful. The main chap (inbetweeners chap) delivers a faux authoritarian character that is cringeworthy, the surrounding “comedians” are so second rate and the usual parts bin Dave fare, there is fake forced laughter abound and silly tasks that mainly recolve around using the straight guy.Now I know you hate it I am going to give it a proper go.

Truly awful.

Personally I find it hilarious, though the series with Liza Tarbuck and others was bad, the rest have been a pretty consistent high standard.
And you don't like Dave Gorman either, whereas I think he is brilliant.

You miss my point but carry on anyway.Truly awful.
This might not be a popular one, but, Greg Davies.
I loved his work on the inbetweeners and cuckoo, I think he's a hilarious actor. But I just saw his 'Magnificent Beast' stand up show and thought he died on his arse, to be fair, I could only manage to watch about half an hour before I turned it off, so I'm hoping the second half was a lot better than the first.
