I don't find Peter Kay funny at all.

I love Bob Mortimer but i don't much care for Vic Reeves.

Lee Evans was on Graham Norton last week , i only have to look at him & i'm laughing
As posters keep saying, this stuff is all subjective, Peter Kay makes me laugh, but I think it’s his accent that goes a long way toward it, I’m not taking the pi$$ out of it, but to me, a Londoner, the gags seem funnier in his accent.
I’m ambivalent about Reeves and Mortimer, but I think Bob edges Vic.
I’d rather spend 30 minutes slamming the door on my co*k than suffer Evans, he’s like Norman Wisdom on speed.

Bob Mortimer's Athletico Mince podcast is just funny as fk , Childish , juvenile humour at it's best.

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner could be the reason I don't find Peter Kaye that funny.

I did enjoy his John Smith's adverts but that's about it . I tried Pheonix nights thing & well meh...

I guess if we all liked the same thing then then we'd have a lot of out of work comedians .

I have no interest in football, hardly know any of the people they talk about - yet this is still one of my favorite podcasts.

Sarah Millican has built an entire career on an accent.

Milton Jones - agree with you there, obviously very very talented but I just don't like the delivery, same goes for Stewart Francis... Tim Vine could be put in the same group (again - amazing talent for what he does) however he really made 'Not going out' funny and it just wasn't the same after he left.

Watch it all but story at 53.50 about Chris Rhea is hilarious.

I first listened to this on a plane and had an uncontrollable ten-minute laughing fit at the Chris Rea story,I'm smiling just thinking about it now! IMO Bob Mortimer is one of the most naturally funny people there's ever been.

I really enjoyed Bob on Taskmaster, particularly in the task where he got into the boot of the Audi with Alex Horne hehe

No, it's because he isn't funny at all, and that's from a northerner.

He's funny in stuff but I don't really like his stand up

I’m one of the rare breed of Southerners that quite likes a North East accent, e.g. Jimmy Nail.
I don’t know if SM is a Geordie, or just from that area, but her act does nothing for me.

Shouldn't give Kay a hard time. If it hadn't been for Phoenix Nights we wouldn't now have Paddy O'Connell as a Top Gear presenter

Surely that should be, we should give him a hard time as thanks to him we have to suffer his talentless dhead school mate on Top Gear.
