jimmy carr, funny!

[Gemsbok1000]

Morecambe and Wise not funny?!?!?!?

Why do I think that your inclusion of Bernard Manning will mean that this thread will descend into a racial discussion by page 2?

[qooqiiu]

Yep!

[blot]

And what about those not in nursing homes


Lee Mack, Bill Bailey, Ross Noble, Dara O'briain, Eddie Izzard, Rich Hall & John Shuttleworth all make me chuckle

[Gemsbok1000]

The two men from Peep show - funny
Harry Hill - not funny

Agreed, saw him live a couple of weeks back. 90% fking brilliant, 10% average. Still had me roaring.

I'd add Lee Evans. Probably my fave stand up. His set at Wembley was magic...

Never found Morecambe & Wise funny.
But how about people who used to be funny but are now not, like Lenny Henry was funny for a year or so, also Paul Merton used to be funny.

Good call, totally crap along with alan carr, frankie boyle, the mighty boosh (utter bollux) and, based on how current and topical some of this thread is: jimmy tarbuck, gary wilmott, freddie starr, dick emery, joe pasquale, little and large, les dennis

[Gun]

Got to disagree I'm afraid.

Who's funny: Lee Evans (although you either love him or hate him), Bill Bailey, Peter Kay and Billy Connelly.

Who's not funny: Alan Carr, Chris Rock and, controversially, Ricky Gervais, just don't think he's even slightly funny.

Finally, the utter comedy genius award should go to Spike Milligan.

Didn't particularly like any of his TV stuff but was lucky enough to see him at Leeds many years back when i were but a teen and cried laughing for 3 hours.

[old_joke]The funniest thing Lenny Henry has been in was Dawn French, and she's ste.[/old_joke]

I don't find Jim Davidson funny. In fact he comes across as a bitter, hate-filled individual. Maybe i've been duped by TV though.
