If he hadn't died a couple of years ago, I would have nominated Jeremy Hardy - clever, funny and always on the side of the downtrodden. I would nominate Mark Steel for the same reasons. Showing my socialist colours, I suppose.
I used to love Billy Connolly but went off him a bit as he got older, as he seemed to get less funny and more grumpy. Maybe he had started to feel unwell. There was also that incident in 2004 when he said that if the captors of Ken Bingley, taken hostage in Iraq, were going to carry out their threats to decapitate him, he wished they would "get on with it." Which, of course, they did, poor man. Maybe Billy isn't meant for international diplomacy.
Bob Mortimer is hugely likeable, unlike Vic Reeves, who really irritates me for some reason. Yes, let's all pledge to vote for Bob!
