Like Lee Mack but switch Jimmy Carr off.

Billy Connolly was always my favourite. I can't think of a modern one that I find funny. I can't stand Jimmy Carr.

Billy Connolly is my favourite. I loathe Jimmy Carr

Sassanach512 Mon 31-Oct-22 18:34:37

My favourite is Michael McIntyre, can't stand Jimmy Carr it's a dash for the remote when he comes on

I think Jimmy Carr is quite funny on 'I can hear your voice'.

I love both Lee Mack and Michael MacIntyre

Lee Mack and Jack Dee are best. Another thumbs down for Jimmy Carr.

BlueBelle Mon 31-Oct-22 19:03:31

Billy Connolly and John Bishop

Don’t have a total dislike of most not over keen on Jimmy Carr but no great feeling for him one way or other Can’t think of any one I truly don’t like because I don’t watch if they don’t appeal

Lee Mack for me as well. Can't stand Jimmy Carr or Michael McIntyre.

Casdon Mon 31-Oct-22 19:04:24

John Bishop is my favourite 🤩 I like Lee Mack too, and Bill Bailey.
I don’t like Michael McIntyre, I always think he’s trying much too hard. Not keen at all on Jimmy Carr either.

Current times..Lee Mack is my favourite. I’m afraid it’s another thumbs down for Jimmy Carr.

A blast from the past…the wonderful Dave Allen. I loved his humour.

crazyH Mon 31-Oct-22 19:18:37

Ronnie Corbett, my all time favourite.
Ben Elton - least favourite

Grandmabatty Mon 31-Oct-22 19:24:51

Victoria Wood, Ronnie Barker

Lee Mack. Can't stand Carr or McIntyre. Hate Keith lemon.

I will always love Billy Connolly and the late Dave Allen was very good, as was the late Bill Hicks. I've recently come to love both Hannah Gadsby and Urzila Carlsson.
Absolutely cannot stand Jim Davidson or Bernard Manning or Roy 'Chubby' Brown - oh, and on that note, 'Mrs Brown' too!

lixy Mon 31-Oct-22 20:19:03

Ronnie Barker is top of my list - his sense of timing was second to none.
Dave Allen was my 'best ever' stand-up - even though he sat down!

I like Jo Brand's dry wit.

I don't enjoy watching Dara O'Brien and can't stand Peter Kay.

I enjoyed seeing Harry Enfield on that Friday night live programme the other week. I’d forgotten how much I loved his show back in the day. Eg The aliens

Harris27 Mon 31-Oct-22 20:30:04

I used to love Victoria wood. She was brilliant. Love Peter Kay.

Theexwife Mon 31-Oct-22 20:35:50

love Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathen, cannot stand John Bishop.

Sago Mon 31-Oct-22 20:37:54

Peter Kay💕Jimmy Carr😠

Aveline Mon 31-Oct-22 20:45:18

Peter Kay, Victoria Wood, Eric Morecambe, James Acaster, Romesh Ranganathan and so many others.
Positively dislike Lee Mack, Jimmy Carr and Nish Kumar.

MayBee70 Mon 31-Oct-22 22:06:05

Can’t stand Romesh Ranganathen.

Bridie22 Mon 31-Oct-22 22:47:06

Cannot abide the revolting Keith Lemmon
