I love Peter Kay, his show Car Share was hilarious. Dara O Briain and Micky Flannigan are funny too.
Jimmy Carr goes to far. I saw his standup show and sat and cringed at times. I saw Frankie Boyle years ago and he was horrible.

Love Romesh (just watched a couple of clips on You Tube). He's hilarious.

Can't bear Jimmy Carr. Arrogant tw*t.

Hate Eric Morcambe. Like all sorts can't think of any particular one. We watched Bobby Davro recently at a camping event. He was filthy but funny. We were sitting at the front and he asked to borrow my hubs glasses. He looked through them and said " I can't see anything out of these no wonder you have to sit at the front", then he said " I bet you pulled some ugly birds wearing these"....all good fun 😀

I used to really enjoy Smith and Jones in the olden days.
Mel Smith had a delightfully silly face. smile

Peter Kay coming back... yeah love his humour.

Me too. He’s going to be on at our nearest venue on DH’s birthday so I’ve booked a (fully refundable) hotel in the hope that I can grab a couple of tickets when they go on sale.

Oh I'm jealous, I'm hoping he is coming near to me.👍

These are the dates, Bridie. They must be adding to them all the time as there certainly weren’t any London dates there when I looked after the announcement.

Tickets are on sale on Saturday at 10am - they won’t last long!

Thanks, just listened to him on the zoo ball breakfast show, he is doing the o2 if that helps, such a pleasure to hear his lovely daft humour again.🤣

I love Peter Kay and heard him on the radio this morning. I actually thought he sounded a bit manic -trying too hard. However, he's bound to be nervous after all this time and the massive weight of expectation. Good on him!

I really like Jason Manford and totally dislike Frankie Boyle

I don’t know if he counts as a comedian but I think Simon Farnaby is becoming a national treasure. I love him in Detectorists and Ghosts and Horrible Histories and he’s now doing the voiceover for the Tescos Christmas ad ( which he probably wrote..).

Just heard I'm seeing Peter Kay in London next Spring. Yippee!

Billy Connelly- best. Bernard Manning - worst.

Mickey Flanagan!
