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

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 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!

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

Victoria Wood, Ronnie Barker

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

I love both Lee Mack and Michael MacIntyre

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

TwiceAsNice Mon 31-Oct-22 18:33:48

Billy Connolly is my favourite. I loathe Jimmy Carr

Kate1949 Mon 31-Oct-22 18:24:54

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

Allsorts Mon 31-Oct-22 18:18:23

Like Lee Mack but switch Jimmy Carr off.

My favourite is Rhod Gilbert and my least favourite is Jimmy Carr
