Homophobe.

Are they gay? I hadn't realised as I don't judge or care about what grown men do with their firemen behind closed doors.

At the minute, I think it's more a case of 'which aren't stealing a living?'
I can't genuinely think of a comedian that's reasonably consistent. They all milk it, just some a lot more than others.

The worst in my lifetime has been James Corden.

I'd forgotten about that stout little swine. He aint funny at all.

'Tarby' has been pinching money for years with his boring golf jokes. Ho ! Ho!

A lot of these comedians who play roles are pretty awful, obviously there some fantastic ones, like Alan Partridge, but the likes of Lee Nelson.. and that new guy who just seems to be acting mentally disabled.. just awful.

Has anyone said this bloke yet? -



I like QI, I don't even mind Davies being in it but I just don't find him funny.

Also - The Big Bang - wtf - just another Friends clone now or what?

No, I really like Big Bang Theory. Maybe not to your taste but like the best American comedies very well written.

Angelos Epithemiou? Totally agree. Nothing funny about him at all.

I also can't stand Milton Jones.

Milton tries to be too much like Stewart Francis IMO, comes out with the odd one liner but not sure how he managed to get a stand up tour.

Oh yeah that Angelos. Good christ that isn't funny in the slightest.

wow.

That Irish chap O'gara, he hust ruins everything he is on and hurts my ears, eyes and every part of my body down to my toes.

Exactly. Stewart Francis is funny. I've seen him live a couple of times. His material is so much better than Milton's and his timing and delivery are so much better.

This guy always makes me chuckle.

I have ordered the John Bishop Sunshine tour DVD for Xmas. I know he is a scouser but I do find him funny.

Back to crap so called comedians: who finds Miranda Hart funny? She gets all these rave reviews and yet is totally unfunny.

I have spoken to several southerners who think she is crap.

In no particular order:

- James Corden : Ugly and unfunny. How the hell has he been so successful ?

- Ricky Gervais : Just makes me cringe. Useless without a script !

- Al Murray: Pub landlord stuff - childish rubbish.

- Sarah Millican: About as funny as a blocked drain.
