I like all those, bar Lenny Henry

I can't think of 5, but Lenny Henry would be my no.1 worst comedian, followed by Ricky Gervais.

I only have one so-called comedian that I detest and that is the very unfunny Jim Davidson so sexist,racist and homophobic.

I agree with these.


Lenny Henry is rubbish now - but was once quite amusing on Tiswas - or maybe that was because I was a kid then.

Lee Evans isn't too bad.

The worst comedy I have seen recently is James Corden and his mates show - I just can't fathom out who thought that was funny and deserved a series.

Oh yeah it is the unique way the BBC is funded that brings us such rubbish.

Little and Large - the only double act with two straight men (straight in the old-fashioned sense, ie unfunny)

Also true of Hale & Pace.

But there are worse.

Jim Davidson
Peter Kay (bog standard 70's Club comedian but not as good)
Ricky Gervais - utterly awful
Frank Skinner
Alan Carr

Dishonarable mentions would include Hugh Dennis, Mike Reid and just about any 70's double act apart from M&W and the Ronnies.

I must be missing something with Michael McIntyre. Very few people have mentioned him.

I'm from Northern Ireland and we have a lot of dross here. Jimmy Cricket, Frank Carson and Patrick Kielty deserve a mention. Ricky Gervais and Lenny Henry are also crap.
