Alan Carr v Jimmy Carr

Who do you like the best, Alan or Jimmy?

Alan for me every time, he's funny, whereas Jimmy thinks he's funny

I've seen both live. Jimmy is funny on an intellectual level. Alan Carr I saw at a special comedy night at the Royal Albert Hall, with Ricky Gervais.

Alan Carr absolutely stole the show and brought the house down. I've never seen a comedian as funny. It was clever and unexpected humour. I hope he does well.

Alan Carr hands down for me, The guy is a comical genius and it comes naturally, although I do like Jimmy is humour is very dry and seems sometimes forced.

Alan Carr for me every time too, he's just about the only comedian who's regularly on C4 who makes me laugh.

Jimmy Carr occasionally raises a smile which is more than can be said for Russell Brand, Avid Merrion and Justin Lee 'how did he ever get paid to be on TV' Collins

Alan = Very funny scary teeth

Jimmy = mildly amusing face like a satellite dish

Alan gets my vote

Alan is hilarious.

Jimmy is more sarcastic and doesn't laugh at his jokes. That's what makes him funny.

I used to love Jimmy Carr - but he's everywhere now, and always seems to be telling the same jokes over and over again...

Thought he was fantastic live, but now that I've heard the jokes about 10 times, they are slightly boring

I never used to like Jimmy Carr but I don't mind him, he was funny on 8 Out Of 10 Cats BB special but Alan Carr definetely
Alan is hysterical in Law Of The Playground
I only have to hear Alan Carr's voice for him to have me in stitches

If I had the choice of watching either it would have to be Alan, the man is nothing short of fabulous.

I really like Jimmy aswell, he was great on the 8 out of 10 cats BB special last week.

That's the only reason Jimmy is laughed at, so true.

Anyone is funnier than Jimmy Carr.

Alan is very funny.

Alan Carr is a legend. He never fails to make me laugh. On the other hand, I can't stand Jimmy Carr!!

I think they are both funny...allthough I used to think Jimmy Carr was one of them from The Adam and Joe Show, but being more serious.
