Title: Your favourite and least favourite comedians
Post by: Joseph41 on April 06, 2018, 10:05:52 am
I'm a big Judith Lucy fan, but one of my friends doesn't find her funny in the slightest. On the other side of the coin, he's a big Kitty Flanagan fan, and I just don't find her funny in the slightest.

Who are your favourite and least favourite comedians? All recommendations welcome. :)

I can never go past this Paul Foot scene. It starts at 1.05 in the video below.


I went and saw him the other year, and it was certainly an experience haha.

I love Ben Price (more an impersonator than comedian, but still funny). I could be biased as he's a family friend though! ^_^

I would link a video, but I'm on my phone, at the airport ;D

Compiling my list, I realised I like a lot of comedians haha.
- Adam Hills (probably my favourite)
- Urzila Carlson
- Wil Anderson
- Sammy J and Randy
- Hannah Gadsby
- Jason Byrne
- Ross Noble
- Russell Brand

I don't really hate any, but there's definitely a fair few that I just don't find funny. Or like, I enjoy some of their stuff, but not all of it. I generally don't enjoy Jimmy Carr's stuff.

My favourite is Ricky Gervais! Least favourite is definitely Amy Schumer

Ooh, I don't know if he counts as he's more musical, but I think he's too great to not leave out. This is Tom Lehrer (the guy that wrote the Elements Song)

For actual comedians, I'd have to go with Billy Connolly. Unfortunately, most of his examples seem to have been remove from YouTube. However, here's a small bit
in spoiler so I don't make a mess

Favourite: Rowan Atkinson (Old but gold)

Oh, I can't believe I didn't mention David Mitchell in the opening post. That man is truly beautiful.

Mitchell plus Lee Mack and Rob Brydon on WILTY simply couldn't be better.

Richard Ayoade (<3 <3 <3), Lee Mack, David Mitchell, Rob Brydon, Ricky Gervais (though he's gone a bit stale for me recently, love his old stuff though, especially with Karl Pilkington), Robin Williams, Stephen Colbert, Sacha Baron Cohen and my all time fave

Joe Lycett <3

Not a fan of Amy Schumer either, along with Jerry Seinfeld, Jimmy Carr and Joan Rivers

YES. WILTY was so much better when Rob Brydon took over hosting. Funnily enough I'm not that much of a fan of Lee Mack's stand up, or David Mitchell's scripted stuff though. I think they're so much funnier off the cuff. Rob Brydon is comedic perfection in any form

Next time u come to sydney we can have a WILTY marathon. Also a big fan of some of the other British panel shows like QI (Stephen Fry <3 forgot about him), and Big Fat Quiz of the Year, but WILTY always comes out on top for me. The whole family watches it.

My favourite moment ever on Big Fat Quiz of the Year, featuring Brydon, Ayoade and Mitchell for your viewing pleasure


Also my favourite Joe Lycett moments <3

Can't go past Studio C, my favourite sketch comedy channel!!!
The funny thing is that the Edrolo guy for Physics is a comedian as well, Andy Matthews, and he's pretty funny as well.

Very Late on this...
But what is this Amy Schumer hate?

Rowan Atkinson is My un-funny.
Like, I love Johnny English, but his normal Mr Bean acts don't get me.

Amy Schumer, Jimmy Carr, Wil Anderson, Cole Elliot, "King Billy Cokebottle"...

All faves. :D
