Knew they'd be one and now I find out it's you.
As I say, I never found Reeves and Mortimer funny from the tiny little bits I saw of them, but whenever I have seen Bob on shows, solo, I have always found him very funny indeed.
Knew they'd be one and now I find out it's you.Sorry Otis. Have to say I don't find him that funny. He's 'okay', but not side-splittingly hilarious. Took me years to know which one was which (Reeves & Mortimer), much the same as that Anton Dec fella.
Grammar, Otis, grammar. It's "there'd be" as in 'there would be'. Just saying, like.Knew they'd be one and now I find out it's you.
Yeah, would say I like pretty much all of them, though the one exception I would say is Alan Davies. Not particularly keen.Grammar, Otis, grammar. It's "there'd be" as in 'there would be'. Just saying, like.
As for recent comedians, I like:
Jon Richardson - deadpan humour and quick witted.
Lee Mack - Very quick witted and very funny
Rhod Gilbert
Jo Brand (couldn't stand her a while ago, but have grown to enjoy her style of humour!)
Sean Lock
Peter Kay (But only so much. He can be a bit overdone on the telly)
Alan Davies
Jimmy Carr
Tim Vine for his daft one-liners!
There's probably a few more, but I can't be arsed to think. So if a discussion comes up about any of the above, be sure and note my positive comments. We don't all like the same thing.

I don't like it that he always seems to enjoy his own jokes more than the audience does.supposed to be an absolute wanker.
Didn't know about any of that, Otis. Maybe I should check him out more. I took to him mainly because he presents that programme "The Dog Rescuers" and I'm a sucker and big softy when it comes to animals, especially those that have been mistreated.I don't like it that he always seems to enjoy his own jokes more than the audience does.
Attacked homeless person too once didn't he? Wasn't it just because the bloke called him Jonathan Creek?
Think he bit his ear or something.

I've heard the same, but only from reading online discussion boards about him.I know some one who has worked with him, said he's a grade A prick.
Just one persons opinion of course.

Why, who do YOU know who knows him?make that two
You can actually see that McIntyre and Flanagan are nice. It just kind of shines through with them.I heard that behind the scenes peter Kay is supposed to be a bit of a nob
They also told me Micheal McIntyre and mickey Flanagan are really nice blokes
I went to see Jon Richardson in earlier this year and he was really good
Yeah the Peter Kay one surprised me he always seems so likeableYou can actually see that McIntyre and Flanagan are nice. It just kind of shines through with them.
Surprised about Peter Kay if true. He always comes across as likeable.
I've just started getting into the world of podcasts, (any recommendations gratefully received)
Yeah.Yeah the Peter Kay one surprised me he always seems so likeable
But the fella was a stage manager at an arena he played at but I had heard from someone who worked the circuits with him years ago and apparently he used to go over his allotted time and messed around with the microphone after his set in order to put other people off. It’s not uncommon when I worked on radio one presenter in particular would mess around with the faders and all sorts
It rarely surprises me to hear about which "celeb" is decent and who isn't. Those "celebs" who demand everything in their dressing rooms and hotels are real snobs and I just don't have time for them.Yeah.
I used to know one of the box office ladies at the old Cov Theatre. She would always tell me who was nice and who was horrible.
Peter Crouch is doing one that has got good reviews.Flintoff, Savage and the Ping Pong guy.
Yeah.

I'm guessing Bruce Forsythe, Bob Monkhouse or Richard Whitely ...There is one person who used to present a quiz show - almost the face of the channel - who was classed as "a national treasure" who was the most difficult, obnoxious man to deal with. He put his public persona on very well when required but way from that - God.

I enjoyed listening to the infinite monkey cage podcast when I was on nights Brian Cox and Robin Ince. Highly recommend it.I've just started getting into the world of podcasts, (any recommendations gratefully received), his Athletico Mince podcast is very funny.
Saw Robin Ince live in the summer, he was well funny in a very unconventional way. His impression of Brian Cox is basically Alan Bennett talking about heat death of the universe whilst smiling.I enjoyed listening to the infinite monkey cage podcast when I was on nights Brian Cox and Robin Ince.

Yep these are good for a laugh - i particularly like the line - How did you bag Abi ?Peter Crouch is doing one that has got good reviews.

Top notch banter. A great series, long may it continue.
Yup seen him twice and it's almost a conversational routine and very funny. He's always in the bar afterwards and welcomes anyone to join him for a drink and a chat.Saw Robin Ince live in the summer, he was well funny in a very unconventional way.

No. Didn't even break into a grin there. Sorry.Johny Vegas was on favourite sketches last night and picked this one from Vic and Bob. Always thought that they were two of the funniest guys on TV myself
