He’s not widely liked on here but Jimmy Carr is still my favourite.
Used to love Sean Lock as well and still have the ticket somewhere when we totally forgot about his gig!
Saw Rob Beckett at the Assembly Gardens and Geoff Norcott in Solihull and both were good but you can tell the difference between the good and the top level.
Saw the Scouse comedian Paul Smith at the comedy club in Liverpool and at the Rialto and really like him but his best work is interacting with the crowd rather than the actual stand up routine.
Think I’ve said on here before but Frankie Boyle was a major disappointment and just wasn’t funny.
Randomly also saw Bernard Manning at the Walsgrave Club years ago and he was an unfunny fat racist c**t.
Went to see one of my favourite comedians Milton Jones at Warwick Arts centre last night. Didnt disappoint, tears of laughter throughout. Clever use of words and one liners
Was ably supported by Tom Houghton.
Not a swear word from either all night.
Anyone else go ? And who are others favourites?
I think I saw him in his fat, not arsed staged, where his retorts to hecklers was just wishing cancer on them rather than being actually funny. Was a shame as thought he was hilarious on Mock the Week etc.I nearly passed out watching Frankie Boyle I was laughing that much!
Used to go and watch a lot of comedians but haven't seen one for ages.

Another unpopular opinion is that I’ve never really found that many female comedians funny but would love to go and see Katherine Ryan.
I saw him last night. Doesn’t disappoint!Saw Alan Partridge a couple of weeks ago. Enjoyed that.
Aha !I saw him last night. Doesn’t disappoint!
Reminded me on here of a couple I can't stand Stuart Lee and Joe Lycett. Wouldn't cross the road to see either of those for free.
I really like both Kerry Godliman and Gary DelaneySaw Jason Manford at the Warwick arts centre a couple of weeks ago and he was very good as was his support act.
Going to see Henning Wehn and Joe Lycett later in the year.
Saw Kerry Godliman at the glee club and she was brilliant.
Saw Milton Jones at the glee on his tour warm up and he did not disappoint.
Saw Gary Delaney at the Glee club last year and he was by far the best I have seen from the above and it was about £15 for a ticket.
Haven't seen much of Joe Lycett, but I think at times, Stuart Lee is excellent. I especially love his Top Gear skit.Reminded me on here of a couple I can't stand Stuart Lee and Joe Lycett. Wouldn't cross the road to see either of those for free.
Theirs a few work in progress gigs at the Assembly Fields. Sophie Dukor, Rosie Jones and a few others are pencilled in.Have heard Peter Kay is on the verge of a comeback .
Got tickets to see Mike bubbins in Birmingham next March
Seen quite a few comedians been lucky too see Billy connelly twice , first time was at Birmingham symphony hall which is a great venue .
Is there any open mic nights in Cov ?
Bernard Manning is one of the best deliverers of a punchline ever. Shame about some of his material.I saw Bernard Manning at the lockhurst lane club early 90’s.
I can honestly say I have never laughed so much before or since.
The bloke was a genius.
I do like Peter Kay, Lee Mack and Kevin Bridges of the recent ones though!!

Rosie Jones. What is it about her humour?Theirs a few work in progress gigs at the Assembly Fields. Sophie Dukor, Rosie Jones and a few others are pencilled in.
Greg Davies is by far the best I’ve seen. Have watched Ed Gamble, James Acaster, Russell Howard, Jack Whitehall, Sarah Millican and Peter Kay over the years. All great.
Have tickets for Joe Lycett and Sarah Millican later on this year that I’m looking forwards too. Millican is very different live to her tv persona.
Mrs D’s brother and sister in-law had tickets to see the same Partridge show last night, it was cancelled 30 mins before the doors open due to illness.Aha !
She’s ok on tv stuff I find, but I wouldn’t want to watch a 60min set of hers.Rosie Jones. What is it about her humour?
I do find her quite funny. Her delivery is obviously slower than most comedians, but maybe the anticipation of the punchline makes it funnier.She’s ok on tv stuff I find, but I wouldn’t want to watch a 60min set of hers.
I actually find the delivery really rather difficult, and makes it impossible for me to listen to or watch her.I do find her quite funny. Her delivery is obviously slower than most comedians, but maybe the anticipation of the punchline makes it funnier.
Fair play for battling against being stereotyped but to judge her fairly against her peers based on humour alone which is what I'm sure she'd want, then I don't find her even remotely funny.
Every 'comic' sketch I've seen on twitter has been dross and shes no exception.
Are you thinking of Rosie Holt?
