I have to say I really like him . I know he's not everyone's cup of tea and he can overstep the mark a lot (I find him a bit much sometimes) but if you just look at his twitter he can be funny without being rude or vulgar and he makes some good political points . It's just a shame he doesn't tour anymore :(

    he is funny sometimes but tries too hard to be controversial to raise a laugh, overall a bit of a dick

    I liked her in Britain's Got Talent when she shocked everyone with her voice, but I'm a bit over her now..

    I like him, he crosses the line often, and (for me) that is often where the real laugh is. If people can't distinguish between comedy and genuine intent to offend, or if they generally find being offended and taking the faux moral high ground satisfying somehow, then he simply isn't the comedian for them.

    I like him. His show Tramadol Nights was terrible but I liked him on Mock the Week and I find his stand up quite funny. His Twitter feed can be very funny too.

    His tweet about Phil Neville during the England game saying that he could make Zippity Doo Dah sound like a cancer diagnosis really made me chuckle.

    People who get offended by him really need to lighten up (and change the channel or don't follow him on Twitter).

    Don't find him remotely amusing. I "get" him, I just don't find him funny.

    Like him but hated the Katie Price remarks. I really thought that was too much as it was aimed at someone specific. A disabled child.

    He seems to be trying to reinvent himself a bit with that cookery show spoof advertised for BBC iPlayer.

    His humour is dark (which I like) but he crosses the line at times. I like him in small doses which is about as much as I like any comedian. So, yeah, I'd like to see him pop up on tv every year or so but I wouldn't watch him every week.

    He also supports and endorses many left wing causes which I like too and must annoy the right -wingers :D

    Devisive, controversial.

    But very topical and funny in his own, unique way.

    He is one of my favourite comedians - along with Billy Connolly and Kevin Bridges.

    Seen him in person and he is naturally funny.

    He does push his luck with some remarks sometimes, but that almost seems intended to cause offence to the too easily-offended on behalf of others brigade and win him some free publicity from the red top newspapers that lap that sort of thing up.

    He earns his money by being controversial, same as Katie Hopkins. If that's how he earns his fortune then fair play to the guy.

    I think he is a total nob, who is so cowardly he only targets female celebrities....as long as they are white.

    Such a jerk!!
