Jason Manford - He appeared from nowhere after a space was left by Peter Kaye

Sarah Millican - I cannot for the life of me remember any of her jokes, it goes in one ear and out the other, it's like listening to a woman with an annoying voice prattle on about nothing and her laugh makes me want to chop trees down.

Michael McIntyre - Observationist, Here is an example, "I went to get on a bus, a bus, yes, a bus," flicks his hair about a bit, grins inanely and all the morons are pi**ing themselves with laughter

Patrick Kielty - Not funny, never has been

Just because you don't like a comedian doesn't make the millions who do 'morons'.

Comedy is such a personal choice I don't see how people insult others for liking something different.

I don't get Lee Mack or his sitcom, Not Going Out.

To be fair Ken Dodd is only on tv when an old comedian dies these days but I detest him so much I included him. Missed off kieth lemon, lee mack and Robert Webb

I mean there are comedians who don't do it for me - like say Ross Noble or Jo Brand, but i can see how others might like them.

But Sue Perkins - nope, sorry.

Worst still, she seems to be on everything on the BBC.

I wouldn't say she's never off the telly, but i agree, i find nothing funny about Sue Perkins. Her mate Mel was funny though.

No it doesn't, it just means you don't like them funny. I probably hate some of the comedians you like, doesn't make you a moron.

He has been blighted by rotten material. If you see him in stand up, documentaries and on Three of a Kind, you'll see a much funnier LH. He's also a fine straight actor.

Sarah Millican and her tiresome 'woe is me' delivery and neverending references to her f@cking boyfriend.

Sue Perkins isn't a comedian these days, she's a presenter with a rather dry sense of humour. From what I hear she's a very nice woman too.

Then perhaps you might explain why she's referred to as a comedienne and comedy writer.

Honestly, I don't think looking like K D Lang's little sister and occasionally arching an eyebrow after making a damning comment constitutes comedy myself either. "This blancmange is like something I imagine you could scrape out of a dog food factory grate". Yeah, that's a grim observation, there's no actual humour there as far as I am concerned.

Read my post again.
I said she isn't a comedian these days. I'm perfectly aware she started out as one, so please don't patronise me.

Dry senses of humour appeal to some, and not to others. Personally, I think she's funny, but each to their own eh?
