I find it difficult sometimes, I start liking a comedian and then they are everywhere or they are doing chat shows.
I like Michael McIntyre but can find he can be overbearing and some of his jokes get repetative.
I like Alan Carr but don't necessarily like his chat show.
Jack Dee I find funny but the grumpy act he doesn't always make me laugh.
I do quite like Julian Clary and his bitchy humour.
Frankie Boyle I do like and he seems to shock people which I quite liked because he was refreshing. However, now I feel that he just shocks for the sake of it and tends to go too far and I hated the programme that he did - he is one that I think is more suited to stand up.
Russell Howard I do like and I like his programme as well he would be one at the moment that I would like to see live.
From the past I like Richard Pryor.
I like Alan Cochrane a lot too.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that really enjoyed The Alternative Comedy Experience. Shame it's ended now. Fingers crossed for a second series.
An unlikely choice - Bob Monkhouse. Unfortunately he rarely showed his true talent on TV because he did mainly game shows and often came across as a smarmy, insincere git, but his live act (and I don't mean the sanitised ones released on DVD) was brilliant.
He was ancient even in the seventies, but Bob Hope had some excellent stand up. I quite like one of lines where he said he tried to get into England, but it was closed due to industrial action.
I know it was clear what he meant. My response was a very obscure reference to Lee's routine in Carpet Remnant World concerning an internet comment about Bin Laden "...roast him alive so he can see what it feels like"
But 'what' is the applicable word in the instance you have quoted, so doesn't compare with the grammatical error in the OP's question.

The comment you quote is from 3.20, in the link below, where Lee is trying to imply grammatical incongruity and incorrectness in a quite. So I presume you, like him are trying to pick up on grammatical mistakes, in a mock-pedantic way, but, as the phrase quoted by Lee doesn't use 'what' incorrectly, it is not likely even people who saw the routine would get that allusion by you.
The three I'd have in highest category and brilliant IMO are, in order Rhod Gilbert, Peter Kay and Michael McIntyre.
Further back Dave Allen was great an if Stewart Lee is who I think he is, he is great.
Any of these id gladly watch and know I'll get some laughs: Jimmy Carr, Alan Carr, Sean Locke, Tim Vine, John Bishop, Micky Flanagan, Andy Parsons.
Not for me are any of the American ones, any women (I want.to like them but rarely do) nor anything either "edgy" "close to the mark" political or just off topic ramblings.
Although Boyle was always the funniest on Mock The Week.
I used to love Jimeoin, haven't seen him for years. I remember he had his own tv show in the mid 90's and he was a panellist on a comedy quiz show, can't for the life of me remember what it was though! He's a very funny comedian. I also saw a show he did going round Australia, can't recall much apart from him doing a gig to some Aboriginies in a hut
I have seen Jimeoin live twice at the Edinburgh Comedy Festival very, very funny.
I would like to see Daniel Kitson live he has been around awhile now and what I have seen on YouTube is really funny.

I loved Frankie on MTW, he was always class on Scenes We'd Like to See
Unlikely Things to Hear in a History Show
"I want to trace my father. Could you suggest a good marker pen?"
I'd love to see Jimeoin live, he was a favourite of mine in the 90's. I couldn't put a face to the name Daniel Kitson, but seeing him I recognise him now. He's really funny.

There is going to be a second run: http://www.chortle.co.uk/news/2013/04/30/17739/alternative_comedy_experience_to_return
Two masters of their craft
My favourite...Frank Skinner of course:)
An Audience with Billy Connolly is my all time favourite stand up show.
Frank Skinner's Opinionated series is being repeated as we speak - its very good
Bill Bailey
Dennis Leary
Richard Pryor
Ross Noble
Lee Mack
Dave Chapelle.

Sadly mostly no longer with us. I can't think of any other living ones who can get anywhere near matching Ken Dodd.

The 'It's not always you' humour is a bit annoying at times, but its mostly quite funny
