    I can't listen to Dara O'Brien for very long, every other thing he says is "Eyyyyyy"

    Was this a public vote or was it a comedians comedian poll?

    Can anyone tell me where Mitch Hedberg ranked?

    "I went to the store to buy a candle holder. They were out, so I bought a cake." :D

    Sorry, I didn't see him so far (or remember) :(

    Much as I like TV Burp, I miss Harry Hill's old Channel Four shows and standup, hope he does some more standup soon.

    My top five would probably be something like:

    Stewart Lee
    Bill Hicks
    Dylan Moran
    Bill Bailey
    Richard Herring

    I'm surprise Jimmy Carr gets so much hate, one of my favourites, deserves his place

    Oh dear- Jimmy Carr has come on at only number 13...

    My wife hates him but I think he is one of the funniest men alive :o

    "Slow Children" :D

    Very very pleasantly surprise to see Stewart Lee so high, even if I would have him higher.

    Plus he can tell his mum Tom O'Connor didn't even make the list. :D

    I wonder if this is due to his BBC 2 show.

    Wow....if he didn't make the top 100 that's a complete insult. Mitch Hedberg was a funny guy....he was a proper comedian. He wasn't superficial like morons like Peter Kay. Kay shouldn't be ranked in the top 100 by proxy of the fact he never does stand up?.1 every 7 years then re-releases the same material on DVD every year. Rip off merchant and a fat money grubbing waster.

    Mitch was awesome:

    "I bought myself a parrot. The parrot talked. But it did not say, "I'm hungry,"... so it died. "

    :D

    I'm pretty sure he would have been on the list- I was probably just distracted laughing at him :o

    "I went to a store that said they specialized in hard to find records and tapes. Nothing was alphabetized!" :D

    I played some Ross Noble for someone once and they made me switch it off as they found it too hard to follow :(

    I hope he was...but he was ranked pretty low last time.

    How can anyone not enjoy this:

    I don't think Mitch Hedberg was on the list was he? I don't remember seeing him anyway. :o Pity.

    Michael McIntyre's going to be really high isn't he...

    I'm glad to see Stewart Lee is high on the list. :D

    It looks like Ricky Gervais is going to be in the top 10 which is way too high as his TV shows are genius but his standup isn't that great.

    That said this is voted by a British audience and Mitch was never really big over here....I mean, he wasn't mammoth in the U.S.A, so he was barely heard of here in Britain. I think him not being on the list is more testament to the fact he's just not as well heard of, rather than the fact he's not one of the 100 best comedians of all time.

    Phew I was worry McIntyre would be higher, still too high mind, not that he isn't funny, much funnier then Kay for example.
