    There is only one comedian worth his salt ... Stan Boardman ...

    Anyone remember his performance down the Valley :)

    Love Reg Hunter and Frankie Boyle.
    Really like David Mitchell and Tim Vine/Stewart Francis (suspect they are the same person)

    Too many to mention in the quality bracket - those you mention plus Armstrong and Miller, Andy Parsons Steve Coogan Ricky Gervais Richard Herring

    The rise of stand up comedy over the past decade or so is fantastic.

    Detest Little Britain with a vengeance

    Frankie Boyle's column in The Sun is hilarious. Check it out if you get the chance.

    Frankie Boyle is a cut above the current crop IMO. Also like Sean Lock (seeing him in December).

    Simon Anstell - garbage.

    Have loved (not in that sense) Stephen K Amos since he absolutely destroyed my ex millwall supporting brother in law.

    Cannot stand Mcintyre.

    Havent bought a paper for 20 years - will see if I can access online.

    Saw a show at Up The Creek a while back with Miranda someone on the bill. Excruciatingly unfunny

    Top draw at the moment Armando Inanuci and Chris Morris Andy Hamilton fella who writes for shows such as Outnumbered, as is Hugh Dennis

    I have always liked British comedians, but found american comedians generally somewhat lacking to my sense of humour.( although there are exceptions like Bill Hicks)

    There is a good book, or TV series out there to be made.

    Hate: Al Murrey; pub landlord, Ricky Gervais, Russell Howard (just not funny), Frankie Boyle, Jim Davidson,

    Like: Vic 'n Bob, Tommy Cooper, Milton Jones

    I err towards the surreal.

    There are many more but I couldn't list them all.

    Marcus Brigstocke is very good. Like some of Richard Herring's stuff but can be a bit hit and miss. Ross Noble is a genius. A bit left field but I also recommend the scottish falsetto sock puppets (essentially a comedian with sock puppets) very funny if you get the chance to see him/them. Also Steve Delaney (as Count Arthur Strong) is really funny.

    Not really keen on Peter Kay personally.

    Love: First and foremost Bill Hicks, then Stuart Lee, Milton Jones, David Mitchel, Rhod Gilbert, Eddie Izzard, and of course the classics of Les Dawson, Tommy Cooper, Morecombe + Wise etc.

    Hate: Of the newer lot Russell Brand, Alun Cochrane, Gina Yashere and Lee Nelson (have never seen or heard him say anything remotely funny ever). Of the old school Mark Lamarr, Jerry Sadowitz, The Diceman (remember him?), and of course Bernard Manning.

    Glad to see a few people mention Russell Howard, he just isn't funny. Mock the Week isn't the same without Frankie Boyle.

    Gina Yashere and comedy should not be mentioned in the same sentence.

    Dislike:

    Jo Brand, Jim Davidson, Lee Nelson (only because he called me a bell end)

    Tbh am easily amused and love going to comedy gigs, even though I am sometimes an easy target if near the front.
