Most un-funny Comedian of all time?

[DTS]

Jenny Eclair, Simon Munnery, Alan Carr

How did I forget Jenny Eclair......I hate the woman.....

:fury:

 

[Napster]

Haven't seen the other two live and have no real desire to do so.

JE was on when I was at uni, didnt know who she was (the days before the Internet!). Alan Carr I saw at a charity gig.

:(

I saw Alan Carr recently and he was cracking.

On the basis of your funny women thread then Jo Brand gets my vote.

I wasn't aware that Graham Norton was a comedian either.

Where's Cannon & sodding Ball, I would rather have my piles treated with a rusty knife then suffer that pair of one trick ponies.:flamer:

Simon Munnery

How very dare you, The League Against Tedium is pure comedy gold!

Blimey, me & Cousin Weir agree on something :D

 

[ldnfatso]

Roy Chubby Brown is just so unfunny! He gets my vote.

 

[Kent Shrimper]

i voted Jimmy Carr and i shouldnt as i think he is funny. My vote goes Lenny.

Catherine Tate. Every episode is the same as the last. Predictable and as funny as a tax bill - total rubbish. Maybe I feel that way after sitting through 7 episodes on a Trust coach. Never again!
Boring cubed.

I once saw a Jimmy Carr set at Lee Hurst's comedy place in Bethnal Green,

Off topic, but Lee Hurst is a top top bloke.

Saw him at London Bridge once and he is tiny......

Came up to my knee caps...

:p

Off topic, but Lee Hurst is a top top bloke.

Actually, saw Lee Hurst do a brilliant put down to some very boozed up Army boys who were heckling him in his comedy club a few years back. Basically, there was lots of to-ing and fro-ing with the army boys, and then one of them came out with the line:

"Yeah... well, just so long as us punters keep paying your wages, eh?"

Quick as a flash, Hurst replied:

"Actually, I think you'll find that it's us lot who keep paying your wages!"

Cue a lot of laughter, and how he thought of that comeback so quickly I'll never know - it's what makes him such a good stand-up, I guess!

:)

Steve Coogan is a comedy genius, I'm surprised anyone could suggest him. My vote goes to Jimmy Carr. His delivery just really, really annoys me for some reason.

As for Frank Skinner, who spawned this thread, I saw his last stand-up tour and thought it was brilliant. I'll definately be seeing him at the Cliffs in a few months.

 

[Crabby Shrimper]

I've gone for Catherine Tate. maybe I'm getting old, but I just don't get what's so good about her. Coming a close second was Joe Brand, saved from the vote by the occasional witty comment in amongst general dross.

Have to complain though, how can a poll of unfunny comedians not include Little and Large, Cannon and Ball, and one Ive had the misfortune of seeing live, Fank Sidebottom!

Oh, and agree on Lenny, he was hilarious back in the '80s, just seems to have gotten a bit too far up himself these days

 

[The Big Shrimp]

So much sh!te not included on this Poll. Harry Hill, Lee Evans, Punt & Dennis, Cannon & Ball.

Other than Harry Hill, I've seen the others live & found them to be shockingly poor. How I got talked into watching C & B is still a mystery to this day. Lee Evans used to be the compere at the Jokers Club at the Cliffs Pavillion numerous years ago. He was so poor, he died every time & usually several times a night. He's still doing the same material now!!

As for Frank Skinner, a quality stand up. I seen him several times & he is the DB's! His adlibs & put downs are blinding. You will not be disappointed.

 

[Bluesmanager]

Of those options, I'd say Julian Clarey, just cause he sounds like a div.

Glad to see Harry Hill's nowhere to be found.

 

[BrettieAngell]

There's a few there that I don't find funny but I went for Jo Brand because she really annoys me.
