Sort of comedians that don’t crack you up

A place to argue this matter

Hell yeah,, only I've blocked them out for the ones that have proved funny, like seen it 20times and still laughing

Wait have we mentioned Bill Maher yet

Jimmy Carr.

Saw him live in maybe 2004, thought it was funny then. Was made to sit through a Netflix special recently, and didn't understand why everyone I was with was laughing.

Are there any good comedians any more? I can't remember the last time one of them made me laugh.

I can't actually remember the last time I laughed.

Or smiled.

Mark Steel?

Egg

Daniel Kitson

Mark Steel comes across as a lovely guy with impeccable politics, but not exactly lol funny. Kitson I used to see a lot and have never been let down - one of the greatest performances I ever saw was him improvising and tearing into a Late and Live Edinburgh crowd. Haven't seen him in 7-8 years, but hope he's not lost it.

I've seen him fairly regularly over the years since ~2007 and he's mellowed a bit, got more story-focused but still absolutely guaranteed an entertaining evening whatever he's doing. Obviously not the point, but as a fellow speech-impediment sufferer the fact he does what he does with a fairly severe stammer is fucking wild and just makes him all the more impressive.

Russel Howard is just awful

100% this

in a similar vein - Mike Birbiglia

I just want to share the opinion that Jerry Seinfeld is a terrible comic actor, and was absolutely carried by the genius of Michael Richards, Jason Alexander, and in particular, Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

John Bishop I've always been amazed by his popularity especially as he's not just being shoe horned in to bump up some diversity quota

Joe Wilkinson
Katherine Ryan
Romesh Ranganathan
Josh Widdicombe
Greg Davies
Kevin Bridges

All dire IMO

Stewart Lee?

No he's clever funny.

Kevin Bridges is not bad either.

Problem today is things are so unfair it's no longer laughable.

Saw Kitson doing a work in progress recently after wanting to see him for years. Did not disappoint.

Frankie Boyle
Michael Mcintyre
Peter Kay
Reeves and Mortimer (though they do both seem to be quite funny when they’re not near each other, particularly on programmes like WILTY)

There, I said it.

When you suss out Bridges rhythm, everything he does is the same. He's funny in Glasgow....

Peter Kay

+1, never really got why he's so popular. His standup is not funny, his TV shows aren't funny.
