Unfunny comedians

[Nibble]

Doug Stanhope, Louis CK (although he does talk too much about his kids these days), Neil Hamburger, all good comedians.

 

[Bombadier Botty]

In defence of women comedians (not Crappy Shappi though) Katherine Ryan was decent at the Corn Exchange the week before last.

 

[Scratch_Porkings]

There are some funny female comediennes, hold on let me think. Lisa Smith was hilarious, Sara millican... Hmm struggling here.

 

[Zebedee]

Lenny Henry. Totally unfunny in my view. How he can be described as a comedian is beyond me.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Lenny Henry. Totally unfunny in my view. How he can be described as a comedian is beyond me.

To be fair though, Sir Lenny did deserve his knighthood for services to non-comedy, having been consistently unfunny ever since Tiswas.

Miranda, I just don't understand why anyone would find her funny. I'm not sure that any episode of her TV series contains a joke.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Saw him live a few years back, apologies but he was poor. Think a few other NSCers went and were in consensus.

Ah well, we'll see tonight

 

[Rambo]

Another vote for John Bishop, tedious shite.

I think you can only judge how funny someone really is when they are in a pseudo non-scripted situation - the only 2 we regularly watch are QI and Would I Lie To You.

From this I would rank them as follows:

Very sharp and naturally funny:

David Mitchell
Sandi Toksvig
Bill Bailey
Alan Davies
Bob Mortimer
Vic Reeves
Rich Hall
Ross Noble
Andy Hamilton
Danny Baker (not really a comedian though)
Barry Cryer

Quite sharp and reasonably naturally amusing:

Rob Bryden
Lee Mack
Jack Whitehall
Rhod Gilbert
Kevin Bridges
Greg Davies
Jo Brand
Sean Lock
Jack Dee
Johnny Vegas
Clive Anderson
Sarah Millican
Julian Clary
Ronny Ancona

Not naturally funny and desperately need a script:

Jimmy Carr
Phil Jupitus
Dara O'Briein
Jason Manford
Sue Perkins
Shappi Khorsandi
Eddie Izzard
Rory Bremner

Yes, I am VERY bored.

Most in your top tier would send me to sleep, think Bremner and Dara O'brien are funny and Izzard was great in Day of the triffids although his comedy skills are lacking.

Al Murray, one trick pony.

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

Eddie Izard , Palace **** will never be funny all the time he's got a hole in his arse.

 

[Surrey_Albion]

Russell Howard and Russell Kane are both unfunny annoying ****s also Keith lemon, and TV shows I think the big bang theory is one of the worst things I've ever seen

 

[fat old seagull]

None of these amuse me at all. But we're all different I suppose
Russell Howard
Harry Hill
Rob Beckett
Jack Whitehall
Michael McIntyre
Allan Carr
Jimmy Carr
Al Murray.

 

[Bladders]

Al Murray, one trick pony.

With the emphasis on 'pony'. Must be a horrible life being Al Murray, knowing you've got to go out and flog that tired old act, night after night, til the mortgage is paid.
