Not so much unfunny, but living on their reputations:
Billy Connolly and Peter Kaye.
Both were brill when they started, but both are now so established as wits that they don't make that much of an effort anymore.  |

I love Billy Connollys travel programmes, he has a way of looking at life that makes you think and is simplistically amusing. |

Ricky Gervais
Steve Coogan

I enjoyed Alan Carr b4 he was properly famous. Just way too scripted now.
There are very few US comedians that I find funny too. |

He has worked incredibly hard, I have seen the show in the theatre about 6 or 7 times now....as soon as it went on the TV over here, it kinda got watered down. |

Couldn't agree more. Russell Brand and Ricky Gervais...the two most UN-funny people since time began. |

Agree with all on here except occaisional flashes from Bishop, early McIntyre and Evans.
Unfortunately I have to say that NO female has made me or any of my female friends laugh consistently.
Occasional flashes from the Geordie lass (oh err missus) but thats it.
Please dont brand me for the last comment. I wish it wasnt true

That Sara Millican is so unfunny that I didn't realise she was trying to be funny.
It's like someone's auntie had wandered into a TV studio and they've told her to recite knitting patterns. |

Two people we can't stand are Sarah Millican, and Johnny Vegas ...
surprised to see so many posts and no one has mentioned the comedy god (to us) Stewart Lee. Very much an acquired taste, and quite a select audience ... thank god for BBC2. |

"Ben Elton "
Don't think he's tried to be funny for a long time, too busy making millions from novel writing and musicals. What a Fukien turncoat, Ms thatch and all that and there he is a multi millionaire moved to Australia so doesn't have to pay UK tax  |

No, can see that, is far too self centred look at me on TV. Mind you I saw that blond comedian, you know the one that was married to Amanada Holden, did family fortunes for ages,I saw him before he was famous, he was brilliant. I don't know what happened |

same with everyone.
mainstream is where the money is, and mainstream isnt contraversial, or overtly funny, so you get the same, bland plastic comedians, much the same as plastic pop stars |

I have so much as had a chortle at any of these.
I saw Phil Cool at the theatre, who did a stage share with Jasper Carrott. Jasper was superb and I laughed so much my sides hurt. I was nice when Phil Cool came on, as it gave me recover time! |

One of the bravest stand-ups I ever heard of was a man who was unfunny on purpose, just to wind the audience up. His name is Ted Chippington, check him out! Stewart Lee cites him as a reason he got into comedy. |

I think all this thread proves is that people have different tastes doesn't it? Not that any of them are actually unfunny, because the fact that you've seen them perform somewhere says otherwise.
But for me Ricky Gervais, excellent standup, shite telly shows.
And I'd like to liberally carpet bomb a Michael McIntyre gig. |

I suppose some opf the above can be considered funny..my main thing is I dont like stand up..the very act of going to watch one persons (probably similar routine around the country)view on life, bores me.
Acts like Frankie Boyle have realized this and now seek to further peoples interest by basically picking on people you maybe shouldnt...or making fun of someones elses misfortune..
people may find it funny...as they become social hyenas, some not often even laughing at whats been said...but because others laughed...to me its pretty primal and childish
The same can be said for the likes of Jeremy Clarkston...I probably wouldnt mind if he presented Top Gear with more interest in the cars than actually being some plonker trying to make up highbrow but stupid jokes. |

Rhod Gilbert. Saw him at the Edinburgh Fringe one year and came out running to the bar to sink 2 doubles in 5 mins! Total stress. An hour of shouting and ranting and jumping about. Not funny either.
Lee Evans for the same reasons.
Met Frankie Boyle after his fringe show once and he asked me.."do you think I went too far?". My son said I probably looked like id be easily offended being old and crusty! Charming...
Seriously, if anyone is thinking of visiting Edinburgh for the festival don't hesitate. Its fabulous. I'll be your guide..maybe! Lol
