This is almost as subjective as asking who is the best footballer ever.

In no particular order, but only counting those still working,

Daniel Kitson, Ross Noble and a bit of a wildcard entry, The boy with tape on his face.

John Bishop is not remotely funny. I have problems trying to fathom out how he keeps appearing on television and on stage.

I hate his face. I loathe his walk. I detest his voice. I am irritated by his slow sound bite and his unfunny stories that any woman or bloke tells in the pub or to a few workmates.

I can't handle the fact he pretends to hail from Liverpool.

He's not just unfunny he's embarrasing.

"Jimmy Carr was brilliant if your not to pc

Being P.C. is why I find him funny.

Take away offence and most of his act has gone.

Pushing boundaries is why I like him.

I was not offended by the joke he made and had to apologise for. I did sort of want him to refuse but I guess if you want mainstream airtime you have to be a good boy and pretend to be sorry.

Most funny people are so funny and political and irreverant that mainstream T.V. wouldn't air them.

The planet is being slowly sanitised.

You daren't show your true humour here or you'd be poofed by a.....I nearly said poofter then. Ninja.

"Nina Conti is awesome, her act is hilarious"

I don't find her funny.

She is a good ventriliquist. Maybe i've seen the helpless human dummy too many times over the decades.

Funny female comediennes -

Rivka Uttley, Robyn Perkins and Erika Benning. They are all up and coming, not famous at all. In fact I don't think any are getting paid work, but give them time and they'll get there.

I hope so. But you will forgive me for never having heard of them.

Due to harrassment i'm posting this now instead of having time to mull it over.

For the record Sara Millican is NOT funny nor is Miranda Hart nor for me is Shappi Korshandi.

But I do like :

Joan Rivers, Jo Brand, Keri Godliman, Helen Lederer, Sandi Toksvig, Ruby Wax, Gina Yashere, Rhona Cameron, Elaine C Smith, Whoopi Goldberg, Helen Degeneres, Victoria Wood, Sarah Silverman, Susan Calman, Katherine Ryan, Sara Pascoe, Lucy Porter, Josie Long, Susie Essman, Betty White, Melissa McCarthy, Andi Osho, Aisling Bea, Ava Vidal, Chelsea Handler, Alan Carr

Oops ... It's Ellen De Generes. xx

Most of them are stand up ... there are very funny women in comedy sketches, plays and films as well as writers behind the men you laugh at.

Dara o briain..saw him live and after the show I felt like id been in a boxing match. I hurt from my belly to my face from laughing.

Avoid reginald d hunter...I walked out and shot him down when he had a go. His warm up act was funnier, and he was canadian...

Subjective, but Kitson is probably the best comedian working today.

He's the comedian's comedian apparently. I saw him live years ago at a tiny comedy club. Sheer joy.

"Way to hard to choose so I'll go top 3 of who I've seen live:-

Micky Flanagan

Jason Manford

Eddie Izzard

Loved early Izzard.

Tim Minchin

Lee Mack is razor sharp

Early Eddie Murphy

Lee Evans

Lots more.

But can I just say this without appearing misogynistic...No women have proven to be funny over time.

I have no idea why, but it may be something to do with their delivery. Even Sarah Millican (whose delivery I like) is only humorous with occasional LOL moments.

I would gladly be proven wrong here

Suzy Ruffle is good.

Has to be Alan carr, I like him cause he isn't that offensive and makes fun out of himself.

A lot of the comedians mentioned can't make a joke without being extremely offensive.

Bennard manning was quite funny tho, I wonder if he was racist or misunderstood, was painful seeing him telling indian racists jokes to an indian crowd in india, a pin could drop and u would here it and the crickets singing in the background.
