    Mine are:

    Dylan Moran
    Dave Chappelle
    Sean Lock
    Bill Burr

    You're allowed pick less than 4, or more than 4. Between 1 and 7 is acceptable. Anything over 7 and it just becomes a list.

    My top 7, in order. Not all stand-up either, because too much stand-up can get boring.

    Billy Connolly
    Chris Morris
    Victoria Wood
    Rik Mayall
    Linda Smith
    Caroline Aherne
    Stewart Lee


    All over 50 and four of them are dead.

    Billy Connolly
    Jimmy Carr
    Dara O’Briain (saw him last week - excellent)
    Steve Martin
    hon. mention: Katherine Ryan

    PS: not a huge fan of Michael McIntyre, but he did impress me by finding comedy in a botched dental operation he had that required emergency hospital treatment. That took some skill, I thought.

    Ye Hypocrites, are these your pranks
    To murder men and gie God thanks?
    Desist for shame, proceed no further
    God won't accept your thanks for murder.

    Dylan Moran is my favourite comedian by a long shot. Billy Connelly in his prime is also up there.

    My other favourites include Bill Bailey, Joe Lycett, Sarah Millican and Dara O'Briain.

    Another vote for Rhod Gilbert
    Michael McIntyre
    Bill Bailey


    Used to like Tommy Tiernan but his jokes have just got old and hes got a bit arrogant

    Chris Morris
    Steve Coogan
    Vic and Bob
    Matt Berry



    Not comedians per se (Coogan used to and still does the odd stand up gig) but comedic giants nonetheless.
