Worst current comedians.

Plenty of crap ones who just speak waffle without saying anything like McEntyre, Gervais, Des Bishop, O'Doherty and Maxwell but the worst are
Lee Evans who is just the most boring childish fool who I actually judge people based on their opinion of him
And the other is Jack Whitehall who is the only one mentioned on the thread so far who makes me physically angry. He doesn't have any jokes it's all just prancing about going wow I'm such a toff I love rugger isn't it mad bants. It's like someone doing a stage play of Ross O'Carroll-Kelly but not realising it's supposed to be a comedy

Yeah, Jack Whitehall has to be one of the worst out there. Can't stand him.

Sir stevo Timothy something or other ?

Insufferable bore

Farmer Michael he is.


Romesh Ranganathan gets on my wick. His whole patter is basically 'God, I hate my family'.
Jack Dee did all that 20 years ago, and was much better.

Why the negativity folks.

Where is the best comedians thread. If a guy ain't funny, i'm not spending time talking about his lack of funniness.

He compared Live At The Apollo.

Maybe it was the few drinks taken but JV on the Last Leg a while ago brought tears of laughter between the pair of us.

There was a long running thread about the same topic ...

And the run away winner (loser) was the epically unfunny Jason Byrne.

Followed by ALL female comedians.

He's more of a podcaster pretending to be a comedian, but Brendan Schaub is the most dreadful attempt at comedy I've ever seen.

His attempt at a UFC career was hilarious tho.

I've never found him particularly funny but the documentaries he's made for BBC4 on American history & culture are quite good.

I saw him last year in the Roisin Dubh, I found him genuinely hilarious.

Jason Byrne wins it for me, he seems to have mistaken volume for humour.

Neil Delamere gets gold for me. Comes across as quite a nasty individual too.

At least nasty is a form of personality something which plenty are lacking in comedy

"He should've lost his fu**ing rod licence" was the line that good me laughing like mad.

Very funny.

Forgot about lee evans. Didnt think he was still going. He probably joint gold. He just runs around sweating. Jack Whitehall another one who never tells jokes so probably can't even class him as a comedian. Still for me Russell Howard just shades the gold man he is stealing a living but fair play to him.

So true, as have Shouty Tiernan, Shouty Vegas and Shouty Evans.


I also find Susan Calman tediously unfunny.

Not into his stand up but some of his sketches on the Chappelle Show were amazing like his pissakes of Prince and even better Rick James that he done with Charlie Murphy

Thelonious Monk

I think they're pretty much all terrible these days, the only one who I find consistently hilarious and insightful is Louis CK. His latest show after the metoo stuff was brilliant. Frankie Boyle is pretty good sometimes, although some of his jokes fall flat.

It was also funny to see Joe Rogan tell him, in no uncertain terms, that he didn't have what it takes to succeed in the UFC.

Michael McIntyre's stand up was great when he first came on the scene, but his Saturday night television show is genuinely the cringiest thing I have ever seen. Immediately have to leave the room if I see it on.

Any comedian that resorts to incorporating a parent into their act is bad. Romesh Ranganathan has his mother on some show he does now, and Jack Whitehall does stuff with his Dad. I never found them funny beforehand, and this new "addition" doesn't add to the humour either.

I genuinely don't find stand up that funny. It's like 'oh cool observation' but other than that, don't find it that entertaining. It's like I find because their sole purpose is to make you laugh, it makes it less funny. My friends love your man James Acaster and it's just like, no!

One of the best comedians back during the turn of the century. Gave it all up and retired. Has come back recently, doing a Netflix deal, but while funny, doesn't seem to be his best.

As well as standup, he had his own show (sketches), and was in a number of movies.

And, while he is black, even some of his stuff would be too edgy/unwoke for today's audience. I always loved his whitefacing, or even his "white man's voice".

Oh, and it's Dave, not David.

you're basically saying you hate bad comedy, if you listen to good comedy you might like it.
is your only exposure to comedy on mainstream tv?

The R Kelly sketch.

Or the Clayton Bigsby sketches (2 parts). No way he'd get away with that now, even as a black man.

That's true about the parents. Baz Ashwamy did shows with Mammy Ashwamy as well. The interesting thing in all those cases is that the parent becomes more popular and is way more entertaining than the 'entertainer'.

after he won the Edinburgh Festival i saw him in dublin - small spot I cant recall the name. He was fantastic . This would have been 1997-1998 ish.


Told all the lads about him and soon he had a show on BBC or ITV
It was utter gash. The lads abused me.


I have seen him since and he is rubbish. really bad.
I dunno, probably was always just a flash in the pan.

Russell Howard recently walked out of a small gig as someone was filming his new material I think she done people a favour.

I am not sure if this person is meant to funny or a comedian but one person who is brutal is Doireann Garrihy. She had a series of impersonating people on the RTE player and it was meant to be funny but it was brutal.

When she drops the impressions and just sticks to one accent she’s very good on the radio. The clown woke McDermott brings her down

Ya, she might be fine.
To be honest I think McDermott is by far the worst RTE have ever employed.

It kind of is, making a living talking about all things sapphic. I find her about as funny as a cluster of throbbing haemorrhoids (thankfully I've been spared them so far). She also seems to fancy herself as a comedic art historian too but there's no passion there.
Give me Sister Wendy any day.

No, she does a lot of stuff about art history too. I watched her YouTube special and didn't find it laugh-out-loud funny. It was witty, clever and very impressively constructed, but I've laughed more at Lee Mack's stand up shows, if I'm honest. More a brilliant lecture than a comedy set. She can be funny when she wants to be though. This clip (about being a lesbian and feeling alienated from the whole 'Pride' carnival) is very funny and well delivered.

breezy1985

Quiet a few out there like her at the moment where I like what they are saying but find it more interesting than funny.

Very few right now with that Billy Connolly style craft of making a simple story seem hilarious
