Lenny Henry. Totally unfunny in my view. How he can be described as a comedian is beyond me.
Saw him live a few years back, apologies but he was poor. Think a few other NSCers went and were in consensus.
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.

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.

Yes, I am VERY bored.
