Doug Stanhope, Louis CK (although he does talk too much about his kids these days), Neil Hamburger, all good comedians.

In defence of women comedians (not Crappy Shappi though) Katherine Ryan was decent at the Corn Exchange the week before last.

Lenny Henry. Totally unfunny in my view. How he can be described as a comedian is beyond me.

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.

Saw him live a few years back, apologies but he was poor. Think a few other NSCers went and were in consensus.

Ah well, we'll see tonight

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.

From this I would rank them as follows:

Very sharp and naturally funny:

David Mitchell
Sandi Toksvig
Bill Bailey
Alan Davies
Bob Mortimer
Vic Reeves
Rich Hall
Ross Noble
Andy Hamilton
Danny Baker (not really a comedian though)
Barry Cryer

Quite sharp and reasonably naturally amusing:

Rob Bryden
Lee Mack
Jack Whitehall
Rhod Gilbert
Kevin Bridges
Greg Davies
Jo Brand
Sean Lock
Jack Dee
Johnny Vegas
Clive Anderson
Sarah Millican
Julian Clary
Ronny Ancona

Not naturally funny and desperately need a script:

Jimmy Carr
Phil Jupitus
Dara O'Briein
Jason Manford
Sue Perkins
Shappi Khorsandi
Eddie Izzard
Rory Bremner

Yes, I am VERY bored.

Most in your top tier would send me to sleep, think Bremner and Dara O'brien are funny and Izzard was great in Day of the triffids although his comedy skills are lacking.

Russell Howard and Russell Kane are both unfunny annoying ****s also Keith lemon, and TV shows I think the big bang theory is one of the worst things I've ever seen
