Who's your favourite Comedian?

Oh god, there are far too many to choose from.

I really like Ricky Gervais - I know a lot of people think he's arrogant but I think that's what makes him funny. Fan or not, you can't deny that The Office is simply brilliance.

Musical comedy never fails to make me laugh - I think comedians such as Bill Bailey, Tim Minchin, David O'Doherty are just genius.

I think Eddie Izzard is great, very naturally funny. Dara O'Briain is probably one of my favourite stand-up comedians too. I love Jack Dee's style too. Aaah there are so many wonderful comedians I could never name them all.

Peter Kay deserves a mention because he's the person who really got me interested in stand-up comedy to begin with. Granted, his most recent stuff is a bit... pants, but he still deserves recognition.

1. David Mitchell
2.Stephen Fry
3.Ross Noble.

In that order.
Hmmmm, theres so many. Bill Bailey, Ross Noble, Dara O'Briain's live shows are so good too. At the minute I really like Jon Richardson, I just love his style of story telling/comments on everyday stuff, much better than loads of other 'observational' comedians.

Alan Carr

Russel Brand

Michael McIntyre

Haven't got a favourite per say but i do really love the one liners of Tim Vine and the two Chris's, Rock and Tucker, have both induced tears of laughter in me.

Here's a useful link for Russell Brand fans. It's an archive of his BBC radio podcasts (including the infamous "Manuelgate").

Enjoy!
