    This poll will fail.

    1. You can't think of every comedian everyone on this forums knows.
    2. This means you'll have an option of other
    3. Other in a poll = fail

    Don't bother with a poll.

    Lee Evans... something about him sweating like a pig makes him hilarious. His jokes aren't too bad either :P

    Erm Frankie Boyle and Chris Rock are great

    Lee Evans, Jason Manford, Katt Williams, Russell Brand (before Hollywood knew his name), Chris Rock, Jake Whitehall, Frankie Boyle, Jon Richardson, Sean Lock and Russell Peters. No women I'm afraid.

    Ross Noble
    I went to his stand up and laughed so much I stopped breathing for most of the time. My throat hurt for the rest of the week.

    I also like Miranda, some of the stuff she says just stays with me and makes me burst out laughing in awkward moments, Milton Jones, Ed Byrne, Russell Brand, Stephen Merchant, Tim Minchin, Jon Richardson etc.
