Romesh Ranganathan

For those of you that don't know this guy is the bearded asian comedian who is constantly on your fired on the appreciate. Basically I just don't think hes funny and don't think I'm alone yet hes constantly up for bbc awards and gets a lot of platform. I can't help think he gets his platform because of his ethnic group rather than his talent. Am i alone here ...

I don't find him very funny either, I like when comedians can laugh at their own jokes but he always has that serious act on...

I like him.
I know what you mean though as the BBC undoubtedly go out of their way to promote ethnic minority comedians. I think the "hideously white" shadow of Gregg Dyke looms large over them.

I think he's a great comedian but probably because I'm Asian so a lot of the jokes are really funny to me! I find him hilarious :smile:

He kicks the arse of that talentless,shouty gob****e Russell Howard and yet he keeps getting series after series.
I love Romesh's sardonic wit.
