John ( professional scouser ) Bishop ?

horribly unfunny idiot

That’s the guy who purposefully exaggerates his accent to hammer home the point that he is a “scouser”.

Terribly unfunny

About as funny as a sh*tstain on a pillowcase.

He’s more of a “personality” than a comedian

Presumably the bbc give him lots of work for diversity reasons etc.

Certainly not for his comedy talent

Can't agree with that one.......he does a good stand up routine, a " no holds barred" kinda show

That whole cohort of Tom Allen, Romesh types who do the circuit of panel games are all as funny as an infant in a meat grinder.

Is he still on the go?

He’s the epitome of the middle class “golf club funny man”

Strumms

Jeez, that’s I name I haven’t heard in years.

Still doing the same act. 81 and looking every day of it. He was never funny, just a capable enough presenter who could amuse auld wans.

Both his parents are Irish.....does that exclude him from the listing.

And he did it all without being, overtly, racist and not “interfering” with kids. No mean feat in those days.

Stewart Lee has a good routine about Tom O’Connor:)


It’s about his mother telling him it’s great he’s making a go at the comedy but he’s no Tom o Connor , now there’s a comedian

Leigh Francis in the form of his alter-ego, Keith Lemon.

He was funny for his time but comedy has gone harder now, Jimmy Carr, Frankie Boyle etc. The Blackpool pier mother in law jokes, Paddy, Paki, poofter etc are history. I remember Jim "Bullseye" Bowen telling the joke about bus fares in Birmingham being increased by three ruppees.

I cannot believe Tom O'Connor is still alive. My auld fella had a soft spot for him cos he knew him a bit from his Merseyside club days, but he was always shyte. Only 81 too, I thought he'd be about 95.

Painfully unfunny

I remember somebody saying the election of Trump was great news for crap comedians and bad news for good ones. They weren’t wrong.

Nish Kumar has dined out on this something horrid.

I'd have to disagree. I am a fan of very dark, dry humour but I actually quite liked some of Taskmaster. Not it all but some skits did genuinely make me laugh out loud. I only found out about in in past 2 weeks and watched probably the best of it. It did become very repetitive and banal after a while though. I do find him somewhat painful on it. It's gone on 9 series too long.

don't like him either due to his size he comes across as a thundering bully, probably is

remember him on some panel show once and he had one of the Jedward twins on the verge of tears...and him an ex-teacher

Hangdogroad

That beardy fella who looks like one of the Isis Beatles, always on Frankie Boyle panel show.

sheesh
