Who is the FUNNIEST Irish comedian ever?

This is meant to be a counterweight to the other thread currently live which encourages us to nominate the worst, dullest, most UNFUNNY Irish comedian ever. As a great wit of a bygone era once said: "The Irish are a very fair people; they never speak well of one another" (Dr Samuel Johnson but then you all knew that)

I think we have produced some very good comics over the years. Yes we have one or two overhyped, cliched, patronising dullards who should be prosecuted under the Trades Descriptions Act (assuming we have one) but then again, who doesn't?

I realise that many people will appear on both lists. Some people don't think Dara O'Briain is funny, for example, which I find very hard to believe but it's not as incredible as the realisation that there are people who think that Al Porter and Brendan O'Carroll are worth paying money to go and see!!!

Each to their own.

I have included a list of some of the people I think are worthy of the accolade. Some may disagree, but then, that's what that OTHER thread is for
