    Jack Whitehall is one of the biggest bluffers on the tv.

    I used to watch Mock the Week year ago when Frankie Boyle was on . Russell Howard was the worst person on the show , he'd do weird impressions and tell jokes that'd make no sense, I can't believe hes still making a career out of comedy. Obviously some people find him funny but I can't see why

    Frankie Boyle. There are no words. The firing squad is too good for him.

    I dunno Milton Jones is fairly poor on mock the week I know his whole approach is one liners but he really doesn't have to do stupid faces for effect the joke is funny or it isnt.

    Deirdre O Kane is probably the only female ‘comedian’ to get as much as a ‘ha’ out of me.

    Alison Spittle - no contest

    Typical misogynist belittling her physical appearance instead of addressing her comedic talent.

    Oh wait.

    In fairness..... David McSavage has some genuinely funny characters. The savage Eye was excellent and refreshing as very few comics take risks anymore.

    Seen Des Bishop long time ago in the comedy club on the keys think the place is gone now. He is still doing the same stuff. If i could hand out of 4th medal Andrew Maxwell is a defo. He is shocking.

    I went to see Russell Howard last year in Dublin. The tickets were a gift. I never heard of him before going.

    It was dreadful! He spent the whole show poking fun at the conservative party and conservative people in general. Does everything have to be heavily politicized these days? The crowd lapped it up all the same.
    I was expecting more creative humour than just cheap jokes.

    That’s his act in fairness. He does a program that critiques he weeks news.

    I don’t like his comedy at all, but you can hardly give out about politicised comedy from someone who’s entire career is based on political comedy.

    That bearded guy who posts videos of himself sitting in his car shouting in an exaggerated rural accent. He's about as funny as an aids diagnosis.

    I used to find him tedious because, yeah, 'shock comedy' stops being shocking when it's just a constant barrage and you're essentially building an entire act around the worst elements of your horrible cunty audience. Although I watched one of his more recent shows on Netflix and found parts of it really good, far more thoughtful than his 'Mock the Week' drivel.

    He had a great joke about Jeremy Corbyn a few years ago, referring to him hypothetically becoming prime minister and then dying suddenly on a countryside walk, only for it to later emerge that he had kicked himself to death.

    I didn't realise fake fb comedians counted.

    In that case the roaring lad in the car and Rory's Stories have to take gold. One day scientists will discover and cure the defect that causes people to find that ****e funny, until then, they're in my prayers.

    To be fair to all the bad comedians for a minute, I think half the problem is that to build a profile these days you have to be pucking stuff out on the social media pretty much constantly..no one is that funny or diverse enough to keep it interesting.. They kind of get stuck in a character or several characters as well so like, if you see something, and like their page or whatever, within a month it's old.. a year later you're like "ah, that prick in the car.." or whatever..

    Is it not kind of odd too that so many view it as a career choice.. like, really, I shouldn't be seeing your Facebook comedy page until you've been hammering out your set for a year at dodgy comedy clubs..

    We have a winner. Friends or family need to take him aside and gently explain to him that he's not funny.

    David O'Doherty and Joe Wilkinson. Saw them on panel shows. They both have the same stick. Trying to act the spacer, try to act a bit zany. Not funny, just tedious.

    Went to the Olympia about 10yrs back to see Patrick Kielty (free tickets), utterly woeful, spent the first 10minutes joking about Madeline McCann, if i was the person then who i am now i'd have stood up and walked out.

    Support guy was Adam Hills who was class

    Boyle's "jokes" about Down Syndrome and disabled child "fking" his mother exposed him for the vile creature he is.

    His politics give him immunity from the commissars.

    He's a massive hypocrite. Made his name with edgy jokes and has now gone woke.

    I know everyone has different tastes so i get that but just looking for who they think is the least funny comedian operating today. Also who gets the silver and who would get the bronze. Not looking for reasons just names. I will start.

    Gold: Russell Howard
    Silver: Jason Byrne
    Bronze: Des Bishop

    At the end hopefully be a consensus and we can award the medals.


    russell howard is the gold for sure.

    Luckily his edgy jokes were all targeted towards conservatives, white celebrities and the middle class.

    His transition to woke was easy because he never took a pop at the left
