    Here are my ones, have never found Vince Vaughan funny at all and could only watch Russell Brand on comedy central for 5 minutes, before switching off. Really, really awful.

    Michael McIntyre, sweet Jesus, a hundred times Michael McIntyre. A posh toff flouncing about the stage with his sub-90's Seinfeld observational ****e does not a good comedian make.

    These threads always reek of "Myeh, I could soooo be a comedian if I wanted! I made all my mates laugh this one time!" Give it another 10 posts and you'll see...

    Lee Evans. He's uncomfortable to watch but there's always the chance he might slip on a puddle of his own sweat.

    I don't really get Russell Brand, waiting for the rest of the world to catch up.

    Always thought he was funny on TV and went to see him in the Olympia - he was awful. Just stood there reeling out one liner after one liner with no sense of delivery or pacing at all.

    Exactly the same for me, seen him in the olympia a few years back and it's not something I'd ever bother with again.

    had the opposit view about Tommy Tiernan. Never really noticed him but got a present of tickets about 4/5 years go (maybe more). Went and had a cracking night. Thought he was hilarious.

    Someone thought I'd like the DVD of that show for xmas. When I watched it I couldn't believe how unfunny he was. I could remember some of the lines but theywere just awful

    So he may be a brilliant hypnotist, or I may have had my drink spiked. I'm not ruling out anything (except future visits to Tommy Tiernan)

    Dara O'Briain, while he can be funny at times I find that is outweighed by how annoying he is. I especially can't stand the thing he does where he makes a comment then pauses waiting for a laugh and proceeds to laugh at his own joke.

    Absolute bull. There are some amazing comedians from Ireland and the UK. I prefer them to American ones any day.

    Des bishop. Not funny at all..

    Stewart Lee really isn't as funny or as profound as his disciples think he is.

    Phill Jupitus, somebody should tell him his material is far from funny and shouting certainly doesn't make it any better.
