Seen him twice live and his stand up is brilliant. Totally bonkers but very funny. He is massive in Australia and regularly sells out large venues over there.
Also have to pull @AFKA up on Greg Davies. His last stand up tour was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Left the venue in Tunbridge Wells with jaw ache I was laughing so much.
Michael McIntyre. I despair for the human race when that bloke can sell out arenas and millions of DVDs producing that lowest common denominator drivel.
Having said that I think Jerry Sadowitz is a (mental) genius, and he's hardly everyones cup of tea!

Hmm.
some are completely different doing stand up but I just couldn't see myself liking him. Different strokes and all that as I didn't find Greg Davies' stand up funny either.
Bad - Jo and Russell Brand, Miranda in fact all bird comedians except Ruby Wax and Jo Caulfield! Good - Ruby Wax, Flanagan, Billy Connolly, Milton Jones!
I saw Stephen Amos at up the creek ages ago - agree, he was very funny. Absolutely destroyed a heckler - best I've ever seen at that, other than Jerry Sadowitz. He's still doing a lot of the same stuff years later though. Mind you, so is Micky Flanagan.
I've changed my opinion on comedians I thought were previously unfunny.
Lee Mack, actually quite funny on would I lie to you.
Jack Whitehall, thought he was posh, boring and predictable. He is those things but he's more of the James cordon type, funny in places but but more of a people person/actor then comedian.
David Mitchell is a very funny guy that has yet to be tested in stand up comedy I believe.
Can't believe we have got this far down and no one has mentioned Russell Howard. Dreadful.
Was literally just scrolling to the bottom to post this. 100%. It's not just that he's unfunny but...actually don't even get me started, he's appalling and is stealing a living.

Those of you slagging off female comedians clearly aren't aware of Sarah Silverman, or are we limiting ourselves to the UK?

That Chatty Man twat (Carr ?) - Just awful.
Michael Mcintyre was good but not so much lately.
The obnoxious / really obnoxious Scottish bloke with the beard who just tries to cause upset.
The Iranian woman who within 10 words will tell you she is an Iranian woman.
The blonde ish (Northern Irish ?) woman who talks in 3 second sentences.
I actually dislike a lot of them, but there are a large number in total.
Also, Marc Wootton and Jocelyn whatserface are deserving of special dislike as they are both utter toilet, yet managed to get tv shows.
McIntyre and Howard also both offend me greatly.
And Southend, Stephen K Amos was probably the funniest comedian I have ever seen live down at Up the Creek. Absolute magician at working the audience.

There is a god after all.
Also find Ian Stone irritating.
Proper northern bird.
Before slagging off everyone else mentioned on here.
