So last night after coming home from a gruelling hours 6 a side game I come home to find Mrs P and daughter watching the Miranda box set !!!??? WTF how many times can you find a fat woman with a stupid haircut falling over funny anyway this got me thinking of the worst comedian and how bad comedy is now
so top 3 worst comics at the moment
Miranda Hart Sarah F ucking Milligan David Williams - yes we know your camp it aint funny so feck off
And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles
Brian Moore
Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. He runs like a cheetah, his crosses couldn't be sweeter. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore.
I despair at modern humour. I read this morning that the funniest joke at this year's Edinburgh Festival was voted: “ I dated a zookeeper, but he turned out to be a cheetah” Yeah, roll over Chic Murray, Tony Hancock et al.
Oh yeah, Fielding is just a not funny in any way... Kind of looks like he should be, but just isn't. I saw him on the box briefly whilst channel hopping the other night and thought exactly the same as you.
seems to have stolen a living by appearing on all those programmes like 8 out of 10 cats/Never Mind the Buzzcocks (Why did you bother bringing that one back Sky???). And then appears randomly as a regular on Bake Off ... when I'm sure he knows absolutely nothing about baking (bizarre!).

In fairness without seeing how the delivery is, or how it is performed in context of the overall set, its impossible to judge it fairly. The whole list looks incredibly tame when just typed out on a news website, but in the heat of the moment might actually be pretty funny.

I'll always respect Frankie Boyle for his comment on Muse in this video. 1m19s in.
Funnily enough Noel drops some of his luxury comedy on this bit, entirely killing it.

Yep. Andrew Lawrence sums today's comedy pretty well i think, citing that 'joke'.
you'll have to cut and paste because i still can't post links for some reason.
I'll give pretty much everyone a good few chances to make me laugh but Rosie Jones is one I just can't get on with. I've tried and tried but her timing is all over the place and jokes are tired.
I bloody love Count Arthur Strong. One of the funniest characters in the last 20 years.
A fuggin long time ago...I saw Billy Connolly in New Jersey. Myself and another Wembley man were summering in New York when a Glaswegian we were pally with informed us of his upcoming gig over the other side of the Hudson. "Would we like to go?" Our minds made up in the positive once he said he was driving a small bus and, that was picking up a party of Scottish gents coming over for a long weekend in 'the Big Apple'. This might be a hoot thought we. How right we were. Two minutes into the ride, after said Glasgow lads boarded and the introductions had been made, one of their group, a Michael Walsh (never forgot his name), asked our mate the driver, "woot is wrong wit yeer vice pal", to our mate the driver? A man, who up to this point, had sounded pretty Scottish to me. Apparently, he'd strayed from the homeland vernacular and had some explaining to do! Anyway, quickly reverting to an intelligible, unintelligible strain of English, we continued on to the great city of Kearney where the Big Yin was doing his thing. Much excited by the potential of these hard nose wise crackers who had absolutely no intention of conforming to another society's norms (I'll skip the confusion in the sandwich shop and the alarm of the local law enforcement when crossing a major thoroughfare), into Mr Connolly's show we did go. Oh yeah, wasn't five minutes in before the question of Connolly's new 'Hollywood' credentials arose, giving the mainly expat audience huge laughs and a complete about turn in his material and delivery, leading to a damn good night out. Unfortunately, myself and my Wembley sidekick had to get a local bus back to the Port Authority, either the sweaties got sick of us or our reluctance to leave a local bar inhabited by plaid shirted men, left them abandoning us in the land of Bruce Springsteen.
Another vote for Jimmy Carr for me. I think he mixes it up well and he has been on the money for a long time. He's good and finds good pockets of space between being funny and offensive.
Only really one comic I saw live that bombed was Billy Connolly in the mid 90's at Hammersmith Odeon. He really struggled. Kept referring to notes on a little chair he had on stage. Maybe had an off night.
the likes of Frankie Boyle and Jimmy Carr tend to divide opinion but i'm fine with both and going to see Frankie do a warm up gig in a small venue next month.
Miranda, Sarah Millican and the worst of the bunch Rosie Jones are pretty awful and in the latter's case a lot of box ticking by TV execs is to blame.
some of those mentioned on here are better live than TV. John Bishop is a good example, I can't stand his TV but had the chance to see an informal warm up gig and thought i'd give it a go and he was less smug and annoying and actually very good.
Tom Allen does some excellent crowd work and that for me is always a good sign of comedy talent; rather than the bake off type shite they all hope to get signed up for.
lots of comedians now doing sketches completely reliant on their race, sex etc as the woke take over the world.
Paul Smith from Liverpool is quite the opposite and worth going to see if you get the chance; apart from being a red that is.
