    Who is your favourite TV Comedian?

    Err... I can't think of anyone as they all seem smug and/or unfunny so I shall turn the question on its head.

    Which comedian would you push out to sea on a raft?

    Lee Howard for not being funny (he's just too clean cut) Paul Kay for being annoying and over egging his cheeky chappy ee bah gum ooop north schtick.

    Oh, and anyone involved in any of Stephen Fry's smugfests. And that Irish guy on Mock The Week.

    I love Dave Allen though but I think he's no longer with us

    I take it you mean Peter Kay (who isn't funny at all).
    His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        All joke-blowers are terrible, you're going to need a rather large raft.

        Jerry Sadowitz had a BBC2 series in the early nineties called 'The Pall Bearer's Revue' which is very much worth getting hold of....probably still on a BitTorrent somewhere.

          How on earth do you find time to come up with this stuff? Mind you I have to say that I do find it quite entertaining

            The comedians on the BBC are stale. Most of them come from the same stable, you get the same faces on panel shows. They are tired, boring and not funny.

            The worst though is Kieth Lemon. It'd put him on a raft. Then sink the raft.

            I did watch "Derry Girls" recently though with my teenagers. That was hilarious.

                  Oh yes, I do. PAul KAy is somebody else - Dennis Pennis. Who was quite good.

                  Yes, how did I forget him. Worst of the bunch - highly irritating.
