Michael MacIntyre, watching him live is the only time I have actually cried with laughter
Getting the kids in the car is a great bit .
The dentist bit is absolutely classic as well.

Yeah, seen McIntyre and Gervais live, both fantastic. Jarred Christmas and Tim Vine I saw at a 4 kiwis night out in Chiswick, Vine is an absolute one liner king.
Daniel Simonsen is one I'd like to see more of:
Going to see Rhod Gilbert in April, looking forward to that - one of my fave clips:

Sean Lock is top for me. Also Katherine Ryan, although to be fair I’m not fussed if there’s no sound.
Would. Mrs went t see her last year, said she crapped on in a girl power style too much and wasn't all that funny in the long run. Mrs has a terrible sense of humour though.

Leigh Hart
He said comedians
Edit: I see that has been discussed ...
GFYs
-
Leigh Hart - not funny
Michael McIntyre - I can see how my parents would find it funny. Me... not so much. He's a young incarnation of Bruce Forsyth. Just... dad-humour.
Ron White - I got about 5 minutes into that video before that audience did my head in.
Katherine Ryan - not as hot as some people seem to think... horse-face. And fully realising/admitting that the first female mentioned is being rated on fuckability rather than humour-talent. On that humour-talent... from what I've seen (solely on UK quiz shows)- reasonable.
Reginald D Hunter - decent enough.
Rhod Gilbert - funny, mind doesn't work the way a human mind should. His shit on Taskmasters... just, WTF?
Daniel Simonsen - decent.
Sean Lock - has grown on me... just some random shit at times
Lee Mack - not my flavour of humour, but he's fucking quick
David Mitchell - amusing, but can't imagine him doing an entire stand-up
Jimmy Carr - amusing (Edit: yeah: @taniwharugby punchable AF)
Frankie Boyle - amusing
Edit:
James Acaster - the more I see of this guy, the funnier he seems... although obviously an engineered "personality"
Ricky Gervais - I quite liked his early stuff, but after he got smug as a fucking smug thing... just a little too.. smug? -
@No-Quarter yeah some of McIntyres stuff is brilliant, Humanity was SUPERB, I am not a big fan of Gervais, but that was solid gold!
I also watched one of Jimmy Carrs shows on Netflix, some very funny stuff, but man he has a punchable face and annoying AF laugh.

Bill Burr is brilliant. Pretty much any angry black comedian from the 70s and 80s was hilarious, including Red Fox:
I always found those Live at the Apollo comedians good value.
Pre-meltdown Dave Chappelle was next level.

I just googled her.
I think I'd rather have an intimate night with Ursula Carlson than Hannah Gadsby....

@MN5 you're a strange fella....I'd rather cut my nuts off with a plastic spoon than look at either of them!
Im just saying if I had to choose.
I'm making the point I find her EVEN MORE physically repulsive than UC. Which is quite an achievement .

Chappelles show Rick James skit is one of THE funniest things you'll ever see. Helped hugely by The late Rick himself and Eddies late older brother.
