Surprised they passed over Maron, who essentially invented the comedy podcast, and is killing it on GLOW.
It was perhaps too much to ask for them to have included Scott Aukerman or Lauren Lapkus, but a boy can always dream…

All lists are bullshit etc etc

But the right answer is Daniel Kitson.

Everyone in the list can kiss Key and Peele’s arse.

Feels just crazy to do a list like this, comedy is so individual. To include Louis CK is just an extra level of awful.

I like how Peter Kay must’ve become too divisive and controversial to appear in this list. Guardian.

#39

He’s been rendered obsolete by those memes Brexiters share on FB about how they used to ride their bikes into quarries and have siphoned petrol for tea I think.

Think I prefer buildings

You’d be expected to LYAO at the best comedian though?

#42

Peter Kay has only done Car Share in the 21st Century, hasn’t he? Everything else recycled from his 20th Century show.

What the fuck is Noel Fielding doing in a list of comedians, let alone a list of good comedians?

In fairness the Mighty Boosh was entertaining.

It’s easy to forget that because of everything he’s done since then.

Knowing Noel Fielding he’s verbing a concrete noun of abstract noun.

What did Stephen K Amos do?

I avoid commenting on lists. But on this occasion:

Sara Pascoe’s too low.

Bridget Christie shouldn’t be in there at all.

James Acaster. I honest to God do not get it but I guess a lot of people think he’s that good so…

Already performed this joke please see the post below

Sexually assaults other male comedians on the circuit. He’s been pulled from a few festivals and other events as a result. He assaulted a guy I know, twice, and he reported it to his management and they didn’t even respond, both times it was also reported to the police but :woman_shrugging:

Someone commented on my friend’s facebook a while ago saying: ‘I told a promoter about what he did and they told me that I shouldn’t go spreading negative things about people as I’ll get a reputation and nobody will want to book me. Speaking up about this stuff in the comedy industry is literally worse than sexual assault’

From what I’ve read he often has other people with him at the time to help intimidate the victim, taking their phone from them, and I read that he shows up to Grindr dates with his ‘manager’ who is quite insistent on getting the date in the car with them.
