ah, well, #2 is good enough. Not so big on Connolly but he can be brilliant.

Believe me, Connolly is an absolute legend. Every gig I have of his on DVD is laugh out loud stuff and the most incredible thing about it is that he maintained his brilliance for so long, with his gigs from the 70's, 80's and 90's all having that mark of quality that you always expect from him. Nobody makes me wet myself as often as he does, you know?

Izzard in the top 5? Really? I think I'm just one of these people that never really "got it" with him. Too cuddly and "good-natured".

You say those like they're bad things

I just love how he can draw humour from the most mind-numbingly dull things, like the beekeeping thing. And Darth Vader in the canteen

Eddie Izzard is an amazing man but I've never taken to him as a comedian.

'Marathon Man' on the BBC (4 part series) following his marathons is outstanding

Is he gay? (that isn't a sterotype question, I was just wondering)

I like Michael McIntyre but I can see myself quickly finding him boring as regards to stand up. He'll be better on panel shows now to keep his comedy refreshing and quit witted

I can't see 12 year olds liking Ricky Gervais. and McIntyre was #11.

I'd like to know how the Hell Victoria Wood made it that far :|
