Xuandong Ren.

The guy literally offered to fight a Blues fan who didn't like him.

"You want come."

Classic.

I don't know Tom Stade. But I don't think Stu Francis is from the UK, he's Canadian but was based in the UK. Although he is OK. Not in the league of some I put in the poll, but he's ok..

Sean Lock was a good one, but i don't really care for stand up in general.

Infact watch the show "Meet the Richardsons" which his wife mainly wrote. It's a great show. Jon is good in it but his wife steels the show. And I'm not being biased just because she from Hull.

Try that Tom Stade link for a taste ..

These two are rarities like Tommy Cooper where they can make you laugh and smile without saying a word

Bernard was very funny in his day, so was les dawson, but i think my personal favourite is Billy

I would give an honourable mention to Dave Allen because he was not UK, but thats where he had all his success

Sarah Milican? Me and you need to have a sit down meeting where I am chastiseing you.

She's not funny Neem. She's just stolen Jo Brand's jokes about eating cake. And Jo Brand is not that funny. But at least more original tha Milican.

I can't believe you're making me defend Jo Brand. I prefer Milican as a person.
