    Michael McIntyre .... where does he rank in the list of all time great comedians?

        Lee Evans "miming" to Bohemian Rhapsody was hilarious.
        Michael Macintyre is funny but not THAT funny

          He's average IMHO, witty but not in the class of say, Peter Kay (Northern) or Jack Dee (Southern). I think it's cos he's slightly annoying, not good for a mainstream standup comic...

          Affability is the key, tho I'd agree some comics can do the annoying/angry/awkward thing with success but not generally in the mainstream...

            Bill Hicks is funny. Neither of these guys rate a mention, unless you're over 70 and already wet yourself...

              We have a lucky punter then, now that the race is clearly over?

                I'd rank him somewhere less funny than AngelOfTheNorth.

                Mind you:

                  Imo Peter Kay has the same act as Mike Harding - Mike Harding was funnier though. He's just a beardy-weirdy folky singer now.
