"....Butlin's Redcoat/local radio DJ air about him,..."

That migth be it, but also he sort of makes jokes about "the troubles" but in a soft way...maybe he doesn't want to get kneecapped.

I think there was some sort of incident with his dad... :/

So, to be fair, he's quite brave to mention the troubles at all.

Jimmy Carr also does not annoy me.

You must have a very high pain threshold.

There's no need for personal insults, robert.

Um, don't think that was a personal insult. Just a prediction, a value-judgement and a threat of self-disfigurement. Nothing personal.

I have no idea what that means.

I just take issue with anyone questioning the comedy genius of Stewart Lee whilst you all talk about the scenery in The Vicar Of Dibley.

So a quick round-up. BCG members hate the following comedians:

Rob Rouse
Kevin Bishop
Jeremy Hardy
Jim Davidson
Stewart Lee
Tim Minchin
Ed Byrne
Phil Jupitus
David "F**king" Walliams
Michael McIntyre
Victoria Wood
Russell Howard
Jack Whitehall
Shappi Khorsandi
Jason Maford
Patrick Kielty
Catherine Tate
Frank Skinner
Lee Mack
Lenny Henry
Stewart Lee
Peter Kay
Richard Blackwood
Graham Norton
A Nigerian Woman
Ricky Gervais
Russell Brand
John Bishop
"That absolute cretin Andy Parsons"
Jimmy Carr
Chris Addison
Ross Noble
Justin Lee Collins
Alan Carr
Billy Connolly
Eddie Izzard
Bill Bailey

I'm guessing the thread will die soon - there aren't many comedians left to hate!

I was just going to let it go, but since you want to carry on... there are plenty of people here who like Stewart Lee, but no matter whether or not you disagree with a poster on who is and isn't funny, it does not make it okay to make it personal. Which you did.
So cease and desist. Thank you.

And please use proper grammar/capital letters/etc while we're at it.

That list only mentions Stewart Lee twice.
Shouldn't there be a little bit more repetition?

Am gutted not too have featured on that list, this level of indifference is clearly what's holding me back, if only I can get a few "haters" then my career would take off.

'Hate' is a strong word, but I nominate the (IMHO) over-rated Noel Fielding be added to that list.
