I enjoy these, guessing who the top ten are going to be, guessing who the top 3 are going to be etc etc.

Tyvm to JungleCat, the so and so with the #1 spolier. 

apologies for being spolier than thou...

It is fun guessing who'll be at the top. To be fair I left 99 places for you to have a pop at.

If you learnt to 20 table stts AND watch tv you'd avoid these problems!

Ross Noble seems to be controversial. I think his act is very unique and personally he cracks me up with the bizarre world he creates.

Did Steve Martin make the Top Ten? he was great back in the day

At the risk of incurring a full on tank attack, he was in the top 30 somewhere i think.

Ricky Gervais not funny?? BOOOOOOOOOOOOO HISSSSSSSSSSS (pantomime response beats informed debate anyday)

Not sure Jamie Foxx was anywhere to be seen in the top 100. He's pretty funny too.

Shows how subjective comedy is, but I don't find Lee Evans remotely funny.  Irritating and annoying, yes - funny, no.

Glad to see my favourite Mark Thomas made the list.

there is a good reason that you dont find lee evans funny.

its the same reason that people dont find VD funny.

It isnt.

But combine the two and all of a sudden it gets a giggle.

A little harsh - some of his songs were funny.

yeah he is good..is he sold out yet? I'm only catching Rich Hall this year but wished I had gotten more tickets..ah well can always go to Edinburgh for a night out to catch some comedy.

Have to say like most of these "phone in" top 100's the results reflect the intellect of the people that actually pay to phone in! The show was very entertaining and it was good that they showed the Big Yin before he found respectability and a live physco analyst. Eddie Izzard, Ricky Gervais and Jo Brand in the same 100 as Pryor, Williams and Chubby? Sorry - no way Pedro!

Jim Davdson did come across as sad and bitter, but then again after four divorces who wouldn't - in fairness it was only because he was so succesful did he have the cash to pay!

Next week, top 100 stars of Emmerdale - start dialling now!
