Which comedian? (Lighthearted!)

the man from bake off in a bright shirt.

I`m another suggesting Michael Palin, I think he`d be a calming influence in a restless world.

Yikes that should have been
''

The big yin fer me

Kevin Bridges.
Fry is far too smug.
Bishop lays the accent on far too much.
Toksvig and the others...nothing to recommend them.
As for that dork on Pointless...Richard Osman...not in 1m years.
I'm agitating for that programme to be axed too.

Eddie Izzard

Definitely Billy Connolly, hilarious and straight talking!

Yes to Richard Osman!

I agree Greyduster & KatyK I used to like Stephen Fry but now he is so full of himself he is not so amusing.. Having said that I haven't seen much of him on TV lately.
John Bishop is an interesting choice.

Al Murray would get my vote.
Or Richard Osman

I agree re Stephen Fry. I can't stand him. Full of his own importance (in my opinion).

Well Cavewoman, in a very lighthearted way, I have to say, really don’t get Mrs Brown! Hey, it’s probably just me, not wishing to offend any Mrs Brown fans!!!

Al Murray? Good suggestion. He's funny and clever.

John Bishop - he's witty and compassionate.

Definitely Al Murray for me. He did in fact stand in the 2015 elections and his party was called Free United Kingdom party (FUKP). The manifesto was written on the back of a cigarette packet. Heard him on the radio yesterday and he's actually Oxford educated and is quite intelligent. (Not that the two necessarily go together!) ?

Isn’t Billy quite poorly at the moment? I like Ricky too.

Also what about a coalition of the pair who wrote Gavin and Stacey?? James corden and Ruth Jones??

I think Nessa and Smithy would do a cracking job.

[Grin] Greyduster A rude thought popped into my head at your phraseology there, but I will leave it firmly in my head

Anybody but please God, not Stephen Fry! He is so far up his own backside, he’s coming out of his ear!

He is Grammaretto. Pamela is a psychologist.

Ricky Gervais

Billy Connolly plus his psychiatrist wife Pamela. In fact they could be the new royal family after independence, paddie although does he live in Britain? He may be another tax exile like Sean Connery.

Peter Kay for me.

or for the younger generation Kevin Bridges ,he's down with the kids...lol

Billy Connelly he'd have us all out in all weathers remember his "theres no bad weather just the wrong clothes" thats'd solve obesity crisi etc and he'd tell it how it is .I say this despite Billy being a unionist ...at least as a comedian he'd be funny unlike the current comedians in power.

PS I used to go to the same Glasgow parties as he did .

Oh yes- Romesh Ranganathan and his Mum! We'd be fine. Everything would get done and we'd have a laugh.
I absolutely cannot fathom how anyone could find 'Mrs Brown' remotely funny.
All down to personal preference of course. Humour is so subjective.
