Ireland's least funny comedian is Jason fucking Byrne

Does Al Porter qualify?

Incredible how Mario Rosenstock hasn’t got a mention yet.

Maybe it’s because people have forgotten that he is actually a comedian, theoretically at least.

Oliver Callan’s greatest achievement is to make Mario Rosenstock comparatively funny

He’s also a repugnant cunt.

I went to see him in Kilkenny a couple of years back. Thought I’d never get out of the fucking place

So basically we haven’t produced a decent comedian since Dermot Morgan?

Dermot Morgan was a genius, be hard-pressed to match him.

But there are a handful of good ones.

Good ones

Dylan Moran
Jason Byrne (live only)
Dara O Briain
Tommy Tiernan about 50% of the time
Barry Murphy

Bad ones
Karl Spain
Delamere
Colin Murphy
O kane
Kevin Gildea (one of the worst sets i’ve ever seen in Gibneys one night)
Ed Byrne

Also, I think whether we like it or not, the whole world is pissing themselves laughing at Brendan O Carroll so he’s got to go down as a funny cunt.

I’ve met him a few times and find him really hard to talk to. He’s always ā€˜on’ trying out material. It’s quite offputting.

You should give him a job, I’d say he could do with it.

Pat Shortt is very funny.

It’s mainly auld people that like his shite, so the pissing mightn’t be related to the laughing.

I saw Morgan doing stand up and he was fucking awful. Came across as an arrogant cunt. Got cross because people weren’t laughing.

Would agree with all the bad ones there.
Never heard Gildea say anything remotely humorous.
Deirdre O’Kane is just don’t get at all.

Anything from BBC Northern Ireland comedy wise is always atrocious.

Saw him MC a comedy show in Dolan’s once years ago and he was very funny although I’ve only really heard him on the radio a couple of times since and he was not so funny.

Jimeoin. Odd nordie cunt that was making a name for himself in oz back in the day. Most irish comedians are shite. I don’t find tiernan one bit funny for some reason.
