The best man won

Channel 4. Sunday. Another Pointless List Show.

This one was the 100 Greatest Stand-ups. The list in full is here, and the top ten was as follows:

1. Billy Connolly
2. Peter Kay
3. Eddie Izzard
4. Richard Pryor
5. Harry Hill
6. Bill Hicks
7. Bill Bailey
8. Victoria Wood
9. Chris Rock
10. Ross Noble


The peculiar love of the British public for Peter Kay flummoxes me somewhat, but as least taste and decency triumphed with the anointing of Saint Billy of ComedyBeards.

Amen, sister. And re Kay - colour me flummoxed, too.
