This week Express review editor Garry Bushell named Britain's worst comedians - and it was not without controversy. The no-nonsense critic laid into what many regard as the nation's top comedic talent and pulled no punches in his choices.
Garry said: "Have you ever watched a stand-up comedian on TV and wondered what their audience is laughing at? When I was a judge on ITV's The Big Big Talent Show, the producer insisted on having weak, under-developed club comedians on almost every week.
"They inevitably came bottom in the studio audience vote but on TV, by the cynical use of 'borrowed' laughter and audience cut-aways, it looked like the comics were storming it. That's exactly what happens on BBC2's Live At The Apollo too."
Caught in the crossfire were TV comedy quiz show regulars Nish Kumar and Rosie Jones, Little Britain legend David Walliams and TV primetime stars Paddy McGuinness and Miranda Hart. Stand up legend John Bishop also made his list.
So what do you think? Vote below to have your say on the worst comedian on British TV right now or have your say in the comments if you have another name to add.
