Re: Top 5 Comedians

Peter Kay isn't funny.

Bernard Manning is a racist/bigot/homophobe/sexist/**** etc

Re: Top 5 Comedians

Re: Top 5 Comedians

I didn't see 'kill' anywhere in his post. This is hardly the best defence of a comic I have ever seen. As a rule, those who advocate mass murder aren't funny.*
