On Mock The Week, more often hit than miss. Certainly preferable to that irritating Andy Parsons... How the hell did he ever get on there?
On Russell Howard's Good News, just miss. Painful miss. Did you ever see Russell Brand's Ponderland? That's how it should be done, imo. It was predominantly weird archive footage, and Brand offering humorous commentary, but the whole thing worked really well.
During stand-up, miss again. Pulling a stupid face and yelling in an exaggerated Bristolian accent isn't enough to carry a whole performance.
I think a lot of girls fancy him and he's young and a bit dorky which appeals to easily amused and impressionable teenagers.
I almost made this thread about Andy Parsons, but I decided to spare him because he made me laugh for the first time on Mock the Week last week. It was a night to remember, that's for sure. Either he's finally getting above cringe level or I've just cracked after facing years of him battering me :P
Dara is absolutely fantastic. He's probably my favourite comedian at the moment. I love his stand-up and he's great on Mock the Week, and I really like the science and maths programmes he does on the BBC and Dave.
I've always felt that Frankie Boyle is what Russell Howard is always trying to be. They have the same sort of jokes (I swear I've heard both of them make the exact same joke about the Queen's vagina before), but Frankie is much cleverer and his delivery is spot on, and he's better at having banter with the rest of panel. It's been a long time since I saw any of his stand-up though.
Is it normal that Russell Howard is considered a comedian...

I have always found him hit and miss.

Sometimes his jokes are actually good! It's his delivery that's awful!
Frankie Boyle was the real reason to watch MTW for me. And I like Dara.
