She started out as one. I've seen her a couple of times on QI and she's been terribly unfunny.

That's my main exposure to British and Irish Comedians by the way.

There’s an Irish/British horror comedy film called Stiches with Ross Noble staring at the titular character.

It’s actually quite funny.
But I guess you could argue that it isn't Noble’s material.

Ross Noble lived in Australia for a time so he was always on shows here as the 'overseas guest'. I just never found him funny and he'd be on every 2nd show you'd watch.

I’ve seen bits of QI episodes he’s in but never really found him that funny either.

How would you compare him to Bill Bailey? You may have seen him on QI. I sort of have these two people combined in my head.

I've seen a bit of Bill Bailey. I think he's more deadpan and effortlessly funny than Ross Noble, who always seems to me to be trying too hard.

Agreed but he's more of a clown than a comedian.

There's a 2000s sitcom with Lee Evans called 'So What Now?'

Spud-gun from Bottom is in it. It's quite fun and saves Lee Evans in my mind.

I’ve watched it.
The outtakes are funnier than the actual show.

Stop slagging of Lee Evans he always gives me a nice wave when I see him out jogging, top fella

I used to love his stand up but I think I was the right age for it to be able to enjoy someone with that much energy

Rosie Jones , let’s stop pretending she’s funny when it takes half hour to deliver a joke, and the actual content is fucking awful even without the disability

^^^this.

I actively avoid programmes where she appears. Kinda dreading her going on Taskmaster eventually as I will have to bin the whole series as a result.
Big changes on the way ! We've heard it before but it's different this time !!!! , I believe Bdo gonna grow x
