The UK's 50 Most Popular Comedians!

1) Ricky Gervais
He's written and performed sell-out shows, but it was his work in front of Hollywood at this year's Golden Globes that really grabbed the public's attention: "I Love You Phillip Morris: Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor - two heterosexual actors pretending to be gay. So the complete opposite of some famous scientologists, then."

2) Michael McIntyre
"Old people still insist on picking up the phone and saying their home number. Why are you doing that? What a waste of time. '0207 667944.' 'I know that, I just dialled it. The last thing I did on Earth was dial those numbers.'"

4) Eddie Izzard
"There must have been a Death Star canteen. A place where, in between battles, Darth Vader could chill out. 'I will have the penne alla arabiatte.' 'You'll need a tray.' 'I'm Darth Vader. I can kill you with a single thought.' 'Well, you'll still need a tray.' 'No, I do not need a tray to kill you.'

6) Jimmy Carr
Heckle quick-witted Jimmy Carr at your peril. And certainly don't suggest his mum wants to sleep with you: "Your mum warned me you were going to be here. At least I think she was talking to me - I wasn't the only one there. And she had her mouth full."

7) Russell Howard
"Do you reckon the Queen Of England has ever pulled her bed covers up so that just her head is showing? 'Philip, look at me! I'm a stamp.'"

8) Peter Kay
Us talking about biscuits: boring. A fat Boltonian talking about biscuits: hilarious. "Rich tea biscuits are bad for dipping. They don't even try. They should be called f**king 'One Dips'."

9) Richard Herring
How to put down a heckler: as a pissed onlooker is escorted out for reacting unfavourably to a gag about stabbing, he shouts, "I got f**king mugged, right?" Herring's response: "What a shame he didn't do a bit of a better job."

10) Billy Connolly
"A terrible thing happens to men after we turn 50. Your doctor loses all interest in your testicles and takes an overwhelming interest in your arsehole. You begin to forget what he looks like."
