Adam Hills, Josh Widdicome and Alex Brooker can be added, all from The Last Leg. I think PC has ruined comedy, so no I don't find many of them funny.

//I don't find any of them funny. Most of them make me cringe.
When I see the audiences rolling in the aisle, I think what was so funny.//

My feelings , exactly
From the original list, I quite like both Romesh Ranganathan and James Acaster. Joe Lycett I like in a presenting way, but not enamoured with his stand up.
None of them.

That said, I am fine with the fact that I am not their target audience, so I expect not to be amused.

I like Jimmy Carr, I have a dark sense of humour.
Aisling Bea's stand up is pretty funny, plus she's very easy on the eye.

I also like Jon Richardson.
Its modern irreligiosity to be funny.
The po faced PC leftists insist on it.
"...current batch of hot young comedians..." I only checked on the ages of 3 of them and none of those are young. Ryan is 37, Pascoe is 39 and Romesh is 42. Define 'young'.
You’d need a ‘dark sense of humour’ to like Jimmy Carr.

Remember his crack about gypsies being smelly? Surprised he wasn’t lynched.
ditto Tilly's answer.
Yes Mozz @23:27, I agree, I also like Aisling Bea, I couln't think of her name earlier when I posted.
all of them about as funny as toothache
i confess i don't know all of those on the list, Rob Beckett can be amusing, don;t care for Joe Lysett particularly, and as said some are unknown to me. As for comparing ones from way back, i prefer the likes of Robin Williams, Billy Connolly, Spike Milligan.
I don’t find many of them hilarious but I don’t mind them. I wouldn’t pay to see most of them. Aisling Bea isn’t as funny as she thinks she is.

I like Alan Davies, Dylan Moran, Bill Bailey, MMcIntyre, Sandi Toksvig. Slightly old school.
I could never stand the sexist and racist dinosaurs like Jim ‘I hate women’ Davidson and Bernard Manning.
i missed off Dave allen, always found him funny,
I've never seen anyone rolling in an aisle. I want to go to the same shows as Sharon...

I like them all. It all depends on the show. Some of them are very funny on panel shows but not as funny as stand ups.

I love 8 out of 10 cats does countdown. We tend to watch it on youtube so we just watch the funny bits.
the only one i found that had me rolling in aisle was Ken Dodd, his live shows were wonderful, so long though, i almost broke a rib
You weren't really rolling in the aisle though, were you?
couldn't because we were packed in tight. Full house every night, some feat...
I think all of them are ok but i think they do not have the comedic talent of old comedians like Ken Dodd, Bob Monkhouse, Tommy Cooper etc.. Todays Milton Jones is good with a slightly manic appearance.
