I'll start by commenting on your list:
Jimmy Tarbuck - His act seemed out of date even when he started performing
Lenny Henry - An outstanding talent, with excellent stand-up comedy, in his early days. But he can't act (as anyone who has listened to 'Rudy's Rare Records' on the radio will testify) and he seems to have lost the plot when it comes to stand-up.
Frankie Boyle - Occasionally funny when a guest on QI but he has limited material and he fails to realise that an essential element of comedy is to surprise his audience. There's no surprise if you use a 4-letter word in every sentence, or if your material is otherwise totally predictable.
Lee Mack - Some of his stand-up routine is amusing but he definitely can't act!
Jo Brand - I quite like JB but her material doesn't seem to have evolved much over the years.
Sue Pollard - I don't think I've ever seen her do stand up. She was excellently cast in Hi-de-Hi but has looked out of place in other programmes.
Miranda Hart - Her stand-up routine is just about bearable but, again, she can't act.
My least funny comedians:
Vic Reeves, Bob Mortimer and Johnny Bloody Vegas!!!

I don't watch much comedy I have to say. I find the "siller" especially facepulling ones irritating like Lee Evans, Harry Hill (though he has grown on me a little lately) and Jim Carrey in certain roles (even though I see him as a very clever actor in other things).
I loved Jasper Carrot, Billy Connolly and Ben Elton when he used to do standup. Went to see Lee Hirst too on a random free ticket and he was hysterical.
I find it interesting at some of the local comedy clubs round here that the comperes are often the cleverest and funniest comedians there including on warm up gigs for people like John Bishop and Justin Moorhouse.
Roy Chubby Brown makes my skin crawl, anyone with that kind of humour.
