Is that a nomination for Les Dawson?

Why not Cjay? Better than a lot of the nominations in my opinion but not in my top 5

Is Paul Whitehouse classed as a stand up??

No i would say he is a comedy character actor.

I can't find any record of him having done any sort of stand up solo stuff

Thanks to all who nominated.

Amazing response

All candidates will have clips accompanying them on polls so hopefully many laughs to be had!!!!

16 rounds of 5 candidates will be the first set of rounds with 1 from each round going through.

Rounds will be decided at random by this website
https://wheeldecide.com/

All rounds will be 2 days long.

Should a round end in a draw a shorter 1 day poll will be used to decide a winner.

Should this round fail to decide a winner then
https://wheeldecide.com/ will be used as a final decider in a best of 3 spin off.

Rounds 1,2 and 3will start tomorrow and the next 3 rounds will commence the day the previous rounds finish and so on in order to not block up the forum.

Blimey a lot of work CJ !

Although I notice Ricky Gervais is in twice, could replace him with his partner in crime Stephen Merchant, who according to wiki has done stand up.

Tim Vine is a glaring oversight tbf...

Ah is he ?

Thanks.

I will bend the rules and you nominated Stephen Merchant.

That way I can keep the nice easy number

Indeed a lot of work, thats why I only do these type of polls occasionally

But they are fun and seem to create activity on the forum so I don't mind

This above is where we stand at the moment with polls 7,8 and 9 still active.

A few nominees were removed and replaced because after investigation I couldn't find a stand up comic background (mainly character based stuff).

Not many, only a few, 1-3 from what I remember, can only remember one name atm.

The polls that went to draws will be done with the tied nominees as 1 day polls when the other rounds are over.

Hopefully won't be many, only 1 so far.

Thanks for all who are taking part.

Make it worthwhile

Be warned

Wheel Decider has not been kind.

An American legend of comedy takes on a Lancashire icon with a famous gurn.

And 2 British comedy giants meet as a Scottish legend meets the Pride of Bolton
