No he's not.
I'd hate to do stand-up - it's a real art. I'm OK with wit, sarcasm, wordplay etc but stand-up is totally different. If your delivery is wrong - if you stumble over a word, even - the effect is lost. It's one of the things that Jimmy Carr is so good at - everything is just perfect and polished, as well as being very funny indeed.

Agree. I used to regularly go to a comedy club in London where every week they’d have an open mic night and some people were horrifically Unfunny, I respected their bravery but there really is a funny gene and if you don’t have it you don’t have it
I love the wit of Lee Mack. Possibly one of the funniest people on TV. So sharp.

You can have it and still fail at stand-up. You have to have the voice, the look, the temperament, the delivery. Some very funny people have none of these.
I know he's got himself into a lot of trouble recently, but Louie CK's stand up specials are brilliant. Chappelle's recent Netflix shows are in a different planet to a lot of the other stuff out there at the moment. I liked Bill Burr's earlier stuff too, he's still funny, generally, though, you can spend a lot of time binging his appearances on Conan.
In the UK and Ireland, I've always been a fan of Tommy Tiernan, Gervais' foray into stand up produced a series of classic specials too, Animals, Politics, Fame and Science, I might watch Politics again tonight actually, it's been a while.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem with Lee Mack is that he suffers from Paul Merton syndrome
He says something that gets a laugh and then spends the next five minutes milking it to death
The most recent Chappelle stand up is genuinely brilliant - I recommend it heartily
Never been a fan of Ricky Gervais as a stand up - his TV shows and podcasts are generally brilliant though.
Cant really give you 'GOATs' because there are just too many, but some of the ones I like at the moment:
Rhod Gilbert
Dara O'Brien
Jason Manford
John Bishop
Kevin Bridges
Paul Choudhry
Romesh
Trevor Noah
Loyiso Gola
I generally dont find American stand ups funny at all. Different type of humour I suppose.

I love his storytelling. They’re so bizarre but bloody hilarious.
Dylan Moran is a good for similar reasons.
