Quite simply one of the top stand up comics, male or female, that the UK has ever produced. Victoria Wood, Billy Connolly and Ken Dodd are the guv'nors.

The Grande Dame of Female Comedy. Period. Currently underrated, due, I suspect, to an apparent lack of product over the past five years save the re-hash of Acorn Antiques as a musical. Watch Dinnerladies (over and over again) for the best comic writing in terms of smart one-liners and nifties in history. Bury Council ought to commission a statue of her for the most prominent place in its town centre.

Not my favourite but I do quite like her. She's certainly done a lot for female comedians. Went to a show of hers a few years back and there was everyone in the audience from children to pensioners. Think her materials now going a bit too far down the menopause/middle age/mumsy road now though.

Good on Acorn Antiques bad on everything else
