- Alan Carr -
- Jonathan Ross -
- David Mitchell -
- Armando Ianucci -
- John Cleese -
- Simon Pegg -

While it is a tad surprising that some ingenious comedians who use Twitter brilliantly don't appear (eg, , , Holly Walsh, and ), it seems we always see the same names in a different order when it comes to these lists.
We want to know about the hidden gems that never feature in lists like these.
Who are the funniest people on Twitter?
Post your recommendations below and we'll #FF as many as we can on Friday.

Peter Serafinowicz, Rufus Hound and David Schneider all appear on the list - if you look below the top 12 - the URL for this is here:
Steve Martin does score very highly ( see ) but we reckonned he was not a Brit. Was that a mistake?
As for Holly Walsh - she didn't make our original list of 258, apologies to her, I've queued her up for calculation.
Think of anyone else, send them along to us and we'll do our best to index them.
thanks
Azeem

I've just recently started following Nick Frost (@nickjfrost). He's been quite amusing, I enjoyed his latest Creme Egg rant.
Peter Serafinowicz is by far the most superior comedian I follow.
It helps a lot when the comedians interact with their followers.

Also @IanMartin (on 'the list' lower down), when he pops up, is a laugh. (Especially when he gets into the occoasional vivid, surreal swear-off with @thefagcasanova.)(Their best was made into a youtube video with text-speach. Really brilliant.)
