He wasn't any funnier than Lenny Henry...

But I'm thinking of people like Gina Yashere, Felix Dexter and Curtis Walker. Plus some very funny bloke whose name I don't know... !sad!

There's also Reginald D Hunter, who's from Washington DC but now lives in London. He's VERY funny and officially he's now one of ours. !happy!
