Rufus Hound’s top ten stand-up comedians

We could write a brief paragraph to introduce former ‘Celebrity Juice’ regular Rufus Hound’s top ten comics, but we’ll let him explain his choices instead. ‘The basic problem of working in comedy is that you work with ludicrously funny people all the time,’ Hound told us. ‘Over the last few years, though, I’ve become increasingly intrigued by those performers that I watch but can’t figure out. How are they doing that? How are they being that funny? Why is everyone in the room at near 
aneurysm-bursting point? These people are more like magicians to me than comedians. Comedians do something I understand. These people? I’m guessing it must be some sort of trick.’

What do you think of Hound's choices? Let us know in the comments box below.
