Nick Helm has been suggested elsewhere - he was actually on my list but then i realised I'd picked eleven names so he got bumped - I guess he's number one on the sub's bench.

James Acaster surely. Jack Dee would definitely be a strong contender. Nish Kumar? Ria Lina?

Love most of your choices but Gary Delaney wouldn't last 5 mins, he can't help laughing at his own upcoming punchlines halfway through his own jokes tbf. 🤣🤣

And i presume Sarah Millican laughs at his jokes or they wouldn't be married. So that's two down, eight left!
