When you consider the arsewipes who get away with calling themselves comedians, it's scandalous that anyone can say Kay is over-rated.

Comedy, like everything else in life, is a matter of taste. I could never see why Barrymore was popular considering his act was 90% Cleese rip-off and 10% insulting people, yet the frontal lobotomy ward (sorry, audiences at London Weekend Television et al) needed rubber undies because they were pissing themselves laughing.

The business of compiling lists (best comedy programmes, best books---best bum) is a waste of time since the only ones people tend to pay attention to are the ones that agree with their choices.

Voted by who?

Surprised. Phoenix Nights is good, and his live act is rated too.

Far more deserving of 'most overated' would be:

Mark & Lard, Patrick Kielty, Johnny Vaughan, Johnny Vegas, Reeves & Mortimer.

Never visited chortle.com, and judging by that poll I don't think I ever will.
