I know I can be very critical of modern so called comedians. So many of them are just generally snide, mistake this for humour and walk around with permanent sneers affecting superiority. Many of them show up on the likes of "Have I Got News for You" where Ian Hislop and, even more so, Paul Hislop, are particularly bad. As far as I am concerned neither has ever done anything much for society but feel they are heaven sent to sneer and criticise those who are trying to do something.
But one modern comic for whom I have a lot of respect is Miranda Hart. I am particularly impressed with her versatility, noticeble in the role ahe took on in The MidWives.
