Comedy hard men?

Is it just me, or are all comedians and comedy actors soft as jelly? You get the feeling that if any of them got into a fight with a girl, the girl would win. Are there any comedians you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley? Off the top of my head I can only really think of Keith Allen, who's always struck me as a bit of a nutter.

I reckon Alexie Sayle could hand out a good beating in his day.

You wouldn't want to meet SlagB in a dark alley. That's why we use pseudonyms. What about Les Dennis and Bob Mortimer?

lee evans used to be a ametuer boxer (the sport where they pumel the shite out of each other for half an hour then hug and kiss at the end, i've been in a few pub brawls where shite has been pumelled but when i went in for a hug my shite got well and truly pumeled) oh where was i?, errrr, i'm gonna go to a club and pick a fight with a stand-up, then i'll get back to you.......

They always say they that's why became comedians - to make people laugh instead of having fight. But I think Jo Brand and Jenny Eclair are quite scary - although I wouldn't want to find out with JB - but maybe JE....

I reckon Hyacinth Bucket. That handbag is lethal...Her mouth is even more dangerous.

Yeah noone from comedy is hard! Denis Leary is probably a crazy wirey fighter who bites!! Paddy from Phoenix Knights might be hard but i'm sure as he'd be laying into someone he'd be saying 'and a ding dang doo'.

Ricky Grover - he's mean.

I tell you who makes me shit my pants.
That Dr cox from Scrubs.
He is a big boy.
I dont know why, but i have a thing for big boy's. Might be coz my mummy told me to be careful around them.
I think it was something like big boy's make you squeeeeeeeal.

Did. NOT. Need to know this.

Comedy hard men? I reckon Sid James would have been able to put up a pretty decent fight. (The stories of him having been a boxer in South Africa are bollocks.)

There was a guy in the 2nd series (I think) of Black Books who played a ganster's nephew called Danny. By a guy called Big Dave I think. According to Dylan Moran he's a hilarious stand-up, but he could definintely do some damage if you crossed him on a dark night!

I think that was Ricky Grover

I can't believe I didn't think of him. Joe Rogan, American presenter and stand-up comedian. He's a Black Belt in Tae-Kwon-Do and has some serious Jiu-Jitsu skills too. He's also commentator for the UFC.
