Comedy Whores?

Any thoughts on who the biggest comedy whores are? By which I mean comedians who really will do any old tat for the money. David Mitchell is the obvious candidate, but Marcus Brigstock seems to pop up an awful lot. Considering he cultivates such a dispeptic, grumpy persona on The Now Show, he nonetheless likes to appear in any old shit (News Knight, that atrocious Anne Robinson comedy, kids shows, etc).

Jimmy Carr is always whoring himself out to corporate gigs - well according to Viz anyway

Peter Kay has kind of milked his routine and anything comedy for all it's worth... and now wants to be a "serious" actor

Edited.
I was being thick & did not read the\question properly. :S

Definitely David Mitchell.

As much as I like him, I'll agree David Mitchell.

He is a bit of a whore. But he is never crap on anything. Ever.
And we don't know what he's turned down!

Rob Brydon is an ad whore. I don't think he turns anything down.

david mitchell... isnt the only thing he's done is the MAC advertisment campaign... what else has he done?

He voices some kind of cold sore cream or something.

But I think they're mainly talking about TV panel shows etc, rather than just ads.

Off the top of my head, and excluding the advertising voice-overs he's done, in the last 12 months David has also been in... That Mitchell and Webb Look, That Mitchell and Webb Sound, Peep Show, Blunder, Magicians, Daydream Believers, Jam and Jerusalem, Confetti, QI, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Would I Lie to You?, Best of the Worst, Mock the Week, The Playground Laws and Annually Retentive.

... And that's just what I remember! He's been a guest on other radio and tv shows I'm sure. You need to watch more TV Paul!

But is it a bad thing that he's using his talent in as many different ways as he can?
I guess the danger is that he'll do a Vorderman and be hated by everyone, for no rational reason other than we see too much of him

Oh we're counting Panel shows...

And Mark I waste a lot of my life infront of the TV... but If I must watch more so be it!

Taking about corporate presentations I saw a magazine for Incentive companies (that's the one that makes everything double the price because we have to pay their salaries for their smart-arse ideas)and at their presentation do was Lee Hurst. I wondered what he'd been up to lately.

Did anyone else have to Google him, or was it just me?

Can I be a comedy whore?
Go on. Just say yes & make a girl happy.
