We’re never short of a joke in Sheffield – or anywhere else in South Yorkshire.
Over the years, the city has been home to some of the most hilarious comedians the world has ever seen, and if you look into the wider South Yorkshire area, the comedy heritage spills out into Rotherham, Barnsley and Doncaster too.
Now we are asking: Who is the funniest comedian to come from Sheffield and South Yorkshire?

While we all know about Michael Palin, whose work with Monty Python made him globally famous, and the Chuckle Brothers, who had generations of children rolling around laughing through Chucklevision. But there are many others born here, brought up here, or with other close links the the city, and we also have a great tradition of comedy clubs.
We’ve put together a gallery of 12 possible nominations who are among most famous comedians linked to Sheffield and South Yorkshire.
But you can vote in our poll for anyone you like.
We shall leave voting open for a week, to give people plenty of time to make their choice.
