Just wondering what cafe goers thought of these comedians/ character actors?
Who's the best of this bunch?

Steve Coogan just pipped Peter Kay for me. Ricky Gervais not on my list

Much as I'm a fan of Alan Partridge, he does seem to be basically Steve Coogan turned up to 11 with the social awareness filter turned off.
Which is largely the same act that Ricky Gervais does. I'm not saying that they're not funny (at times hilarious), but that's how I find them and at times it grates.
Peter Kay, for all his faults, has a love of his craft that shows through in his work.

When you write 'best', 'best' at what? One of them is an Oscar-nominated actor and the other two aren't. If you mean in talent, then Coogan is in a different league. Coogan has also developed many more characters than the other two, some you'll like, some you won't but it definitely shows he's more versatile and not always mining the same hole.

I've seen more of Steve Coogan than Peter Kay, but mildly like them both.
I've seen FAR TOO MUCH of Ricky Gervais and despise him with a passion.

I would watch Coogan and Kay live, but not Gervais. I wouldn't even want to see him alive.

I like all three of them and they have all created classic TV shows.
The Office is one of my all time favourites, Phoenix Night was excellent as is all the Alan Patridge incarnations.
Getvais' standup shows were pretty poor and I'm not a big fan of Kay's stand up shows either.

You probably wouldn't. Kay is rude and completely up himself. He was very rude to a lady I know well when she was checking him in on a flight, for no reason that she could see. He was very rude to another friend who is the landlord of a pub that Peter Kay went to, had the barmaid in tears with his comments.
