Also some posters seem to be missing the thrust of the thread title. Well done you.

Oh no, I can read, and I can also tell that every comic is doing more than one thing, even if they revisit a particular thing repeatedly. No comic should seeeeeem to have just one joke if you're really paying attention, or respecting what it takes to put together an entire act.

He has a variety of jokes on different topics, even if they're shit.

There will come a time when Ricky Gervais' entire body of work is distilled to mostly "Don't mongs have an underbite!!"

Already I can hardly think of anything else he's done.

She's also Jo "I like to makes jokes about hitting my husband over the head with various blunt instruments because domestic abuse against men is funny" Brand.

Also Jo "I'm Not Funny In The Slightest, How The Fuck Have I Made A Career Out Of This? " Brand.

If there's an 'also' way of summing up their humour, it's not based on just one joke, or type of joke.

Yes, that was my secondary point and the reason why I very purposefully used the word "also"; she doesn't qualify for this thread.
