Funny as Cancer

...but Leos don't make us laugh

More comedians are born under the sign of Cancer than any other.

But Leos, born just a month earlier, are the least funny of all the astrological signs.

A survey of more than 300 of Britain’s comic actors and performers found that just six per cent were born between July 24 and August 23.

In contrast, 11 per cent were Cancerians - including Ricky Gervais, Jennifer Saunders, Peter Kay, Richard Wilson and Meera Syal.

Leos can only boast Joe Pasquale, Brian Conley and David Walliams.

The second funniest sign was Virgo, according to the study by the UKTV Gold channel, including Stephen Fry and Keith Allen. The second least-funny sign was Capricorn, which boasts Rowan Atkinson and Caroline Aherne.

Astrologer Russell Grant said: ‘Leos are the natural showmen and entertainers of the zodiac so this result is a surprise, but maybe they are stronger at scripted gags.

‘The finding that Cancerians are the funniest doesn't surprise me because Jupiter, the planet of joy and happiness, is so at home there. Cancer is the sign of the stomach - so it's appropriate to be the sign of the belly laugh too.’

The final list was: 1) Cancer; 2) Virgo; 3) Taurus; 4) Aquarius; 5) Libra; 6) Gemini; 7) Aries; 8) Pisces; 9) Scorpio; 10) Sagittarius; 11) Capricorn; 12) Leo

Mom: Well, we could join together in prayer.
Son: Uh huh. Is there anything useful we can do?
Mom: No.

Ok Done a quick search as to how funny people are.

there are people way funnier than wil.
tripod are funnier than wil.
Hammo is funnier than wil.
midget is funnier than wil but hammo is funnier than the midget.
wil is funnier than tim ferguson
wil is allegedly funnier than ross noble (i claim that wil is obviously adopted)
ross noble is funnier than dylan moran.

damn allegedly kitson is funnier than all these people but he sucks so i disqualify his star sign on that basis.

and i don't know the date but i'm assuming that adam hills is funnier than the lot of them

Maybe it works the other way in australia... like when it's winter in the northern hemisphere, it's summer in the southern... maybe when leo's are unfunny in the northern hemisphere, they're utterly hilarious to southern hemisphere folk.

Of course, the whole study is bullshit since starsigns are not scientifically proven to have anything to do with demeanor or other personality traits...
