Re: Stand up comedians
 

My Fav comics are Mark Thomas, Bill Maher, Frankie Boyle, George Carlin, Lenny Bruce , i could go on theres a long list mostly comics with an political edge to there routine, Saw loads few yrs back when i lived in london practically lived in the comedy store, But if i had to choose one for my desert island it would have to be Bill Hicks :notworthy: .

Jas...

Re: Stand up comedians
 

Him as well! :lol:

I also forgot to say Dave Allen and Omid Djalili. These two are about the only ones that have brought me to tears and not being able to breathe.

Rich Hall is the texan comedian and Rhod Gilbert is the shouty welsh bloke. Thanks Wikipedia :)

Re: Stand up comedians
 

Peter kay basically has just one joke, which he repeats with a different subject,

Gervais , w*nk, without stephen merchant hed just be annoying, his improv is a joke,

best stand ups ive seen recently

Rhod Gilbert,
Jason Cook, watch for him hes gonna be huge,
Dan Nightingale, another one to watch,

Jimmy carr was excellent live and far less tw*tish than he appears on tv
ross noble, superb if youre in the mood,
Dylan Moran, probably the best storyteller around at the moment
Gary Delany , the best one liners in the country, jimmy carr could be this good if he worked harder,

and best overall laugh a minute ive ever seen.......................Ivan Brackenbury..........

Ah, he compered the tartan ribbon the year before last, absolutely fantastic. Takes a basically crap joke and runs with it til it becomes genius.

If you like Dylan Moran's storytelling style, ever seen Tommy Tiernan? He can be great when he wants to.

Thats the guy, thought he was amazing, decided to just get plastered while taking the pis out of all the women and out of cancer treatments...
E.g

I dont see women as sex objects, i see them as life support machines for v@gina's.

Chemotherapy, the worlds cheapest cure for dandruff...

Quite harsh lines like that, seemed to appeal to the Scots audience..

Re: Stand up comedians
 

Lee Evans
Al Murry
are the main ones, but there are many more I enjoy watching. Most are at least watchable...

Some great old ones, dead ones... was watching top 100 comedians and there were so many funny people (men, why is that?).

Not seen any :(

Except I dont like Russel Brand. He just isnt funny. Just weird tbh... :confused:
