You just did AND it's not on topic, GET OOOOUT!

I went to see Bill Bailey at the Guilgud Theatre in London just before christmas.

Absolutely superb.

I'm just waiting for Frankie Boyle to release his next tour dates.

I forgot him! He was here a few weeks ago and I missed him His live DVD is ace, seen it twice and the jokes just seem funnier the more I watch

He is certainly my favourite.

I also think Dennis Leary is great to if you like very aggressive ranting style comedy (much like Bill Hicks). Leary's 'No Cure For Cancer' show was fantastic.
