ANNUAL Best Stand Up Comedian competition - 2012 NOMINATIONS

[Billy the Fish]

Lee Mack, Jon Richardson and Michael McIntyre should probably be on the shortlist.

Why are people nominating DEAD comedians though. Is this best of 2012 or best EVER?

 

[Lewes' best seagull]

Dylan Moran?! Can't believe he's been overlooked.

Seconded.

I'll also nominate Bill Bailey.

[Brian Fantana]

Bill Bailey seconded.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Jackie Mason
Stewart Lee
George Carlin
Richard Pryor
Steven Wright

 

[Man of Harveys]

Can't believe no-one's seconding Robin Williams. Yes, he's done a lot of dreadful, cheesy films, there's no denying that (and some quite good ones). But on his day there's no-one to touch him.
