Who's you're favorite comedian ?

[KingKev]

Hicks, Cook, Barker - all much missed geniuses. Chris Morris is as close as we have to that status now.

Best of the rest - Skinner, Boyle, Lee.

 

[Comedy Steve]

His warm up act, Damian Clark? (i think was also excellent but also pretty much unheard of,)

Yep, Aussie, very good. At Komedia December 9th.

 

[tedlit]

Live.. Stewart Lee, Jim Jefferies, Reginald D Hunter, Jimeoin
Got to give Al Murray (ten years ago) some credit, as well as Hugh Dennis.. even though NO ONE agrees with the latter.

 

[The Birdman]

Sir Norman Wisdom Brighton fan sung Sussex by the sea in the centre circle.

 

[Jerryatric]

If dead people are allowed: Lenny Henry.

 

[Frutos]

I can't really narrow it down to one, but this list should give you some idea: Ronnie Barker, Billy Connolly, Dara O Briain, Ed Byrne, Simon Evans, Victoria Wood, Stewart Francis, George Carlin, Rowan Atkinson

 

[tinx]

Micky Flannagan
Stewart Francis
Lee Evans

Those three are the ones I have seen live who made me laugh the most.

 

[We're the Stripes]

<< Steven Wright. Sometimes thought-provoking, often nonsensical, always brilliant.

 

[Mr Burns]

Ashley Barnes

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Ashley Barnes

Ba dum, tish!

 

[The Large One]

Yep, Aussie, very good. At Komedia December 9th.

Who, among comedy acts you know, would you say is the Comedians' Comedian?

Just curious, like.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Changes all the time but CURRENTLY Mickey Flanagan

 

[The Merry Prankster]

Stewart Lee, Bill Hicks, George Carlin.

But my top chucklbunny at the moment is Doug Stanhope.

Jimeoin - honourable mention.

 

[User removed 4]

Jim Davidson, head and shoulders above the rest.

 

[Nibble]

Honourable mention to the late Mitch Hedburg. Oh and Neil Hamburger. Some people loathe him but if you get it and you like what you get he is a an absolute joy. I also like the guy who plays the northern chap who plays the shit electric organ and tells stories but I can never, ever remember his name.

Peter Kay used to be genuinely hilarious, esp in Phoenix Nights. That was before he started wearing a dress and doing comedy relief bollocks.

Ah that's Stewart Francis. I cannot abide him. He looks so uncomfortable yet strangely self satisfied.

 

[We're the Stripes]

Ah that's Stewart Francis. I cannot abide him. He looks so uncomfortable yet strangely self satisfied.

Agreed, I find his delivery makes him really difficult to watch. Like an awfully cheesy, smug version of Steven Wright - with the material a little more based on wordplay.

The late Mitch Hedberg, on the other hand.

 

[LennyD]

Richard Pryor for me
