Thread: Stand-up comedians

  1. #1

    Default Stand-up comedians

    Who is your favourite stand-up comedian?

    Jack Dee and Billy Connolly are mine. I'm not sure if they are known much outside the UK. British humour is the best. I dont know what it is about American stand-up that iritates me, but it does. I think they play to the crowd too much and are forceful, whereas british comedians are a bit more subtle and sarcastic, which I like.

    Jack Dee's alright sometimes. Bill Bailey and Billy Connelly are amazing always. Umm...screw it: they all rock.

    Jack Dee, Bill Bailey and Ed Byrne are the three that spring to mind, but there are plenty of other brilliant stand-ups that I seem to have forgotten for the moment.

    Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.

    Billy Connolly hurts my stomach

    And I like Bill Bailey too.

    I was quite keen on Peter Kay until it all became quoted to death. Still makes me laugh though. Bill Bailey's stand-up is awesome. Jimmy Carr isn't too bad either.

    Mitch Hedberg, George Carlin, and Gilbert Gottfried are my favorites. Lewis Black is good too, and I like Dane Cook's CDs, but I hear he sucks live.

    Oh yeah, Steven Lynch ftw.

    I liked Eddie Murphy and Robin Williams when they where young. the best one I saw though was Bill Cosby in a 1980 concert.
