[SmashedHombre]

[jdmufc]

jasper carrott for me

i used to have some of his stuff on LP but i was kinda hoping for summat a bit more modern.....cheers anyway

 

[SmashedHombre]

Pfft you cant beat jasper carrott. jack dee is good and dylan moran and bill bailey both do brilliant stand up. Plus I imagine all our irish posters to be exactly like dylan moran, especially keane16.

Bill Bailey


Bill on the influence of cockney music.

Lee Evans

 

[BAMSOLA]

Al Murray by a mile, he's everything Benard Manning should have been.

 

[LizardKing]

Lee Evans

 

[D J Dog Toffee]

Frank Skinner is always good.. And Bill Hicks* (not that modern, but still funny)..

* I know he's not British, but worth a mention..

Have to go with this, Lee Evans by far, comedic geeeenious

 

[Spammy]

Bill Bailey by far.

Ricky Gervais has only done a couple of shows but they are very good.

 

[RedMarla]

I saw the title thread and came on here to say BILL BAILEY!!!! but I guess several other posters beat me to it :P

[francobaresi]

Dylan Moran

Dylan Moran

monster is piss funny

 

[Spoony]

Have to go with this, Lee Evans by far, comedic geeeenious

He's fecking awful.

Modern day Norman Wisdom.

 

[Rudie]

He's fecking awful.

Modern day Norman Wisdom.

Miles ahead of Norman Wisdom, he deserves it just on the pure effort he puts in, which can be seen by the perspiration during his shows. I've heard he has something like 3 suits during a single set. Plus, he's very funny, not everyones cup of tea i grant you.

 

[Fred the bin dipper]

He's fecking awful.

Modern day Norman Wisdom.

totally agree, he's fecking gash.

and for those of you saying Dylan Moran, excellent as he is, he's nor British he's Irish. there are a few good new ones coming through, people like John Bishop and Andy Parsons, but my favourite is Paul Merton, his standup show is fantastic

 

[londonredmaniac]

Graham Norton


















wait he is irish

















and come to think of it a complete pile of wank

 

[MarliMan]

 

[MancBoi]

Lee Evans is definitely your best bet.

 

[FlawlessThaw]

Jimmy Carr is hilarious

 

[BezsMaracas]

Seen him so many times now, never fails to get people in hysterics

 

[Steev]

If you are looking for something different, you could try out Dan Antopolski or Daniel Kitson. I've never seen them so I don't know if they're any good (they dont do telly), but I've heard other people say they're pretty funny.

(But don't blame me if they're shit...)

 

[duffer]

Daniel Kitson most certainly does do telly. He was in Phoenix nights!

I've seen him live as ell and he is very funny.

 

[cinc]

John Oliver would be funny as hell if he decided to do stand up

 

[a_devil_inside]

Seen him so many times now, never fails to get people in hysterics

I haven't seen him live before, only on screen.
One day hopefully though

Download Bill Hicks - Revelations, really funny video.

 

[MikeUpNorth]

ROSS NOBLE! By far the best touring comedian. Constantly funny, original and quick witted. Seeing him again in October at the Opera House in Manchester.

 

[Dev]

Download Omid Djalili live at the apollo. That is class. He does use some of his old jokes but the first time I watched it I was cracking up.

Gervais is class, I have both of his DVD's.

Billy Connolly is the king of touring.

 

[blythy]

Bill Bailey, Billy Connolly, Eddie Izzard, all great. Gervais is pretty good although some of his material is borrowed from his TV work/Steve Merchant.

Peter Kay is pretty funny and he was great live but it bugs the hell out of me how his material is catch-phrased.

 

[a_devil_inside]

this guy is funny too

Ross Noble
Danny Bhoy

Seen both, came out of both shows with tears streaming down my face due to excessive laughter
