Good comedians....

[Elite]

We have had a thread on comedians we don't like. How about ones you do like?

 

My personal favourite is Dylan Moran, the guy is supreme. He doesn't need to target the audience to get laughs, he doesn't tell sick jokes for a cheap laugh (which is becoming the trend of late) and his use of words to bring punchlines together is outstanding. I went to see him in Blackburn a few months back and I was in stitches for the entire hour and half.

 

Honorable mention Chris Rock, simply for his stage presence and his insights into relationships and modern society.

 

There are a few comedians out there I can watch but none that make me laugh as much as the aforesaid.

I've yet to see anyone better Phil Cool

Off to see Rhod Gilbert in feb, seen a coupld live now, but on tv has to be Chris rock, think i would piss myself at one of his shows.

[chrisbonnie]

i cant stand that Dylan moran fella, the funny thing is, he`s not even known here in Ireland, the first time i ever saw him was in Shaun of the dead, then after that was run fatboy run, he`s thouroughly unfunny, just a weirdo

 

that russell Howard fella is quite good, the little blond guy from Mock the week, i like your man Franie boyle off of that too, but his stand up isnt as great as you`d expect, just one liner after one liner, which, after 10 minutes, gets boring, kinda like Jim Carr, who, on tv is hilarious, but i thought his stand up what crap

 

there`s another irish guy called Neil Delamare, ive seen him a few times, fucking hilarious is not the word, very very good,

Bill Hicks is the best/funniest comedian i've heard. The guy is a legend

[Nick Leeson]

Ed Byrne does some good stuff. Youtube-a-plenty.

[Remmie]

Jack Dee is always good value. Some friends at work swear by Lee Evans.

[Section_31]

I like Jack Dee when he's hosting Have I Got News for You, he makes a great foil for the other two.

[RedKnight]

Saw a fella on Live at the Apollo on friday night, Russell Kane I think his name was. He was quite good.

[Unrighteous]

Dennis Leary.

 

Joe Rogan.

 

etc.

[Total Longo]

Stewart Lee is a genius. And hilariously funny as well, which helps.

 

Eddie Izzard used to be brilliant, not so much now he's a Hollywood star.

Agreed

[Stu Monty]

Bailey. Think his last offering was a dip in form but it was a tall order to improve on Part Troll.

 

Bonnie, you never heard of Black Books? Moran's pure genius. "Kids are just like little drunk people"; how very true.

Dylan Morans shite but Russell Howards not? :thumbdown

 

Morans class. But when it comes to Irish comedians one man has the mantle for me. Andrew Maxwell is brilliant.

 

 

Russell Brand does it for nobody on here but I find his stuff hilarious. Dave Chapelle and Chris Rock deserve honourable mentions as well.

Only no him really from The comedians when I was a teen but he was always the one I'd wait for, really dry, legend.

Can't stand that little bollox, he's getting away with it for far too long.

 

Some of my favourite comedians that i can think of now are.....

Richard Pryor

Dylan Moran

Eddie Izzard

Billy Connelly

Bill Hicks

Eddie Murphy (raw and deleirious)

Some Peter Kay stuff is great

Early Robin Williams

[Section_31]

Anyone ever seen Steve Martin's early stand up stuff? Never seen it myslef but told it's brilliant.

Getting away with what exactly? Being completely different to other comedians yet ridiculously funny at the same time? I know, what a cunt.
