Especially British Stand-up comedians
I mean I can't think of one American Stand-up comedian that can out do:
Bill Bailey
Billy Connolly
Michael McIntyre

(Well those are my three favourites anyway)

In fact the only American Stand-up comedian that I like actually lives in England, not America... that would be Rich Hall

Plus American comedy shows aren't nearly as good as Britain's are. They don't have:

Nevermind the Buzz****s
QI
Mock The Week
Have I Got News For You
Live At The Apollo
8 out of 10 Cats
Hmm, well a lot of my favourite stand up comedy is British too but do you know if the Americans have any stand up/improv/panel shows similar to the ones you mentioned?
