Faveourite Comedian
 

To save hijacking a different thread with quotes I thought I'd start a new one.

Who's your faveourite comedians? Any good ones local to you?

I've always been rather fond of Eddie Izzard just because he's completely mental.

For TV work, Chris Morris (Day Today, Brass Eye) were spectacularly amusing.

Eddie is brilliant as a comedian. I'm not too fond of him as an actor, mind. I seen his Sexie tour last year. Bill Hicks is a particular faveourite of mine.

For tv... Brass Eye was the best, the paedophile special was particularly good. Haha, Nonce sense. Alan Partridge, or well, anything with Steeve Coogan is amazing too. Black Books aint half bad as Dylan Moran and Bill Bailey are good separately, so they work really well together.

Bill Hicks is the man, to me anyway's -local my buddy spicolli is a briliant comedian.

Mike Myers .... came from Ontario, Canada :yeah: now that guy kiks some arse
more an actor now but w/e

Eddie Izzard and Lee Evans...:)

Eddie (I liked 'circle' the best), Bill Bailey (wilderness), Lee Evans (his dvd from wembley was hilarious), and i like peter kay...

do you lot like little britain only i think it's getting a little over-rated now, yeah it's funny (andy and lou being my favourite sketch) but people go on about it soooo much...

Peter Kay is great in anything he does. Nighty, Night was great to. Did anyone see Garth Merengi's Dark Place? that was funny.

Jim Gaffigan. Kinda disappointed to see him use the same material over and over again on the late night shows during the holidays, but nonetheless funny as hell.

And my personal favourite

Bill Hicks

Carl Barron is my favourite, but its probably only the Australians who know of him and or understand he's jokes.
I also like the Umbellical (no idea how to spell that word) Brothers, they are so awesome.

:bowdown:

Ross Noble is my favorite comedian, I dunno how well known he is around the world, but he is the funniest of funny.

Carl barron is no match for Ross Noble.

this is a good thread. i like jeremy hotz and frank caliendo for his impressions. i swear he does like 20 impressions REALLY good. most latino comedians are pretty funny to like gabriel iglesias

Sam Kinison RIP will always be my favorite comedian of all time

peeetttttteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer kay

So true, Carl Barron is like the best everything he says is so true, like how we talk to flies n all that stuff, everytime i see his dvd it makes me laugh even more. Some other funny guys r tripod, they just rock n their lil comedy songs r just the best. The funniest chik i seen was this lady from America whom is an asian lesbian, dont know her name, but she took the piss out of her mum, frik it was good.

ricky gervais is amazing - politics is soooooooooooo funny.
peter kay,
paul merton
billy connolly

david koechner (Stumpy from Out Cold) or jim carrey

:laughing: , ^I totally agree with you.
have you got his DVD? diffinatly the coolest

shaun micallef is the best comedian ever produced from australia. carl barron is a close second.

yeh i do, its good cause u can like watch it over n over n its still funny.

^ Bloody Oath

^ so typically aussie lol

haha fair dinkum. he's a dinkie di aussie

aussie slang is diffinatly the best

Those of you living in London and other neighbouring cities look out for Peter D, a new amateur comedian who's really starting to break through down that way.

He's got a certain humour and charm thats reminscent of Bill Hicks.

Jimmy Carr
Billy Connoly
Ricky Gervais (but only live I cant stand the office)
Morcambe and Wise
Dunno if we're allowed to mention actors or just standups but nevermind::
Eric Idle
John Cleese

There was a programme called 'The 100 greatest comedians ever' but I can't remember allot of them. Look it up on channel4.com/co.uk, maybe it'll be on there

I'm not sure "charm" is the best adjective for describing Bill Hicks really, is it? He was an angry man.

Of course it is, he said the most outrageous things, and insulted pretty much everyone and we loved him like a brother anyway. It takes a certain charm to get away with that. Its the same with this guy. There's a guy just got sacked for making a Tsunami joke - I'd put good money on it than if Bill was still around and had made such a joke he'd get away with it, with the audience anyway, because so many people had fallen for him.

george Carlin

Well, It'd have to say:

Jimmy Carr: He is just the funniest.
Bill Bailey: Man he is crazy, but so funny. Did anyone see his Show that was on Channel 4 a few weeks ago? that was great!!!!.
Paul Merton: Have I got new for you is fantastic...
Ricky Gervais: Both the Office and his "live" Stuff is great.

And even though these arn't stand ups....

Monty Python: Bought comedy to another level, They are AMAZING! John Clesse especailly

Rowan Atkinson: He is amzing in Blackadder.....

Steve Coogan: Alan Partridge is the the funniest charecter ever!

Keith Barret ( dunno the actors name): The Keith barret show is theone of the funniest on at the moment,

Gotta love that Jimmy Carr gag about Kurt Cobain 'Shooting his mouth off' :laughing:

woo monty python, the holy grail is one of my favourite movies of all time... hilarious...

It is my all time favortie film ;)

Bill Hicks
