100 Greatest Standups 2010

[Kerry]

C4 9pm Saturday 10th April (tonight)

Should be a laugh

[Shaun]

No doubt some of the placings will be awful :\

rooting for Richard Pryor, Bill Hicks, Eddie Izzard, Bill Bailey and Woody Allen.

[Princess]

Is this the one they had the vote for a while ago?

[Kerry]

Is this the one they had the vote for a while ago?

I'm not sure. I thought at first it was a repeat. Going on the advert it's exactly the same as one I watched last year but as it says "2010" I figured not however how much can it change in a year? New stand ups are rare so I guess all (if anything) that will change is the placings :conf:

Either way, easy fun watch :)

[Princess]

Ah and I just remembered I'll be babysitting! Perfect,there I was worrying I'd have nothing to watch all night.

I used to love Bill Bailey but his stand up seems to have suffered these days. Great on panel shows though. Very quick witted :D

Saturdays have been very lame TV-wise recently :(

[Princess]

Definitely,least Britain's Got Talent is back soon

[Kerry]

Definitely,least Britain's Got Talent is back soon

Indeed :D

[30stone]

I bet after how much he's done James Corden will be right up there.

Hope Lee Evans holds his spot..

[MissKittyFantastico]

I hope Bill Bailey places in the top 10, the man is a genius.

[Kerry]

My list of likes is endless but Peter Kay is my legend for comedy :D

I like him too, used to make me cry with laughter but he's a bit samey for me if that makes sense. Love his northern sense of humour though :)

[30stone]

Bill Bailey really doesn't make me laugh, recently anyway..

[Shaun]

does James Corden even do standup?

[Kerry]

Rhod Gilbert :hello: He should've been higher

[Sophii3x]

^I agree.. Rhod's hilarious! <3

[Kerry]

Awww Peter Kay only 6th

It's gonna be Billy Connelly I bet :(

[Shaun]

20. Tommy Cooper - legend. absolute genius.

19. Sean Locke...oh please.
18. Harry Hill.

jesus.

[Shaun]

17. Lee Evans. Ugh. tool.

[Shaun]

16. Dara O'Briain. bit high. like him though.
15. Woody Allen - GENIUS. brilliant.

[Shaun]

agh, all but one of my favourites have fallen.

Hicks at 4...Izzard at 5...they should be higher.
Especially since Gervais was third :\

so Pryor or Connolly is first.

[Shaun]

PRYOR PLEASE. PLEASE.

*crosses fingers*

[setanta]

Happy enough with the list. Just watched it from about 15 onwards. Nice to see Pryor and Connolly at the top.

[Princess]

Missed the start of this and bits in the middle but it seemed like quite a good list.

[Shaun]

ah, well, #2 is good enough. Not so big on Connolly but he can be brilliant.

[setanta]

ah, well, #2 is good enough. Not so big on Connolly but he can be brilliant.

Believe me, Connolly is an absolute legend. Every gig I have of his on DVD is laugh out loud stuff and the most incredible thing about it is that he maintained his brilliance for so long, with his gigs from the 70's, 80's and 90's all having that mark of quality that you always expect from him. Nobody makes me wet myself as often as he does, you know?

[Kerry]

Connelly is funny. Just can't take to him as a person

[setanta]

Even his later stuff makes me pi$$ myself.

[Lewis.]

Who got number 1?

[30stone]

Typically terrible conolley is poor.

Lee Evans 17th? crazy.

[setanta]

Connolly got first. Legend. Pryor second. Legend. So yeah, I was very happy with the result.

[Lewis.]

Where was Michael Macintyre?

[Shaun]

Where was Michael Macintyre?

The top ten went like:
1. Billy Connolly
2. Richard Pryor
3. Ricky Gervais
4. Bill Hicks
5. Eddie Izzard
6. Peter Kay
7. Bill Bailey
8. Chris Rock
9. can't remember
10. Victoria Wood

[Smithy]

Annoyed Alan Carr and Lee Evans didn't get higher

And pissed Connelly was number 1, anytime i think of him, he's running around Trafalgar sq. naked :(

[BB_Eye]

Didn't watch... it would only have made me angry.

[Rob]

i'd of put lee evans as no.1 was micheal mctintyre in there?

[Shaun]

i'm just happy with Pryor, Izzard and Hicks making top 5.

[Smithy]

i'd of put lee evans as no.1 was micheal mctintyre in there?

He was in the top 10 I think, maybe just outside

[BB_Eye]

Izzard in the top 5? Really? I think I'm just one of these people that never really "got it" with him. Too cuddly and "good-natured".

[Shaun]

You say those like they're bad things :p

I just love how he can draw humour from the most mind-numbingly dull things, like the beekeeping thing. And Darth Vader in the canteen :love:

[Smithy]

His Marathons on tv were amazing

[Kerry]

Eddie Izzard is an amazing man but I've never taken to him as a comedian.

'Marathon Man' on the BBC (4 part series) following his marathons is outstanding

Aparently he does drag :p

Is he gay? (that isn't a sterotype question, I was just wondering)

He's a transvestite but no, not gay. He just likes wearing make up and heels and stuff

[Princess]

Michael McIntyre was 9th.

[Kerry]

I like Michael McIntyre but I can see myself quickly finding him boring as regards to stand up. He'll be better on panel shows now to keep his comedy refreshing and quit witted

[red]

11th if I remember correctly.

The top ten went like:
1. Billy Connolly
2. Richard Pryor
3. Ricky Gervais
4. Bill Hicks

[Shaun]

I can't see 12 year olds liking Ricky Gervais. and McIntyre was #11.

I'd like to know how the Hell Victoria Wood made it that far :|

No idea. Back in her day she was good but I don't rate her these days
