You have to be a miserable, humourless bastard to not find Lee Evans funny.

That was his job and he was one of the best. Surely it's you who has the problem? You ever thought about that?

Why am I such a miserable bastard?

Do you ever ask yourself that?

Is that why you enjoy silencing people from voicing their opinions on forums?

Is that more your kind of humour?

:laugh2:

You know I love you Neem.

Saw Dylan Moran live in Edinburgh a couple of years ago and he was brilliant - though of course, not UK, I hasten to add, before Niamh gets the knives out :laugh:.

I also saw Russell Howard when I was at Uni. He wasn't even vaguely funny. The "unknown" guy who did an opening set for him was significantly funnier, which made his unfunniness even worse in comparison.

I read the first line and was about to go straight for the jugular :oh:

If we're talking Irish comedians Tommy Tiernan is brilliant

I will never understand the popularity of Russell Howard !!!

I'm not really a fan of stand-up comedy, but I like Tim Vine.

When I was younger I had a VHS of Vic Reeves Big Night Out On Tour, which was more of a variety show than stand-up, but I loved that. Wish I still had it.

It was just straight-up bad and got really awkward because he was getting a lack of laughs... I actually wanted to leave but I was near the back (it was just in one of the bars of the student union) and it would have been too obvious :joker:.

The guy I linked , Stuart Francis will be just up your street as he’s a one-liner comedian !!

I met Russell Howard when i was having a pint in a bar in cyprus. The toilets were down a stair and on his way down he took a tumble and fell down the entire way. The whole bar erupted in guffaws of laughter :laugh:

awww poor Russell, you're all very mean. I don't mind his TV show Good news

So you might say he was Britain's best... fall down comedian?

He recycles his jokes a lot, which of course all comedians do, but it's really noticeable. My major problem with both the stand-up show I saw and a lot of Good News is that most of the jokes were slightly altered/tailored versions of jokes he'd already done on Mock The Week.

Good News is really the only thing of his I watched so i didn't notice that

That said, he had some great moments on Mock The Week to be fair. He bounces off other comedians well, some comedians are like that (much funnier on the various panel shows etc. than on their own).

Not this again Oliver... it's Colonel Stupid.
