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

Is that more your kind of humour?

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 .

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

If we're talking Irish comedians Tommy Tiernan is brilliant

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 .

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.

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

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

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

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.
