Default Favourite Comedian
Who is your favourite comedian?

After being given a link tonight, I'm adding Ed Byrne to my top 3.

My current favourite is Ross Noble, with Bill Bailey in the top 3 also.

Post your favourite so I can check them out in youtube.

Bill Bailey is easily my favourite, with others like Stephen Fry, Frankie Boyle, the guy who hosts "Mock The Week" but I could never dare to try and spell his name, Ed Byrne, David Mitchell, the OLD Graham Norton (his C4 talkshow was fantastic)...

A Morpheus inspired thread , folks.

Anyway...


Bill Hicks : he might just change your life. Look him up on youtube. Now.

Bill Bailey : Excellent , off the hook , comedy. Damn accomplished musician to boot.

Hugh Dennis/Ed Byrne/Rik Mayall/Adrian Edmonson : Tie.



And just for the heck of it , here are three comedians that have never made me smile. Ever.



Al Murray : British , beer , french , pubs , yada , yada. Get some new material.

Alan Carr : LOOK! FOCUS ON ME! IM ALAN CARR! IM SOOOOOOOOOOO CAMP!

Stewart Lee : I can see why people like him but this 'carefully crafted jokes' lark seems to me like a poor way of explaining why their is only three laughs per two hour show.

His one time partner Richard Herring is also brilliant. It is brilliant how he kept going with this heckler. If I had been at that gig I would have twatted him for ruining my night.

Ugh. I cannot stand Chris Rock. Awful comedian, and stuck up his own arsehole.

What is awful about him? Each to their own but I think he is fantastic. And in fairness , who cares if anybody is stuck up their own arsehole. Almost everybody is , so the argument does not hold ground. Besides , when im watching Chris , its not his arsehole im thinking about. I care about how funny he is.
