SeeBass Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Anybody got any favourites? Ross Noble is probably the one I would like to go and see. The sketch he did about fighting an invisble animal was hilarious. The perfect volunteer being the Giant Panda so you can give him/her a second black eye to go with the one they already have! Take Care! Seebass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonoftherock Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Frankie Boyle seems to be the comedian in vogue these days, I think he's quite good on Mock the Week. I tried to get tickets for his performance in Derby next month, but alas, by the time I found out it was too late! A friend of mine saw Jerry Sadowitz during the fringe... absolutely fantastic show apparently! Sounds like he'd certainly appeal to my own dark sense of humour.

Guest Makaveli Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Jerry Sadowitz without a doubt is the best comedian I have seen ever. Jason Byrne is pretty funny as well. DO NOT go and see Ed Byrne by mistake as he was about as funny as Lee Hurst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quirie Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I may be the only one but I think Davidson is funny. Another few that i really like are Dara O'Briain, Ed Byrne, Jason Byrne, Adam Hills, Micheal MacIntyre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kowalski Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I may be the only one but I think Davidson is funny. I thought he was good when I went to see him live. Certainly no more controversial than anything I read on here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reekie_Red Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I watched that guy's clips when you linked to them a few months ago, FJ. To be honest I wasn't that impressed with him. He was like the poor man's Bill Hicks, except without the same comedy element. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reekie_Red Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Had a few chuckles at the Jim Jeffries guy (to be honest I was expecting the Killie manager to walk out and say "erm, well ... Gary Wales was great"). But certainly not laugh-a-line like Hicks was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kowalski Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I've seen quite a few comedians including Billy Connolly, Paul Merton, Jack Dee, Eddie Izzard, Rich Hall, Frankie Boyle. Rich Hall is superb, doing a lot of improvisation and making up songs on the spot. Billy Connolly was the only disappointing comedian I've seen. It was during the time of his "World Tour of Australia" series, which had been on the week before I went to see him, and sadly most of his jokes were straight off the TV series. I have never been sure about him since his Ken Bigley "joke" anyway. Eddie Izzard at the Capitol was probably the best I've seen. The man's a genius.

Gary Wales was great"). But certainly not laugh-a-line like Hicks was. Hicks was a more of an intellectual comedian and had a well structured delivery. Jefferies is just like your mate down the pub taking it down too far. That clip is pretty tame, I was at a late night show/debate/chat thing during the festival a few years back when he first broke through and there was a big thing in the press about what jokes are acceptable to tell. At the end of his 20mins about 60% of the audience had waked out disgusted at him (its hard to disgust a late night audience) the rest of us were trying not to laugh as you knew you should not be laughing at the type of jokes he was telling. Loved him since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
