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!

Aye, I read his book.

 

Funster.

 

For News At Ten.

 

On Donstalk.

Saw Reginald Hunter at the Edinburgh festival this year.

Not laughed like that for a long time.

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.

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.

Jim Jeffries

 

Funniest man around just now + makes Frankie Boyle look tame.

 

Jim davidson is to comedy what Jimmy Calderwood would be to the Russian ballet.

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

Feck me

Was this cunt ever funny? Very very very.... dodgy

 

Barrymore, nae barnes as he was very funny when cally pumped them

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!

 

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.

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.

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.

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.

 

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.

Ron White! How the fuck did I forget about him?

 

 

 

Richard Pryor! 

Seen sandy nelson at the stand in edinburgh at the weekend thougth he was pretty funny. If you can get past the fact the craig hill is a raging homo and really annoying with it, some of his jokes are decent

... and the best of the best, Tommy Cooper

 

I very clearly remember watching the Variety Performance that he died on. People cracking up with laughter cos he's saying "ooh, difficult to breath"

Heard a story once about Tommy Cooper at Aberdeen airport.

He was sitting in the bar having a drink waiting for his plane and there was a load of riggers in there after coming back from off-shore. As they got more pissed they got more lairy and one spots Tommy so he starts bugging him shouting "Hey Tommy show us a trick, come one just one trick" Tommys nae impressed and just wants to be left alone, but the guy keeps on hassling him eventually he goes "Alright I've got a smashing trick for you, give us your watch" so the guy takes off his Rolex and gives it to Tommy Cooper who then says to the guy behind the bar "Have you got a hammer?", so the barman goes off and comes back with a hammer. Tommy then wraps the watch in a bar towel, smashes the shite out of the Rolex and hands it back to the guy, and says "There you are there's your smashing trick!"
