birdistheword Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I've seen Dara O'Briain, Al Murray and Lee Mack live and they were all very good. Also Alan Carr, was expecting him to be awful but he was quite funny. Not seen these live but I also like Stewart Francis, Ricky Gervais and Johnny Vegas. I don't generally find female comedians funny as most of their jokes is an attempt at some womens rights stuff etc. Lee Evans is overrated in my opinion, he sweats and looks like a monkey, yet his jokes are unfunny. Lenny Henry also goes onto the dislike list as he is racist towards white people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oaks Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I know it's pretty cool and clever to like Stewart Lee, I don't really get it. Although I find things he says clever, I don't particually find him...well funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Can't stand Harry Hill though arguably he doesn't belong in a comedian thread I quite like Russell Howard and find Dara O'brien funny when he does The apprentice I found adding Lego clips to Eddie Izzard on YouTube made him funnier as well See death star kitchen sketch for example the Lego makes it so much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 For me, there's George Carlin from the late 80's-until he died period...and nobody else comes close. Too many shit comics for me to list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted June 20, 2012 Moderator Share Posted June 20, 2012 I don't hate Harry Hill, I just find him completely unfunny Dara O'Brian is a funny man, funny in a clever way Stewart Lee also falls into that category but you can add the word genius to the description Bill Hicks however is tha MAN!

tarjei Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I like George Carling above all. Then there's Bill Hicks and Louie CK. Chris Rock usually gets me laughing too. I watched Dylan Moran and Bill Burr recently and thought they were great as well. Might be sticking my head out here but the one that I really don't get and mostly find annoying is Pablo Fransisco.

Zatman Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 think i like about Dara O'Briain is most of his gigs are unscripted and he interacts with audience and is still very funny. am sure not only person to not like Michael McIntyre, Jason Byrne and Russell Brand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarjei Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Anyone who likes Bill Hicks or George Carlin should check out Doug Stanhope, Hilarious, loads of shit on youtube. My favorite skits are Jews Pedophiles Olympics Immigrants Oh and of course 'Jesus never made you laugh' Most modern comedians are shit, yes I agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knoppy1987 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Jerry Sadowitz, Bill Hicks and Richard Pryor. When I was in my teens I used to like some of Dave Chappelles sketches. Not a fan of Chris Rock, Russell Howard or Peter Kay although I liked Phoenix Nights when that hit the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted June 20, 2012 Moderator Share Posted June 20, 2012 Pheonix Nights is to Peter Kay what The Office is to Ricky Gervais The only thing they were remotely funny in but we were all laughing at them and they were playing themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidlewis Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 The only female comedian which has ever made me laugh is Sarah Millican. In terms of stand up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Loves: Eddie Izzard Mark Thomas Dave Chappelle George Carlin Bill Hicks Richard Pryor Ricky Gervais Dylan Moran Eddie Murphy Raw and Delerious, although dated, were funny as hell. For those not familiar, always loved this (rather famous) slice of George Carlin Religion is Bullshit Loathe: Jim Davidson Chubby Brown The Manning Russell Howard Gina Yashere Shappi Korshandi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I love Bill Hicks, but calling him a comeddian does him a disservice, same applies for Carlin. For the funnies, you can't beat Steven Wright. Most modern comedians are either hyper-active idiots who appeal to the xbox generation, or just washed up vomit from the 80s/90s in desperate need of a pay check to pay for their mortgage..
