Which stand-up comedian is the best? - Page 2

Haly · 04-12-2006, 20:03

I really like Peter Kay and Ricky Gervais personally.
But I also don't particularly like Bill Hicks, he's interesting but not hugely funny imo.
Different strokes for different folk though.

Has anyone seen an Old video called RAW by Eddy Murphy.
That is the funniest stand up i have ever seen and only equalled by Richard Prior on stage.
Current faves are Peter kay and Jack Dee but comedy is hard and don't last.
Shame

I remember both Raw and Delerious. I also remember my dad walking in while I was watching it, hearing the language and giving me a right telling off. I was 17.

Maybe but a lot of my mates seem to think he is the best thing since garlic bread

and none are northern in the sense that you mean it. I don't think I've ever seen a full show of his as a stand-up so I'm prepared to believe that he is funny but Phoenix Nights did absolutely nothing to convince me that he could be anything more than mildly entertaining. I'll try and refrain from judging too harshly until I've actually watched some of his stand-up stuff though.

Bill Bailey is a funny man as is Ross Nobel

Same here. Had to stretch a bit one the last two.

Ricky Gervais as number 1 for me though. <3<3<3

I was about to boycott the vote because Stewart Lee wasn't in the list. Then I saw he was. He has to be in my top three at least.
