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

Flibster · 04-12-2006, 19:34

Had trouble getting it to 10 out of that list.

Did the usual of Hicks, Pryor, Williams and Carlin first though and built it up around that.

Was pleasently surprised to see Rob Newman in amongst that lot though. He's a very clever chap and his comedy is maybe a little too high brown for the general public - who just want knob gags and swearing.

I hope Hicks or someone like that wins, would hate it if one of the 'new' breed of comedians won who blatently AREN'T FUNNY! *Jimmy Carr - I'm looking at you, same with Peter Kay and the other knobbers like that...*

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.

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

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

Bill Bailey is a funny man as is Ross Nobel

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.
