Favourite stand up?

Was just wondering who your favourite stand up comedians are.

I am going to see Michael Mcintyre in Cardiff on saturday so looking forward to it. I have seen Lee Evans live, he was decent, I have seen Ricky Jervais and he was awful. Jimmy Carr was very good.

Cannot stand Lee Evans, absolute shite and Michael Mcintyre's not the best.

Billy Connolly and Eddie Izzard are superstars of comedy and a joy to go and see. Of the current crop then I like Rhod Gilbert. Would have loved to see Richard Pryor in his prime and always enjoyed Dave Allen.

Bill Hicks (many many including jimmy carr try hard to be him but fail badly)
Chris Rock
Eddie Izzard (when he could be bothered his last dvd was shite)

Rhod Gilbert when he goes into one is hilarious.

anyone laughing should be shot or sent to ATD, BAN BANTER NOW,

Bill Hicks
Eddie Izzard
Frankie Boyle

I used to love Jerry Sadowicz but haven't seen him in ages. Maybe he's Jerry Happywicz these days and working in customer service.

Boyle = insert jokes about Glaswegians, add tedious attempts to be 'edgy', not that funny really.

I like what I've seen of Hicks.

McCintyre is funny but also annoying.

Izzard is a genius.

I like Stephen K Amos.

Omad Djalili.

I saw Frankie Boyle a few weeks ago and he was brilliant. A couple of my cousins have seen Michael McIntyre (I don't really find him funny) over the weekend and they said he was excellent. Taking my old man to see Chubby Brown in a few weeks. My 3 would be-

Frankie Boyle
Russell Howard
Eddie Izzard

Milton Jones
Stewart Lee

Saw Dylan Moran recently who did a really good set

Arthur Smith for me.I'm an old b*gger and Arthur is my age group.I saw him at Tring recently,in a ricketty old place between the railway station and the village centre.There you go.

Stewart Lee is top notch, Reginald D Hunter and Rich Hall are also very very funny

Chuckles

It was a close-run thing, but the four I've listed just edged out the racist tosser.

Can't remember her name!

Did anyone see the programme recently on The BBC (4 I think) called and I kid you not 'Old Jews Telling Jokes'. Very funny. Guess it might still be on Iplayer worth watching.

Stewart Lee
Dave Allen
Robin Williams - (yes, he was a stand-up once)
Does anyone remember Emo Philips?

Pet hate - any comedian who thinks being 'naughty' is any substitute for saying something funny.

Rhod Gilbert

Reginald D Hunter

John Bishop

None of them seems to change their material much though.

Stewart Francis has won the annual poll at the Edinburgh Festival to find the funniest one-liner:

I used to love Phil Kay. He's not on TV anymore and that unfortunately means a comedian drops off the edge of the planet.
