Comedians

Who are your favourite comedians.

Been to see a few this year and its interesting how some people really like some and hate others.

Micky Flannagan was good live.

Glee club are good nights out with a decent variety.

Love Stu Francis and Milton Jones. Micky Flannagan is quality. Went to see Billy Connolly last year and he was still brilliant. Did 2 hours 50 mins with no interval.

Re: Comedians

I do like the irreverence of study Francis and in orticilar Milton Jones

I also really like james acaster, although I feel like I shouldn't.

There's also plenty I can't stand but it's nice to have a thread praising some for a change instead of everyone hating Miranda!

Re: Comedians

Lee Hurst is always good when I see him at his club.

He's a very obvious one, but I'd absolutely love to see Peter Kay live.

Good call with Milton Jones, never fails to crack me up when he's on the likes of Mock The Week.

Re: Comedians

Peter Kay, Ricky Gervais, Eddie Izzard, Frankie Boyle,Billy Connolly, all been good live. Would like to see Milton Jones and Werner Herzog, also supposed to be good. Watched a Jimmy Carr stand up on TV recently, a lot funnier than I expected. Saw Bill Bailey years ago and Phil Jupitus, very good at the time.

Werner Herzog? I suppose he could tell the one about the bear that ate a man.

Tom Binns as Ivan Brackenbury. Funniest thing I've seen for a while.

Re: Comedians

Went to see Lee Evans many many years ago locally before he was famous and was doing small halls and found him hilarious and was a fan until he retired,. Billy Connolly always a favourite but didn't see him live until around 7 years ago and was disappointed although that may have just been the standard that he lives up to.

Saw Micky Flanagan, Allan Carr, Michael McIntyre, Al Murray, Ricky Gervais and Jimmy Carr all live and they were all very funny although after Jimmy Carr I doubt I would purchase front row seats again!! It's DVD filmed over two nights and when we bought the DVD I was asking the Mrs where we were in the audience. I thought we were near the fat bloke at the front but the Mrs looked closer at the TV screen and informed me that I WAS the fat bloke at the front!!!

Love Stuart Francis and Milton Jones but when watching longer stints with them it gets a little samey, I think their acts are better short and sweet, and would love to see Peter Kay and Frankie Boyle live. Nina Conti is also very clever and I like Rhod Gilbert, Tim Vine and Romesh Ranganathan. Lee Mack is funny in his sitcom but shouts too much on stage!!!

Walked out of a Chubby Brown concert and also not keen on Eddie Izzard, Ross Noble, Stewart Lee or that idiot Simon Brodkin!!

Still think Eric Morecambe is the funniest man that ever lived though!

Re: Comedians

Zico i love Jimmy Carr.

Funny about you being the fat guy!!

I like it when he does his heckle shout outs. One guy had heckled and he was taking his time and he said, hold on sir i am dealing with someone else and i will put you on arsehole hold.

Then dealt with the other guy and went back and said. so you want my cum back? Well you will have to go home and scrape it off your mums teeth!

Very clever guy inviting heckles and handling them on his feet so to speak.

I also loved his rachel riley joke.

When asked how fit she was, he said i'd crawl over broken glass just to suck the cock of the last guy that fucked her..!!

How bad as he has to work with her!

Re: Comedians

my favourite was Pryor but ones still alive?i like Bill Burr, Norm Macdonald, Doug Stanhope, Stuart Francis & Jim Norton

Lily Hammer 5:16 Tue Dec 5
Re: Comedians

I've seen Doug Stanhope a couple of times now. Love the bloke. He has good material planned, but he can also go off on some dark poetic ad lib.

I had a woman at my workplace recently called Kathy Griffin. I'd never heard of her before, and it 's not normally my kind of thing; loud bitchy american gossip type, but it was more interesting than funny, though she had some funny stuff too.
Interesting because it turns out she's the comic who posed for a photo holding the bloody severed head of Donald Trump and that effectively ended her career in the States. Completely blacklisted. She tells that story amongst others, how the FBI had her in on conspiracy to assassinate the POTUS. Staggering stories. And now she's touring the world and basically does not give a flying fuck what she says. Let's you know which celebs are alright and which ones are utter cunts. All the dirt.

eg. Was it common knowledge that Andre Agassi was bang on Crystal Meth, even when he was still playing?

Re: Comedians

I know a lot of you don't like him (that's why I'm posting it) but Harry Hill is by far the best stand-up I've ever seen (and I saw Bill Hicks at The Apollo Shaftsbury Ave years ago).

'I was concerned about my nan getting old and having a fall so I got her an alarm to put round her neck. Now if she has a fall at home the alarm goes off and alerts the estate agent'.

'The most tasty part of a chop is the fat on the outside. You must never eat the middle as it's deadly poisonous. My dad used to eat that bit for me'.

'Mums tuck you up tight in bed, don't they? My mum once tucked my brother up so tight that in the morning he was a fossil'.

'The most tasty part of a pie is the crust...'

'If you love someone it's a good idea to make them a cup of tea and drop a pound coin in it. That way they get a lovely cup of tea and an extra surprise treat at the end of it'.

'Dad always said "fight fire with fire". That's why he got chucked out of the Fire Brigade'.

'My nan sadly passed away a few weeks ago after choking on a pound coin'.

Re: Comedians

On the subject of audience participation Frank Skinner asked a bloke at the front what he did for a living and someone from further back shouted I'm a ventriloquist

Well l thought it was funny

Re: Comedians

Re: Comedians

Kevin Bridges - the bollocks, want to see him live next.

Micky Flanagan - Obviously good his last show wasn't as good as previous 2. Seems to have run out of things to cover a little.

Frankie Boyle - Watch all of his shows Netflix recently - he was excellent.

Jack Dee - his 1997 show is one of the best I've ever seen, def in my top 3, it's on youtube I think.

Saw Harry Hill at Lee Hurst's Backyard Club for a fiver a couple of years ago, with Hurst also doing an act.

Probably the best fiver I've ever spent in my entire life.

I mean it was the most fucking weird thing I've ever seen in my entire life, but I'm also not sure I've ever laughed so much at hoe mental and hilarious he was. My head was hurting me for about a week afterwards and looking at everyone at the bar afterwards, they were all as confused as I was at what we'd just seen.

Brilliant and I loved his Time Capsule programme on recently, fella is clearly a little mental.
