Best/Worst comedians!

[Bungle]

Is he the camp sounding cockney? I like him

Yeah that's the one, curly floppy hair. The story he tells about getting caught peeping out the window is great, maintain the peep haha

 

[Groucho]

Bob monkhouse. Is all.


Oh, and Dave Allen.

Yes, two greats

 

[bluejock]

Mike Reid was decent.

 

[SpeedEFC]

Another one that's a bit ****e: Andy Parsons. Easily the weak link on Mock the Week (even Russel Howard could do a job on that) and always has been because all he does is just talk but he raises his voice as the bit goes on

He's the one that always gives the correct answer to the question, so's he can get a wee clap.

Not funny in the slightest.

 

[Azzurri]

Micky Flanagan's a funny guy.

I like how he always gets his biggest laugh when he walks up to the mic but never matches the laughs he got with his material. It's like when you see a trailer for a comedy and they use all of the best jokes in the trailer but you don't know that until the film has ended and you walk out disappointed.

Got no time for Hicks or Carlin, to be honest.

Stewart Lee remains my all time fave stand up, to the surprise of no-one at all I'd guess. I'm pretty much exactly the kind of person his stuff is aimed at.

Not a fan of his stand up tbh. Well, dunno if it was actually stand up but he had some monologue on a recent show of his going off on some guy/celeb and he just came across as a bitter [Poor language removed] hiding his jealousy behind his "edgy/cutting" "comedy". Fist of Fun was good tho.

Andy Parsons was good live, as was Dara O'Briain (and is also the spit of my grandad).

Dylan Moran is much underrated as a stand up, and I quite like Stewart Francis.

Like Moran, but used to love Ed Byrne. Saw some of hsi recent stuff a while ago and wasnt that impressed. Think getting old has done for him. Nearly went to see Francis last year. Love the random one liner stuff, but having watched a load of his clips get the feeling that his stand up stuff is all just bits he used on MtW, so probably seen it all Liking that other one liner guy off Mock who does the really random weird one liners.... And Tim Vine. And big Lee Mack fan, and as much as many hate him, Michael McIntyre.

Nina Conti that was just on was hilarious.

That,s well good. She's the one who does the grandma doll too isn't she? I'm with most of you on here that I don't find many comediennes any good, but she's very funny.

Edit: Oh yeah, old school Connelly is genius

 

[Nails]

Bill Burr.

Every other comedian is crap compared to him.

 

[Tree13]

Has anyone mentioned Mitch Hedberg yet? Very different but definitely worth a look.

All-time greats include Eddie Murphy, Billy Connolly and Dave Allen; best current one is probably Frankie Boyle; Some of the worst are Andy Parsons, Ricky Gervais and pretty much every comedienne ever.

 

[DanEFC92]

Love Gervais in most things but with stand-up I've realised that Animals is his only great stand up show. Others are quite pants.

Which means he created heaven and earth... IN THE DARK!!

One of my favourites. I don't normally like his style as it is usually associated with poorer comedians. But his observations are so adept.
