Comedians.

Don't know if this has already been done as a thread, but who are your all time favourite top 3 comedians.

Here's mine: 1. Bill Hicks (shame he passed away young)
2. Richard Pryor ( He was the funniest man on the planet)
3. Jerry Seinfeld (probably be a controversial choice because a lot of people think he's crap)

Was trying to think of some British comedians I was really into, couldn't think of any to make the list.

Yeah a real love/hate style of comedian! I find him really funny and the one series (The Pall Bearers Revue) he was allowed to do was fantastic at times. They haven't repeated it or allowed him on the telly since.

Was thinking about this the other day. People like Lenny Henry and Russell Howard have spent their lives as 'comedians' yet I have literally never laughed at anything they've ever said.

1/ Chubby Brown
2/ Tommy Cooper
3/ Bob Monkhouse

Was reading that he branded Jimmy Saville a paedophile years ago before it all eventually came out.

Went to see Chubby Brown a fair few years ago now, my girlfriend walked out, and because I wouldn't leave with her she blew me out.
