I'm currently attempting to find the American comedian that plays guitar and sings songs about, erm, stuff that makes you go blind, its really really fiunny

Sounds like it could be Otis Lee Crenshaw, the alterego of Rich Hall.

[Uncle Psychosis]

Reginald D Hunter!

Legend!

I have tickets for Reg during the Edinburgh festival, I'm quite excited

Other comedians well worth checking out are:

Marcus Brigstocke ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJEH9P0hgCw )

nah, i know who Rich Hall is, this guy was on The World Stands Up a couple of times, no doubt i will catch him on a rerun some time.


What really gets me though, is the huge amount of black american comedians that come on and do the whole race thing, get a new trick FFS. It was funny when Richard Pryor did it, but its not funny when you are the 4000th comedian to try and put a new spin on it, its really getting to be the equivalent of "i just flew in from New York, geez my arms are tired".

anyways, minirant is over

I only really found out about Sarah Silverman a week or so ago with her dig at Paris Hilton, she's great, also does the odd bit for Adult Swim, like Robot Chicken and stuff.

I'd vote too for Adam Hills. Saw him in Edinburgh Fringe with his "Go You Big Red Fire Engine" show, excellent!

[Oobie-]

Adam Hill relatively famous now, been watching his stuff for years tho, he was on buzzcocks on lamaars last series.

Tim Vine is great for really really bad puns, quickfire style

*when i was seventeen you told me it was dirty, it must be really bad, cos now i'm pushing thirty......*

But, my favourite live comedian on the circuit is Carey Marx, the guy is a legend, his show is called Albino Hunter and i was spraying beer through my nose when i saw him, it was just soooo funny

I think you are referring to Stephen Lynch - and that song which you quoted the lyrics off is "Talk to me" :
When I was only 17 you told me it was dirty
So it must be really creepy when you kid is pushing 30

Hes got a DVD called Live at the El Ray.

http://www.stephenlynch.com/discography/index.html

Hes got 4 albums (5 if you count the clean version) - one recorded in the studio and 2 from live shows. His latest is a broadway production in which hes is the musician for - its poo imo

[Dareos]

Oobie, you are a star

[Oobie-]

np, glad to help out

PS. Get Live at the El Ray - you will be in tears

[JK Ferret]

Well, my dad is quite hilarious...

Othes, no not heard of any not mentioned. Dave Norman's GoogleWhack Adventure is rather funny though

theres an Aussie who plays piano (rather damn well too) that was on the comedy store last night, i was on the phone though and couldnt listen to him, but his earlier song Inflatable, was just pure quality (he played it later on Edinburgh and Beyond, same channel, Paramount).

I think that would be Steven Lynch

Stephen Lynch - You Caught Me Spankin' It


"You Caught Me Spankin' It"
I came down to the breakfast table
I felt like I could cry
I tried so hard but wasn't able
To look you in the eye
For I am feeling so much shame
Yes I have brought disgrace
Can tell I've soiled my good name
By the look upon your face

Well it seems last night you caught me spankin it
No use denying it well I was really crankin it
It wasn't my fault
And it wouldn't be so bad
If you could just forgive me
And talk to me dad
Talk to me dad

No I didn't hear you enter
No I didn't hear the door
With my hand upon my member
And my pants upon the floor
Now burned into your brain is an image you despise Like blood and guts and starving kids and Stevie Wonder's eyes

Well it seems last night you caught me spankin it
No use denying it I was really crankin it
Well dry your eyes
And don't be so sad
But I wouldn't use those tissues
They've already been had
Talk to me dad

Yea, the look upon your face
Made my swollen gland diminish
So I said, could you close the door
I really wanna finish
Now to daddy I'm ashamed and I completely understand
If you never wanna hug again or even shake my hand

Well it seems last night you caught me spankin it
No use denying it well I was really crankin it
Well please calm down
And don't get mad
Just because it was your bed
It's not that bad
It's not that bad
Not that bad
Talk to me dad

When I was only seventeen
You told me it was dirty
So it must be really creepy
When your kid is pushing thirty
But you can not tell me dad
You have never had a whack
At the thing that hangs below your belt
And bumps into your sack

Well it seems last night you caught me spankin it
No use denying it well I was really crankin it
And dry your eyes
And don't be sad
But I wouldn't use those tissues
They've already been
And just because it was your bed
Its not that
Rascals in west story

Gorman

Ah yes, what i meant

[Dareos]

Oobie beat you to it Bruce, but thanks mate,

im still in tears of laughter at that song, its sooo funneh

almost as good as Leo Maguires song, by The Big Yin himself

[Mike Fishcake]

This is my favourite thread for some time

Tom Stade is ace, yes. Love him!

Gary Delaney is a superb one-liner merchant with some fantastically sick gags - http://www.garydelaney.com/

Stewart Francis is a deadpan Canadian comic also with a string of suberb one liners. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxlFogcGEyc

Robin Ince is a wonderfully intelligent comic. Political comedy with the emphasis on comedy rather than politics, if you see what I mean. Has written for loads of TV shows - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Ince

Ivan Brackenbury - Spoof Hospital radio DJ. Incredibly sick and totally 'un-PC' (I hate that phrase, but it's the only way I could think to describe it) - http://www.myspace.com/ivanbrackenbury

John Bishop - Fantastic and completely natural scouse comic. Cheeky and occasionally a bit wrong - http://www.youtube.com/user/johnbishoponline

There are definitely loads more, but I can't think of them right now

The compère at the last Jongleurs comedy event I went to was brilliant.
