Bill Bailey is always a laugh, Al Murry Pub Landlord is a goodun to
Agreed, especially when paired with Richard Herring in Fist of fun...Originally Posted by Mike Fishcake
No love for Mark Thomas?
I knew there would be people I missed off. Yep - Mark Thomas and Mark Steel(e?) as well. Some might consider them to be a bit preachy, but I like their attitude.
Also - how could I forget Richard Herring? He's been doing well for himself in the last few years as well. I am a comedy whore
bill bailey is still my fav after seeing him a few years back on his part troll tour, fantastic!!
recently iv been going round a load of local comedy nights and found some really good comedians, unfortunately i cant remember any of there names altho i have seen johnny vegas once and he was steaming pissed and wanted to destroy the pub we were in, brilliant! i have never seen the crowd get such a slating before and i dont think i will again
Sorry for bringing this topic back up again but I think Alan Carr and Paul Thomas need mentioning as they are both fantastic.
Lee Evans, Jasper Carrot, Jimmy Carr, Jack Dee and Bill Bailey. No particular order.
Lee Evans got boxset, and some of them he does use the same jokes. But suppose that is normal for standups?
Billy Connolly - Absolute ****** in my opinion. Not even funny. Well Not that I have watched some of his stand ups all the way through. I think he jsut puts me off with his constant screaming (whenever i see him doing stand up he is screaming)
It is normal - and anyone should be able to appreciate that a professional comedian that does several gigs a week isn't going to be able to create brand new material for each show. They need to fine tune it, get it just right and make it work well.
However, if I'm buying a DVD, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect that DVD to have different material on than any previous releases.
Whether it's fair or not, situations are different for the bigger household name comedians. Taking into account people like Lee Evans, Peter Kay, Billy Connolly etc, people generally go to their gigs because it's them. However, when it comes to going to comedy clubs, whether it's a small gig in a pub function room or somewhere like The Comedy Store or Jongleurs, people mostly go there just to watch 'comedy' rather than to watch any one act in particular. In other words, it's far more likely for people to be familiar with a comic's older material if it's a comedian from the telly, rather than someone they've probably never heard of at a comedy club.
(oh yeah, and I like Jack Dee and Jasper Carrot as well)
Dave Gorman.
YES! Of course! How on earth could I forget him?
I've got both the Googlewack Adventure and the Dave Gorman Collection , and love them to bits
I have plenty of time for Bill Bailey for being funny without swearing ( dont get me wrong I like a good curse as much as the next person , but it should not be the only reason an act is funny )
Eddie Izzard ( but only in french)
Different Comedians Appeal to me at different times though.
I quite like some of the more "angry / ranty "comics eg. George Carlin / Dennis Leary / Early alexi Sayle , not forgetting the finest of them all , Bill Hicks
Other Times the dry Comedians do it for me - Dylan Moran / Jack Dee etc.
