rhod gilbert
bill bailey
richard pryor
dylan moran
bill hicks
porridge
black books

ect.........ect..

Crocko 05 · 2 March 10, 20:15

Billy Connolly - The Big Yin

ChrisDanger · 2 March 10, 20:17

Also...

Jimmy Carr,
George Carlin,
Mitch Hedburg

Agree with your choices of Izzard and Hicks. The rest I've either not heard or don't get me laughing too much.

Bill Bailey
Billy Connolly
Al Murray
Paul Whitehouse

George Carlin, first and foremost.

Others in my all time list , Richard Pryor, Steven Wright, Gallager, Dennis Miller, Dennis Leary, John Belushi and Dan Akroyd, and Robin Williams.

murphy0207 · 3 March 10, 18:53

Eddie Izzard has to be my all time Favourite from "Live at the Ambassadors" to "Stripped" , they are all excellent shows, a true comedy genius imho.

bill hicks is a close 2nd tho..

Freddyfartbox · 4 March 10, 16:32

Everyone's already mentioned most of my favorites. Carlin, Pryor, Hedberg...

Gotta mention Stephen Lynch. He basically just does the most screwed up songs ever. If you have the ability to find humor in any jacked up situation I highly recommend you check him out.

Redd Fox... oh god, I forgot how damn funny he was. Never liked Sanford and Son, but my grandfather gave me a copy of one of his albums many years ago. "Wake up, dammit, and sing!" I think that tape actually broke I played it so much.

steve 81 · 5 March 10, 07:58

Carl Baron
Rhys Darby
Arj Barker

All great

Really? He had a couple of funny moments on Mock the Week but his solo shows are extremely boring and juvenile.

Mock the Week is rubbish now Frankie Boyle has been sacked anyway.

That's more like it.

I love listening to his live CD's in my car.

Can't believe no one has mentioned Steve Hughes though, he is my favourite "current" comedian.
