Favourite Comedian

[jesslloydfan]

Thought this would be an interesting thread and i checked there is no other thread on this subject, so who is your favourite comedian or if you can't narrow it down to more than one, who are your favourites?

I don't have one number one favourite, but there are some that i really like, Lees evans, Frankie Boyle, Lee Mack i'd say those were my top 3 at the moment.

Bill hicks and eddie murphy are my favourite comedians

I've seen some of Bill Hick's material, and i thought it wad pretty funny. I've never watched eddie murphy live, although i have heard that his Raw performance is very popular and was obviously alot more adult than what he's done lately.

Not only that but I really respect the way these two guys have built their careers. They were both performing by ages 14 or 15 live. That takes soooo much balls seriously and both were really good in their own ways. Hicks died in his 30s but he was just about to go really big. He was pretty anti American government so he ended up being more popular in the uk

Yeah bill hicks was very politically motivated in his comedy, and whenever you see those programs on tv of top 100 stand ups or anything he is always in the top 10, i've always thought it was odd about eddie murphy that he built his career and now spends most of his time doing films in fat suits, it's like he's purposefully trying to destroy his own reputation.

Although they are all good choices so far lol for me it's Jim Jefferies an Australian comedian thats made his name over here and in America. He is brilliantly funny i would well recommend him to anyone not for the family though haha nor the stuck up religious types.

jim jeffries is great, although possibly not the best recommendation if you're easily offended lol.

two that came to my head straight away would be marek larwood and greg davies or more specifically the group they were in called we are klang. if you can have a look at some of their stuff but make sure it's from the tv series they did as that was really bad.

another who i really like is tim minchin, mainly because he manages to be both really funny and writes great songs, a lot of comedians who do songs tend to either be funny, or the songs are good but tim writes good songs that are really funny as well!

I tend to listen (on my iPhone) to a lot Of American comedians.
Eddie Murphys 'delirious' is genius! 'raw' was great too but 'delirious' was the one that clicked for me.
Steve Martin, before he became an actor, was a great stand up. So clever.
Of the more recent ones, Doug benson is really stupid, easy and very funny!

I would say my top three right now are Lee Evans, Al Murray and Lee Mack, all of them different and great in the way they put on a show. Honourable mentions too to Michael McIntyre and John Bishop

I forgot about Greg Davies, i`ve never really seen any of we are klang but i`ve seen some of greg davies before and he is very funny,
Tim Minchin i think is allright, i`ve not seen that much of him though really only bits of one show on tv.

I don`t like Michael Mcintyre personally just doesn`t make me laugh at all, i actually find him quite annoying, John Bishop is funny though.
