adios 717 Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Bobby Thompson & Peter Kay to name two. 176628[/snapback] Never saw the attraction, always thought he was one for the grannies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shido 0 Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Love Ross Noble....that man is actually genius Bill bailey is great too... Dave Chapelle is the funniest american tho by a mile, although Eddie Murphy's 80's shows were classics. So either Ross Noble or Dave Chapelle...

walkinthedog 0 Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Hicks is, apparently, the comedians comedian. Huge balls and hilarious. He didn't just witter on about smelly people on buses and wanking with your wrong hand he made people think. Still missed. I've seen Noble twice and he is very clever, totally silly and absolutely hilarious. Not sure about his longevity though. An australian comedian called Dave Hughes, very dry. Bobby Thomson first comedian I ever heard, fucking great 'Whey man they're dropping bombs not pork pies!' Class. Jasper Carrot is a nobber. Saw Jack Dee once, I was in the front row in uncontrollable hysterics and he (sarcastically) asked me if I was alright. My sides really did hurt the next day.

Gemmill 34166 Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Love Ross Noble....that man is actually genius 176638[/snapback] Jesus Wept! 176651[/snapback] I'm with you there Sammy. 176659[/snapback] Went to see him live, not expecting to enjoy it, and he was very funny hindeed. Worth going to see just to see how his mind works. I HATE comedians who have to leap about the place to be funny (physical comedy is shite), which is part of why I was wary, but he surprised me by being funny without all that carry-on.

The Fish 8947 Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I like the surreal comedians, but wouldn't say that they have the longevity of the likes of Hicks and Connolly I'd love to have seen Robin Williams in his pomp, but I think years of shit "funny" films (Toys and the like) have clouded my judgement of him. I used to love Izzard but I've noticed that he doesn't seem to actually have that much material. If you watch his dvd's there's a few gags used in all of the tours. Which is poor. Yet you watch Ross Noble (who isn't as funny as Izzrd) and it's rare to hear the same joke twice.. mainly because he's being "Zany".. wouldn't call him a genius mind.

Still struggling to put Noble in that category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Not that in to stand-up really but another one I like is the aforementioned Bill Bailey. I saw that Northern Irish geezer Smiley (iirc)once ages ago and he was very funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I've seen loads over the years. Sean Lock, Tim Vine, Bill Bailey, Jack Dee and Mark Lamarr were all excellent (even though I don't like Lamarr on Buzzcocks). Ben Elton the most disappointing. I'd like to see the scottish guy with glasses who's on 8/10 Cats and Law of the Playground. Name escapes me at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 The funniest recent stand up I've seen is a guy called Dan Nightingale. Very funny, apparently he supported Ross Noble...but don't let that put you off, the lad is very funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was dragged along to see him in Brighton a couple of years ago. I thought it would be apalling but it was still a good show. He can certainly work an audience without doing all the trademark gurning off comic relief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
