Imagine if donkeys got cocanine in the early days, the iconography of christianity totally changed.

I love Bill Baley, but for playing the same routine at the live show in Dublin as he did on the DVD Part Troll, he will get eggs thrown at him.

ISABOA on Jun 27 '07 at 5:04pm

you don't have steven wright though

Tonteau on Jun 27 '07 at 5:05pm

Better than what?

stubby43 on Jun 27 '07 at 5:07pm

Loads of people started posting american stand ups, the woman on gay marraige was crap, her act consisted of swearing.

I just like surealist rambles.

Bramish on Jun 27 '07 at 5:08pm

I can't stand Bill Bailey.

d3d on Jun 27 '07 at 5:11pm

i seem to like black standup comedians. off the top of my head my favourite standup acts have been bill cosby, eddie murphy, richard prior, and dave chapelle.

Lucretia Mott on Jun 27 '07 at 5:11pm

Speaking of surrealist ramblings, I really don't like MItch Hedberg.

Jewstice on Jun 27 '07 at 5:13pm

My top comedian will always be my favorite dirty old man, George Carlin.

Bramish on Jun 27 '07 at 5:13pm

Richard Pryor and Bill Hicks are two of my favourites. But aren't they everyone's?

Tonteau on Jun 27 '07 at 5:16pm

Bill Hicks is pretty meh as far as I'm concerned. But Pryor was great.

d3d on Jun 27 '07 at 5:16pm

i love mitch hedberg. i don't care for bill hicks.

loserbeech on Jun 27 '07 at 5:16pm

I love Bill Bailey.

Black Books rules

Aristarchus on Jun 27 '07 at 5:20pm

I love this guy...

wullagaru on Jun 27 '07 at 5:20pm

old bill cosby, old robin williams, brian reagan, chris rock, george carlin

its two different kinds of humor to me though, british humor generally gets teh snide low chuckle where as american humor gets teh belly laugh .. seeing as I like both im glad that there are both

d3d on Jun 27 '07 at 5:21pm

demetri martin scores another point for america

Bramish on Jun 27 '07 at 5:21pm

I can't stand Eddie Izzard either.

He wears make up and I'm a raging homophobe.

d3d on Jun 27 '07 at 5:21pm

i hate chris rock

Bramish on Jun 27 '07 at 5:22pm

I do too.

kissmeimshitfaced on Jun 27 '07 at 5:22pm

Dylan Moran

d3d on Jun 27 '07 at 5:24pm

i hate dane cook.

stubby43 on Jun 27 '07 at 5:27pm

Now Chris rock is someone who depends on swearing for laughs which is just lazy.

I'm trying to think of australian stand ups, but the only one I know is Claire Hooper but her best stuff isnt online. I saw her on last comic standing, she recently did a show where she didnt speak once in it using pre recorded stuff, music and sign language.

One of my favourite jokes she was about learning sign language but she concetrated on stuff you'd never use like:

"Im behind this wall" and "As a child I lost my arms"

d3d on Jun 27 '07 at 5:35pm

i've never heard of Claire Hooper, but Cal Wilson is a funny girl from NZ.

she's also very cute and appeared on tv a few months back wearing Go Japan!

Arj Barker is pretty good.

Carl Barron is the funniest aussie standup i can think of.

d3d on Jun 27 '07 at 5:36pm

Bramish on Jun 27 '07 at 5:38pm

I actually really like Peter Kay's stand up though. He has a funny face.

loserbeech on Jun 27 '07 at 5:42pm

This is going to make me very unpopular, but I love Russell Brand.

Bramish on Jun 27 '07 at 5:44pm

I'm torn re: Russel Brand. He's certainly quick witted, but he never seems to know when to stop with a joke. OK, Mr Brand I've laughed. Next gag please.

d3d on Jun 27 '07 at 5:48pm

never heard of him

Bramish on Jun 27 '07 at 5:49pm

He looks like a Victorian childcatcher.

margolove on Jun 27 '07 at 5:50pm

haha, when I went to visit relatives in Manchester last year they (their kids, at least) made me watch Peter Kay. Funny.

margolove on Jun 27 '07 at 5:50pm

and I guess he has a really distinctive accent, too? Or the region he's from does? That's what they told me, at least.

d3d on Jun 27 '07 at 5:51pm

so would you in a tophat and cloak. you've got the beard and nose.

fatheed on Jun 27 '07 at 5:54pm

Best physical comedian since Chaplin!

She Says So on Jun 27 '07 at 6:00pm

Aristarchus - Eddie Izzard is fantastic!!

'two langauges in one head?? impossible!'

his noahs ark piece is stunning.

Bramish on Jun 27 '07 at 6:00pm

Weird margo. I thought Peter Kay's humour lies in his humorous observations about Northern family life. Wouldn't have thought it would appeal to a non-Brit.

stubby43 on Jun 27 '07 at 6:00pm

I've never really watched Russel Brands stand up, i saw him on Johnathon ross and that was amazing, simply because he told a story about a time when he attempted to steal porn from a service station with a police officer right behind him and ended up getting arested for drugs.

Carl Barron was good, some of the jokes were very australian but I still liked him, I liked Arj Barker but hes american.

Bramish on Jun 27 '07 at 6:02pm

I can't stand Lee Evans either.

She Says So on Jun 27 '07 at 6:05pm

I loathe lee evans.

rholliday on Jun 27 '07 at 6:06pm

Demetri Martin's specials on Comedy Central are hilarious. He does good work on the Daily Show, too.

She Says So on Jun 27 '07 at 6:07pm

Bramish on Jun 27 '07 at 6:08pm

Can't stand those two. They're almost as irritating as Victoria Wood.

fatheed on Jun 27 '07 at 6:09pm

Aussie stand-ups are great. I love Lee Evans and Bill Bailey but Sean Lock is my favourite at the moment I think. Gervais was never made for stand-up. I've seen Brand compare and he is funny, but a lot of his stand-up is based on reading The Sun newspaper - which is funny, but not quite as creative as the likes of Bailey or Evans.

Bernard Manning. RIP.

staffell on Jun 27 '07 at 6:10pm

one word.

hicks

staffell on Jun 27 '07 at 6:10pm

tell you what though, izzard & jack dee are brilliant

fatheed on Jun 27 '07 at 6:11pm

Why is it the all of the BBC3 comedies and sitcoms for the last 5 years have been absolute dog shit and struggled to make it past 2 seasons. With the exception of Two Pints Of Lager, which I think is occasionally funny, but generally low denomination slow-witted humour.

fatheed on Jun 27 '07 at 6:12pm

Amen to Izzard and Jack Dee

margolove on Jun 27 '07 at 6:12pm

yeah, Bramish, they told me that I probably wouldn't get a good portion of the humor (and a lot of it did go over my head), but I did enjoy it.

Bramish on Jun 27 '07 at 6:13pm

Two Pints... is one of the lamest sitcoms I've ever seen. I seriously don't understand how it keeps going.

fatheed on Jun 27 '07 at 6:13pm

Comedians to put on the fire :

Ben Elton

Lenny Henry
