Re: Fav. Comedians?

So, shall I presume you all already know Eddie Izzard then? I think if I had to pick a favorite, he would be it.

Re: Fav. Comedians?

Funny, but not my favorite. Then again I'm sure there are many great comedians out there who I'm unaware of. I'd like to find out more about Jack Dee and Peter Kay for a start

Re: Fav. Comedians?

Gods, I just love comedians in general. Here are a few of the ones that I particularly like:

Lee Evans
Julian Barrett and Noel Fielding (they have to come as a pair )
Peter Kay
Bill Bailey
Eddie Izzard
Jack Dee
Dylan Moran
Ricky Gervais (I love his 'Animals' and 'Politics' shows)
Mark Steel (saw him live, a brilliant political comedian!)
Jimmy Carr

Well, they are just a few that I can think of right now

Re: Fav. Comedians?

George Carlin, Richard Pryor and Dave Chappelle are the ones that I'm quite familiar with.

Eddie Izzard is hilarious. I have a few of his stand up movies.

Lewis Black is great because of his aggression, Rules Of Enragement & End of the universe cracked me up.

Re: Fav. Comedians?

Spike Milligan
Sacha Baron Cohen
The whole of the Monty Python team
Vic Reeves
Bill Bailey
Once saw Otis Lee Crenshaw live...he was pretty good.
Seen Billy Connolly live once and I used to like him, but since his remark about the guy who had his head cut off by the Iraquis and the fact that he bangs on and on about Scotland and lives in L.A. kinda pissed me off.
And I have a soft spot for the great Tommy Cooper...brilliant.
