Todays stand up comedians

seen eddie izzard live a few times........excellent

agree about rh

I think i watched the same show as you last night...and he wasnt funny in that Live at the Apollo really. His show Russel Howard's Good News....i find him funnier on that, than what i saw last night.

Lenny Henry is incredibly funny

lol

Root canal not route*

root canal is funnier than Omid Djalili ......

dirtman's mate was very good.

oh wait, he was impressions

Yesterdays comedians weren't all brilliant to be fair.

Billy Connolly my ar.se.

Jack Dee, Peter Kay, Ricky Gervais and Frank Skinner are all pretty good imo.... and I know I will get slated for saying it. Many of them are over exposed which is why people get fed up of them I suppose.

Macintyre is a c.unt though of course, don't know russell howard.

To get a laugh these days it seems all you have to charge about the stage and swear in a loud voice.
Probably says more about the audience than the "comic".

i rate ross noble

Bring back Bernard Manning

I agree - you could run a small town for months by burning him.

Dara O Briain;s Standup is superb. Real audience involvement and what not, 99% of women 'comediens' should be shot

Lee Mack cracks me up.
Jason Manford made me laugh too.Especially his babe channel/robinho routine.

i agree the manford routine was funny,heard it on 747 flying back from vegas,and considering i'd been puking most of the flight it humoured me.

Kevin Bridges is very funny.

Stewart Lee

EOT

fill sorry for a lot of you iv seen real comedians over the years. harry hill is rubbish so is most of them now you mugs laugh if someone swears

who r these real comedians of which u speak?

Macintyre
Noble
Howard
Frankie**

The list is endless.Hopeless the lot of them,wouldn't know timing if it hit then in the face.

If you get a chance go and see Reginald D Hunter, definitely one of the best around for the last couple of years

at any moment in time there are only a finite number of jokes, most of which have been used up by comedians since the roman times, so those around nowadays have a much harder time finding new material...therefore they are generally less funny. In 10 years time, unless lots of funny stuff happens, comedians will be in big trouble. The same theory can be applied to modern music and films.

always amazes me that people rate ricky gervais. if the yanks find him funny then he can't be!

agree bout reg d hunter, got tickets 4 him in may, top bloke
