Jack Dee who was excellent.
Lee & Herring when they were a double act, who were fecking awful. Tommy Cooper when I was about 12 - brilliant |
|
By:
Ken Dodd - loads of times. always went so long into the night & he was always superb
|
|
By:
I've only seen Brian Conley. To be fair, he was very funny.
|
|
By:
Seen Ross Noble a couple of times during the same tour and there was about 80% different material each time. He was brilliant both times.

I imagine the old school comedians just used the same act year after year, with just a slight variation to insert a geograpical joke at the expense of the current audience's football rivals.
I really should go and see more, as they have recently opened a civic centre five minutes walk from me, and it is on the UK tour for virtually every comedian going. |

eddie izzard-absolutely superb every time.
my sisters went last night to see rhod gilbert....i wouldn't cross the road personally |

By:
John Bishop before he'd been on telly and nobody had ever heard of him - bloody awful
Jack Dee - excellent Bill Bailey at the Comedy Club before he'd hit the big time - excellent Eddie Izzard - very clever, original and professional Jim Davidson - better than I was expecting, not bad Harry Hill - can't stand him on the telly, didn't want to go - very good tho Lee Mack - Very funny, a good night. Frank Skinner - the best of the lot. Very crude and blue but funny with it and plenty of original 'off the cuff' jokes with audience participation. |

I saw Alexei Sayle a few weeks ago, you could tell he hadn't done stand up for a good few years, enjoyed it tho.
stewart Lee i find really funny but appreciate he divides opinion. Saw Ted Chippington this year as well, but to be honest although he was brilliant years ago I kind of knew I was going out of respect rather than expectation he was going to be funny. bernard Manning was genius , his insistence on telling unfunny racist jokes whilst trying to paint himself as a thoroughly decent family man sort of ruined the act tho. Frank sidebottom actually made me cry with laughter. Seen loads of acts at comedy clubs that are well known but none stand out,this lad was great.... Chris Turner, and re bernard Manning the vid contains a FUNNY racist joke. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ej8EaLF382c |

By:
Tommy Cooper is the only one that has stuck with me; never laughed so much at old rubbish in my life.
|
|
By:
Jethro very good
Billy Connolly hilarious Dara O'Brien very good very clever |
|
By:
GPT, I have to disagree with you re Dara O'Brien. I got dragged to his 'Craic Dealer' gig in Hammersmith a few weeks ago completely against my will I hasten to add and it was without doubt one of the worst evenings I've ever had. He was about as funny as a dose of gout.

I saw Bobby Davro,he was 3 in front of me at Toddington services in 1987.
|
|
By:
He didnt have a clue how close he was to me.

By:
I had the misfortune of watching Michael Mcintyre at the MEN last month he was absolute ****. I didnt even titter although some loons were pissing themselves, at what god knows.

By:
i saw Bob monkhouse once
|
|
By:
Really Slippy Craic dealer is what I saw thought it was brilliant.

By:
Mark Thomas - Very Good
Harry Hill - OK Omid Djalili - Rubbish |
|
By:
saw that geordie bird whose flavour of the month, sarah millican at leeds jongleurs about 4 yr ago , she was 1st on after the compere which is basically the support act - and was poor.Paul Tonkinson is one of the best ive seen, Johnnie Vegas in his early days when he did the clay potter thing was good.Ross Noble was excellant and i like Greg Davies the school teacher in Inbetweeners his Throwing Cheeseballs at a Dog tour was funny.

Milton Jones - pure filth
|
|
By:
all the good comedians are dead only **** ones now they swear and people laugh what rubbish we have
|
|
By:
Saw Milton Jones at the "We are most amused" Prince's Trust thing recently. He was very good as was Patrick Kielty actually. Not a lot else stood out that night although I liked the Rowan Atkinson/Tony Robinson new Blackadder sketch at the end which didn't appear to go down too well in general (it was banker-bashing in a predominantly banker-ish crowd!).
In the past, quite liked Newman and Baddiel many years ago. Al Murray's characters before the Pub Landlord were good, Pub Landlord just isn't that funny, not when you see his earlier stuff like the gun sketches. |

Terry Alderton, Vic & Bob, Jack Dee, Norman Wisdom, Lee Evans, Stephen Amos, plus loads of Manchester-based ones whose names I can't remember (many of whom have had bit parts in Phoenix Nights). Usually depends on how p*ssed you are as to how funny they are, but I remember crying with laughter at both Alderton & Wisdom.
FWIW, I think current flavour of the month John Bishop is abysmal. "Let... me... tell... you... ab...out... me... wife...... and... me... kids..."  |

(Paul Zenon was very funny too, although strictly speaking he's a 'magician')
