Favourite stand up comedian?

What's your favourite comedian?

I personally like the ones that are crude and close to the bone. Currently, I think Jim Jefferies is the funniest out there.

Any others?

    In answer to your question, "what is my favourite comedian?" I would say it is the one that makes me laugh the most.

    If you were to ask "Who is my favourite comedian?" then I would say Stewart Lee.

    But you didn't ask that.

    Frankie Boyle is brilliant

    Others favourites include:

    Jack Dee
    Kevin Bridges
    Al Murray
    Reginald D Hunter

    I saw Doc Brown live and he was hilarious. He deserves a wider audience.

    Wow. School's in session! Bet you're annoying to live with.

    Frankie Boyle is very good. So is Jack Dee. Never liked Al Murray. Will give the other 2 a go though.

    Al Murray on TV is a bit OTT but he's great live.

    An unlikely choice - Bob Monkhouse. Unfortunately he rarely showed his true talent on TV because he did mainly game shows and often came across as a smarmy, insincere git, but his live act (and I don't mean the sanitised ones released on DVD) was brilliant.

    Of current comedians I would also choose Ross Noble.

    I used to love Jimeoin, haven't seen him for years. I remember he had his own tv show in the mid 90's and he was a panellist on a comedy quiz show, can't for the life of me remember what it was though! He's a very funny comedian. I also saw a show he did going round Australia, can't recall much apart from him doing a gig to some Aboriginies in a hut :confused:
