Stand-Up Comedy

I think that Stand-Up comedy is having a resurgence as of late, and IMO the man at the heart of it is one, Dane Cook the man is just soo dam funny. Por Example:

Some boss clips in this thread. I honestly hadn't heard of Dane Cook before - that first clip had me laughing about the fella getting knocked over and pretending to be alright. 

Ross Noble has to be the most random stand up's for a while though? He cracks me up.

  best 10minutes ever

I'm a huge fan of Sean Lock as he is so witty. I also love Dylan Moran who was excellent in Black books.

However if you want to see alternative wierd but hilarious comedy buy Snuff box on DVD, A great sketch show. It consist of the guy from mighty boosh and the boss in second series of IT Crowd. (Fulcher and Berry).

"dont say maybe we got some babies"

I would have to say that hands down one of the funniest stand up acts I've ever watched would be Robin Williams Live On Broadway. I couldn't stop laughing for 2 hours. Had me in tears.

Seen Strausman (sp?) live too, that was bloody hillarious.

Was that the one when he done impressions?

The only impressions he did was of piss taking the French. A few footy piss takes. A lot of politics in there too.
He finished up with an on stage orgasim after having done his impression of oral sex on a lady. Brilliant stuff!

Mick Miller. Very funny.

I got the Frankie Boyle DVD for Christmas and think it's absolutely brilliant, definately one of my favourite comedians at present.

Watched that last night Ross, seriously funny and to me the funniest stand-up comedian around at the moment, cos he don't give a F***!

Hahaha exactly! Think it's great to see that in a comedian to be honest. Also recently I have watched part of Eddie Murphys 'Raw' from 1987 I think it was. I was in stitches at both!

Yes, got Raw on vid, still haven't seen Eddie's first one, Delirious, meant to be even funnier than Raw!

^ Eddie Murphy Delirious is the funniest comedy I have ever watched... highly recommended

Chris rock never scared is one of my all time favourites too...

"Jamal Jackson has got to be the greasiest n****r on the planet....Police cant catch him, he just slips away! They be like "THROW SOME SAND ON THAT N****R!!!""

Has anyone ever seen John Bishop do stand up?

Has anyone ever seen John Bishop do stand up?

Seen him live once in Belfast I think it was and have seen all his stuff on youtube about 100 times. Best joke he's got on youtube is about "the Olympics where we were winning medals for things he'd never heard of. For example who did horse racing in school? Did your teacher ever tell you not to forget your horse?"

Another quality scouse stand up is Jackie Hamilton. He's boss. I love Eddie Colington as well, he's made me cry with laughter at times.

^^ Mick Miller above...

'I hate people who take drugs.

Like customs officers, the police...'

Superb.

Still deeply in love with Eddie Izzard tho

Good News Week has brilliant guest comedians. Akmal Saleh, Stephen K Amos, Corinne Grant just to name a few.

How good is Stephen K Amos though, funny as F**k. Cant find alot of his recent stuff which leaves me in tears but this is good:

Carl Barron too, very Aussie comedian, brilliant:

Ritchard Prior seen him 15 years ago spot on true comic.

Jasper Carrott is quality. Some of his stuff has me in stitches.

Google Jim Jeffries Egg

Quality.

Gotta love Tim Minchin, Bill Bailey, Bill Hicks, Dave Gorman.

But the godfather will always be Billy.

Bill Hicks and Richard Pryor - 2 of my favourite American comedians of all time

Richard Pryor talkin about when he was doin smack and got caught on fire.

Mate, that hurts every time i watch that, the guy was amazing.

Forgot Dave Chappelle and Ricky Gervais

The Aussie Adam Hills is fantastic.

I love john bishop, he's class.
Reminds me of carra a bit too

I often thought about doing stand up comedy, only problem is that people told me i would be laughed at.


*i'l get my coat and try to not let the door hit me on the way out*

Same thing with my career really.

Alan Carr's Tooth Fairy stand up is comical. It's genius.

Rhod Gilbert is quality.

Gotta say that Hicks is my greatest of all time, closely followed by Prior and Noble.

Don't remember seeing anyone mention Frank Skinner on here, saw him last year.....absolute genius, back to his best.

Superb, I'll be looking forward to that!

Anyone else find Russell Howard rather unfunny? I could tolerate him at first but the more I see of him the more annoying he becomes, he's really popular with girls my age it seems and the younger teenagers aswell.

I've just seen him on his BBC three program "Good News" or whatever it's called, That over the top, far out comedy he does is really cringe worthy and just crap really.

John Bishop is my favorite comedian at the moment, he's awesome on a league of their own too.

Small doses.  He can be a bit silly at times for my liking.

There are other comedians out there at the moment who are much more intellectual and leave you thinking 'how on Earth did they come up with that', whereas with Russell it's often based around noises and gestures.

Yeah exactly, he can be alright on occasions when he doesn't go overboard, when I've seen him doing solo stand up type things It is too much, It seems silly to say he's trying to hard when every comedian wants a laugh but that's the impression I get with him, get's a bit too childish.

I've become a big fan of Rhod Gilbert recently, seen his stand-up dvd and his new program on BBC is pretty funny too. I'd like to see more of John Bishop's stand up from what I've seen of him he's hilarious. Jason Manford deserves a mention too, he's one of the best around at the moment.

Sorry but i love a bit of Russell .
