Top Comedians

Ross Noble was great at the Cliffs on Friday
Dara is there next week.

I like Milton Jones as well

Saw Ross there too was a great show. Going to watch Dara too. Milton Jones is a must see, been to watch him twice before.

Jason Bryne & Stephen K Amos are my two favourites that ive seen live.

 

[Ricey]

Lee Evans would get my vote too.

You should read his autobiography. That guy deserves everything good that comes to him.

I've read it, very interesting read especially how it ends, was really expecting it to have lots about his career when he got famous.

Yeah, but that bit would be boring, and just showing off, which isn't his style at all.

Very true, although I did finish it thinking he would release another book about his life after he got famous. It certainly wasn't a boring book.

My two recent favourites are Lee Mack and Jimmy Carr. I haven't seen Micky Flanagan live yet but forward to that one day. Can I mention one comedian who I have always thought was the dogs b******s and that is Billy Connolly. Sadly no longer able to perform at his best, but still a genuinely very funny guy.

 

[Ricky Otto]

I like weird (Noel Fielding, Paul Foot) or close to the mark (Frankie Boyle, Doug Stanhope)

 

[MK Shrimper]

I like weird (Noel Fielding, Paul Foot)

Wierd needs a straight man to keep them anchored. Boosh is absoutely comic genius, however Fielding's Luxury Comedy is atrocious.

I don't mind Lux but not a patch on Boosh though

Jason Bryne & Stephen K Amos are my two favourites that ive seen live.

He played a small venue in GY a couple of months ago, he was brilliant. Also saw John Bishop in Lowestoft back in September who was also very good, but my all time favourite is Jasper Carrott who I saw at the Cliffs back in 1985. Sheer genius.

Never been less fond of the comedy on offer. I left an Eddie Izzard gig at the interval last year. I miss Emo Phillips, although Stewart Lee can be good.

 

[Firestorm]

I was the Flagpole insurer......

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

I'll vote for Al Murray.

Gotta keep in with the Landlord. :smile:

 

[Mad Cyril]

I'll vote for Al Murray.

You mean the privately educated Oxford graduate a few generations removed from nobility?

Not a fan and find his publicity stunt of standing against Farrage cringeworthy.

 

[mrsblue]

Micky F that is all.

Nice tie :winking:

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

Andrew Lawrence is a bright young and up-and-coming comedian. Got a bit of media attention recently when he posted a Facebook rant about the BBC's political correctness. One of the few right-wing comedians out there. He's actually playing in Southend next month I believe. There aren't many modern comedians I really like. Frankie Boyle makes me laugh a lot even though I disagree with some of his political views.

He was up and coming about a decade ago!

Milton Jones, Lee Mack. I used to despise Jimmy Carr but the more I see the more I love. Same with Dara. I used to think he was a smug git but I think that was bad judgement on my part. Frankie Boyle would get my vote.

The one that does nothing for me is Micky Flanagan and believe me I have tried to like him.
