Favourite comedian

There are so many....

 

Lately we've been digging up some old Tim Vine one liners.

 

But you cannot whack the comedy genius of Bill Hicks. It's a tragedy he died so young, he would have had a field day with Dubya a couple of years ago.

 

But Frankie Boyle is pure class; gotta agree with this one.

I'm a Lee Evans fan, the missus loves Peter Kay. Mustard mit I did watch his Doovde the other day and laughed.

 

Of the new breed, I like Jason Manford off 8 out of 10 Cats, Russell Howard from Mock the Week, and currently a big fan of Michael McIntyre.

Dont like Michael McIntyre. He laughs at his own jokes and looks too smug for my liking.

 

If you watch Peter Kay once, he is the best comedian around but if you've seen him once, you've seen him 100 times as he re-cycles all his material.

 

Ricky Gervais' delivery is brilliant but it is co-written with Jimmy Carr and I dont rate him. Just prefer the way Gervais tells them.

My favourite has to be Bill Bailey. Can't believe he hasn't even been mentioned yet. If anyone has seen his Tinselworm show, the part where he talks about having the Pink Panther tune as the national anthem, at the opening ceremony of the olympics, absolutely had me in stitches. The whole DVD is brilliant, as is Part Troll and his appearances on QI and NMTB.

 

Also like Peter Kay, Franky Boyle, Jason Manford and Jimmy Carr. Type "Franky Boyle Diana" into youtube and watch the Mock The Week clip that comes up.

 

As for the ones I can't stand:

Alan Carr - Just so irritatingly camp it gets under my skin and they don't make water hot enough to get it off.

Russell Brand - It seems a lot of women find him "funny" when what they really have in mind is some bizarre sexual fantasy. The guy is a brainless attention seeking f**kwit.

Michael McIntyre - I just don't see the attraction. Some of his material is passable, but is delivery is just dreadful. Always laughing and grinning smugly at his own jokes and making a big deal out of things which just aren't funny.

Jo Brand - Complete one trick pony.
