Who's your favourite comedian? Who do you find over-rated?

 

There's so many Comedeans I don't find at all funny, yet so many other people do. Poeple like Ricky Gervaise, I mean, he's just plain annoying! Russel brand bugs me too, though at least he can be funny sometimes unlike Gervais!

 

I love Simon Amstell, funniest guy on TV by miles. I almost cried when they axed popworld it was that funny, the way he pissed of so many American celebreties with our awesome british sense of humour was great. He's awesome on Buzzcocks, and didn't like the show when Marc Lamar hosted it tbh. Noel Fielding (right name?) is awesome aswell.

Don't know about favourite but Catherine Tate is terrible.

 

"Comedy" for the retarded inbred chav is how I would describe her.

 

Also I partly agree about Simon Amstell. I never heard about him until Buzzcocks but he is great and I can't believe he actually managed to fill the boots left by Marc Lamar.

Russel Brand is funny on radio. On TV he tries to show off too much. Alan Carr's funny too.

 

I don;t know. I'm not a big comedy fan, really.

Oh I hate Alan Carr so much! Russel Brand doesn't bother me so much anymore, but I still think he's crap.

 

As for good comedians, Jack Dee and Lee Evans are legendary =D

Ross Noble. Undoubtedly one of the funniest men alive.

 

Jimmy Carr and Russel Brand are not funny, however. Jimmy Carr in particular gets boos for believing that swearing at the Prince of Wales charity gig for CHILDREN was going to go down well.

Harry Hill. TV Burp is hillarious along with his commentary on You've Been Framed. His stand up show has strong material too.

 

Jimmy Carr. One can easily watch just 5 minutes of his stand up show, and still be amused, as he doesn't really on long joke's, just a hell of a lot of one line jokes. So you defintley get you money's worth if you see him.

 

Paul Merton and Ian Hislop. Have I Got News For You - one of my favourite TV programme's ever! Would love to be in the audience someday. Great surreal comedy from Paul and great satrcial comedy from Ian.

 

Marcus Brigstocke. Saw him live in October, and belive him to be the best stand-up comedian I have seen so far.

 

John Cleese. Fawlty Towers. Enough said.

 

David Mitchell and Robert Webb. David is a fantastic topical comedian and both are great in the TV show's together.

 

Honourable mentions : David Jason, Bill Bailey, Frankie Boyle

 

Over-rated : Catheriene Tate, Litte Britain, Russell Brand and Peter Kay's stand up (his TV work is great)

I've always loved Never Mind The Buzzcocks, but Bill Bailey made it much more hilarious than before. Well done to Simon Amstell for being a great replacement of the legendary Mark Lamarr.

 

I have DVD's of: Lee Evans, Peter Kay, Dave Spikey, Ross Noble, Jimmy Carr, Ricky Gervais.

 

Brilliant well-known comedians include: Lee Mack, Jack Dee, Omid Djalili, Ed Byrne, Andy Parsons, Marcus Brigstocke, Sean Lock, Bill Bailey, Alan Carr, Alan Davies, Stephen Fry, Noel Fielding, Matt King, Mitchell and Webb.

 

Non-comedians: Jeremy Clarkson

 

I watch a fuck of a lot of stand-up on Paramount Comedy, and Comedy Store is a great show. Some people on that who are fantastic, but you wouldn't have heard of unless you watched it include: Adam Bloom, Stewart Francis, Jason Byrne, Milton Jones, Dave Fulton, Rhys Darby, Reginald D Hunter, Patrice O'Neal, Gavin Webster, Alun Cochrane, Rhod Gilbert.

I fucking hate Russel Brand, show off, and very unfunny.

Dane Cook.

 

Each to their own, but I'm not a fan of Dane Cook. I think it might be an American thing.

 

I Love Ross Noble, Jeremy Clarkson, Stephen Fry, Noel Fielding, Sean Lock and Ricky Gervais (The Office & Extras, his stand up stuff aint as good). Much hate for Russell Brand

 

Jeremy Clarkson for Prime Minister!!! :yay:
