the comedians thread

[LESStar58]

Just wondering who everybody at LU enjoys watching to stand up comedy.

for me it's Billy connolly, Jim Jefferies, George Carlin, Jimmy Carr and Frankie Boyle

 

[Frederick]

Jimmy Carr, Lee Evans and Peter Kay

 

[Parra]

George Carlin's stuff I like. But I only know his later stuff. No idea about the early or mid-career Carlin.

You've inspired me to watch a few of his clips.

 

[Red Bear]

Billy Connolly, Dara O'Briain, Kevin Bridges, Ed Byrne, Miles Jupp are all quite funny. Frankie Boyle was better as a comedy panelist, his stand up is a bit shite sometimes, similarly jimmy carr has some funny lines but I don't really like his style a heap. Bill Bailey, Dylan Moran also good.

You sir need to listen to the Joe Rogan Experience podcast....

He had Bill Burr on last week.... But he hasn't had Doug Stanhope for awhile,,,

 

[Zoidberg]

Arj Barker and Demetri Martin.

Steve Hughes

Carlin is the man! Go and listen to 7 Words you can't say on tv and an incomplete list of impolite words.

 

[Twizzle]

Bill Hicks, Ron White, Larry the Cable Guy, Robin Williams

 

[The Charlatan]

All time favourite is Bill Hicks.

Other notables are George Carlin, Steve Hughes, Robin Williams, Peter Cook & Dudley Moore (Derek and Clive was f**king hilarious,) Tommy Tiernan and Mitch Hedberg.

I IQ'd a Jim Jefferies special, still yet to watch it.

 

[azzah72]

Love Mitch Hedberg, Carlin, Hicks and Louie CK.

Laugh all the time even if I have heard it 1000 times.

 

[Danish]

Eddie Izzard is a fave of mine that hasn't been mentioned yet. His ability to talk about history, time, and space in the most surreal and for the lack of a better term silly manner is truly unmatched. Hard to pinpoint exact bits, although his stuff on gun control, religion (jesus meeting the dinosaurs), and Hannibal are bloody hilarious. Death Star cafeteria needs no introduction either.

Might go listen to his stuff again actually :lol:

 

[gUt]

Bill Hicks is my favourite, I like Ricky Gervais but I think his stand up is not the greatest. Pablo Francisco is not bad.

If you're looking for something different, look up Reggie Watts.

 

[azzah72]

Jim Jefferies
Bill Burr

Jim Jefferies is a funny merkin

Dave Chappelle
Eddie Murphy
