Favourite Comedians

[IDon'tOweYouAnything23]

Inspired by the English Comedies thread, who's you favourite comedian? Like stand-up and stuff.

I have a few- Dylan Moran, Bill Bailey and Frankie Boyle are great. They're more current, from back in the day I'd say a bit of Bill Hicks. :)

I laugh at myself when I fall too, it's better when you're with a group of people to laugh with rather than just laughing to yourself whilst in a heap in the middle of a street or something :o

I know what you mean about feeling uncomfortable, especially if the comedian's not getting much of a laugh :(

[Crash into my arms]

Dylan Moran is probably my favorite at the moment. Absolutely brilliant!

[IDon'tOweYouAnything23]

Dylan Moran is probably my favorite at the moment. Absolutely brilliant!

I'd say he was mine too, I love the fact that he always seems half-pissed when he's doing his stand-up :D

[blue jag]

he is surreal and brilliant, hasnt been on british tv for years.
