Is Ricky Gervais a comedian, or simply a comedic actor? Not disputing his writing abilities, but saw Politics twice live and it was basically the exact same set twice, no ad-libbing whatsoever. Word for word. The others you've listed are more what I'd consider genuine comedians just cos they can do proper stand-up, which is the litmus test for me.

bob monkhouse billy connelly peter kay

thats all i can think of for now

7 Feb 2007, 04:20

Jack Dee Bill Bailey (genius) Ricky Gervais (not very spontaneous but very funny) Bill Hicks Steve Coogan

Liked Peter Kay in Phoenix Nights but then bought one of his live DVDs and it was pure shite by comparison. Catchphrase comedy for old biddies to clap along to? No ta. At the end of the day Dave Spikey is funnier as well.
