who is your favourite comedian?

richard pryor and eddie izzard .

Lee Evans- sweaty mentalist. Robin Williams. Crap Films. Great stand up.

tommy cooper ken dodd laurel and hardy jerry seinfeld

Richard Pryor was easily the most ground breaking comedian ever.

I also have a soft spot for Dave Chappelle-esp his "Chapelle Show" episodes

But my favorite is Bill Hicks

Barney for me too

ROCKET MICK

Bill Bailey Paul Merton, even if he's more of a panel-show guy than a stand-up.

There's a much longer list of stand-ups I don't find funny. I think I prefer yer traditional sit-com type stuff to stand ups, even if they're by the same person. I mean Blackadder and the Young Ones, fine, Ben Elton on his own, no thank you.

Oh, if we don't just mean stand-ups, Laurel And Hardy definitely. If I ever get a dog I'm calling him 'Laughing Gravy'

said it last time we had a thread like this & i'll say it again, harold lloyd was by far the funniest silent comedian

funniest i've seen bill bailey eddie izzard stuart lee

least funniest i've seen jeff green

lee mack was good on friday but a lot of the set was from the first series of his radio2 show

favourite and least favourite at the same time.

Ted Chippington.

Dan Antopolski Mark Billingham Bill Bailey Emo Phillips Bill Hicks

Got a track by him, covering an Edward Barton song! :)

Favourite comedians:

Bill Hicks Jack Dee Lee Evans Stephen Fry

Lots more to choose from, but those are the ones that I can think of at the moment...

John Cleese... not really a stand-up comedian, but can even make a instructional video or a funeral funny. Has done excellent physical comedy, wordplay comedy, satire comedy. Seems like a surly bastard anymore, is he in much public anything lately in England? He can do whatever he wants to thou.

bernard righton

Currently like Frankie Boyle.

Dennis Leary

PETER KAY and WILL FERRELL.Will is now what Steve Martin was in the 80's. I hope to fuck HE doesn't go all serious!!

Joe Piscopo The Monty Python Gang Dave Chappelle Denis Leary

Monty Python and his Flying Circus.

And Dane Cook--he's a f-ckin' trip.

Still does films nowadays - is currently filming The Pink Panther 2, where he plays the part of Dreyfuss...

Apart from, that, voiceovers for cartoon films (e.g. Charlotte's Web, etc)...

the sarah silverman program is so wrong. but damn funny!

chappelle's show is a classic. wu tang financial, the n****r family, i'm rick james bitch!, and his drive with wayne brady are all classics. not to mention his R kelly impersonation: 'i'll piss on you, i'll pee on you....'

I honestly can't say. It varies as I don't find any of them consistently funny. We do have some good ones down here though.

Mine are Paddy McGuinnes and Peter Kaye. I loved The Adventures of Max and Paddy.

cHARLIE CHUFFIN' cHUCK!!!

No? I'll leave it then.

she is funny and the only thing wrong with her show is that it spurned a comeback of the soda formally know as TAB.

1. Chevy Chase
2. Eddie Murphy
3. John Belushi

Even if I would tell you Patrick Huard, Martin Matte and Louis-José Houde, who the hell would know them (well, a few people MIGHT know Patrick Huard since he's doing movies too and was in the #1 movie in Canada last year)

I never watched a comedian in english, so don't ask me :p

Well, I did watched Seinfeld now that I think of it...

Never realised Seinfeld was a comedian?

Whatever happened to Emo Phillips? I saw him at Hackney Empire about 15+ years ago and never saw or heard of him again since

Craig Ferguson was good. I saw him "supporting" Harry Enfield on his Loadsamoney tour. Brilliant! Made Enfields stuff look really weak...

Yes, he was a stand-up comedian before he had the TV gig, much like the intro and outro bits of the television show.
